PRO WRESTLING SPOTLIGHT EPISODE 39 - AUGUST 8TH, 1992

07/15/22 • 101 min

Welcome to Episode 39 of John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast!

On this episode we review the August 8th, 1992 editions of Pro Wrestling Spotlight, broadcast from the studios of WEVD AM in New York City.

This is an explosive show - with John Arezzi responding to a false report on the Coach Kurt (Schneider) wrestling line, which said that Bruno Sammartino, and a number of advertised guests for the upcoming Weekend of Champions Wrestling convention, would not be there! John also responds to his view that Vince Russo had a hand in these false reports. John gets a call from Bruno Sammartino during the show to respond to these reports. And John makes the announcement of him being selected to host "The Wrestling Insiders" nationally syndicated radio show! A very newsworthy show!
