Gary Hart Interview pre Great American Bash 1989 and Battling Beauties
11/14/24 • 97 min
Welcome to episode 13 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind - where we look back at classic shows from the archives of John Arezzi, going back to the very early days of pro wrestling talk on the radio. On this episode - we will review show #13 show which aired on 1440 WNYG in Babylon, NY on July 2nd, 1989.
The review of this show brought a lot of comparisons to what PWS eventually became - which was a true insiders radio program. But that was not the case in July 1989. From Broadway Sonny Blaze and John discussing the "new" East Coast Wrestling (ECW) organization that was starting up on Long Island and wrestlers being contacted by them (the promotion never got off the ground), to the worked interviews with Indy women wrestlers, to John promoting next week's exclusive interview with Terry Funk - the whole show was one big work! Listen for the first reference ever of the "Great American Nightmare" when 1989 John discusses Dusty Rhodes and his vignettes in the WWF.

Welcome to episode 12 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind - where we look back at classic shows from the archives of John Arezzi, going back to the very early days of pro wrestling talk on the radio. On this episode - we will review show #12 show which aired on 1440 WNYG in Babylon, NY on June 25th, 1989.
Marsh and I review the show that featured many interviews from NWA stars including Teddy Long with Norman the Lunatic, Paul E. Dangerously and Jim Cornette in a hilarious backstage encounter, and more. We also discuss the first bus trip to the NWA show in New Haven Connecticut and play bus banter with Bruce Jacobs, the listeners and even John's sister!
On a serious note - with the recent lawsuit filed against Vince and Linda McMahon, the WWE and TKO by 5 ring boys this past week - John for the first time goes back in time to give his history with Mel Phillips, who he first met in June, 1974.
