Episode 09: The "Hostile Takeover" Of San Francisco, IN DETAIL!
12/28/23 • 129 min
The week on the Stoop, we finish up the 6-Month heated rivalry between Bob Roop vs. Kevin Sullivan, and then we turn our attention to what everyone has been waiting for... Bob Roop's attempted "takeover" of the San Francisco territory from promoter Roy Shire, and the end result of that situation! First, we finish up the personal feud between Bob Roop vs. Kevin Sullivan, as we talk pull apart brawls, plus Death & Cage Matches! Listen to what Kevin Sullivan refers to as the worst finish of a match he's ever been involved in, thanks to promoter Roy Shire. Then from there, we turn our attention to the entire Roop/Shire debacle that led to a potential "hostile takeover" before the whistle was blown and Bob was given his notice. Who is Louie Miller? What REALLY happened? A licensed suspended! The entire story is told this week, a true piece of wrestling history discussed in detail! The truth is finally told and it doesn't come close to the narrative that's out there. Judge for yourself who was right or wrong... but whatever you do, don't miss this exciting episode of the Wrestling Stoop.... A MUST LISTEN for Wrestling Historians!
