Episode 44: The AWA Wrestling Life Of George Schire!
Listen now
Description
It's not often that host Bob Smith (former PWI managing editor) gets a bit sheepish bringing on a guest - but that's the way he felt in meeting the famed wrestling historian George Schire, the author of the classic pro wrestling book Minnesota's Golden Age Of Wrestling From Verne Gagne To The Road Warriors. The award-winning Schire takes listeners on quite a journey - not only throughout the history of the AWA, but also touching on his own career, today's wrestling, the rise of the WWF, and much more. It's a unique perspective that only a legendary writer like Schire can bring - with the unique touch that only Smith and his Outdated Wrestling Hour can deliver to serious mat fans. Bonus: Don't miss the opener, where another "legendary wrestling writer" makes a humorous surprise appearance! Support the showContact us at [email protected]!
