Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Presents: Personalities, Territories, Towns & Buildings Episode 23 The St. Louis wrestling year of 1975.

Today on the show, we continue to flashback 50 years in Pro Wrestling History and today we go to the Worldwide capitol of professional wrestling during the territory era, St. Louis, Missouri. My special guest is Herb Simmons, who began running shows for the St Louis Wrestling Club and Sam Muchnick in 1974. Herb was recently honored at the annual Caulflower Alley Club reunion. We discuss that, his Fan Fest and the St.. Louis Hall of Fame back in the Spring, this year’s wrestling event he promoted in Waterloo at the Tragos-Thesz Hall of Fame event and we flashback to the year of 1975 to some big cards and matches in St. Louis!
