This week on The Wrestling Stoop… After a 5 month hiatus from the wrestling ring, Bob returns to the squared circle for the Dallas territory. Listen as Bob discusses Fritz Von Erich at length. We get stories of Fritz the man, the wrestler, the promoter, Von Erich’s wild booking idea involving NFL players, the Iron Claw movie, & more. Bob also shares his affinity for promoter Paul Boesch (of Houston), working for Joe Blanchard (San Antonio), taking Wahoo McDaniel’s CHOPS, The feud with Great Mephisto that never happened, as well as his matches and time spent with the likes of Blackjack Mulligan, Ken Patera, Red Bastien, and a teenage Gino Hernandez! We also discuss Bob having Bruiser Brody’s first matches in the business, Thunderbolt Patterson wrestling a Carny, Roop racing the Windham Brothers on the highway, wrestlers creating an intentional Cauliflower Ear, and so much more!
NOTE: DUE TO TECHNICAL ISSUES THERE IS A BRIEF CUT IN THE PROGRAM VERY EARLY ON. BUT HAVE NO FEAR, THE COUPLE MINUTES OF SHOW THAT WE LOST WAS DISCUSSED AGAIN TO MAKE SURE WE COULD BRING THE LISTENERS THE PROGRAM IN ITS ENTIRETY!
