Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Territory History Show Episode 82
Hey everyone, Tony Richards here!
Episode 82 of The Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel History Show is another history-packed episode with three strong segments.
Segment 1:
We welcome Bob Smith of The Outdated Wrestling Hour and Outdated Entertainment Hour. Bob was also a staff member at Pro Wrestling Illustrated, worked on the first PWI 500, and played in B.B. King’s band. It should be a fascinating visit.
Segment 2:
I go back to the 1966 West Texas Territory, this time covering the Tuesday night town of Odessa. We take a deep dive on promoter Pat O’Dowdy and look at the January cards in Odessa.
Segment 3:
Another fun Mailbag segment. Steve Gennerelli and I take a crack at fascinating questions from our viewers and listeners.
