Rasslin 101: Chicago Wrestling History Part 2 (With Richard Vicek)

This week on Regional Rasslin, Guest Richard Vicek returns as he oins Ray Russell to talk more Chicago Wrestling Club history. We pick up where we left off in the mid 1970s as we talk more Stadium events, Johnny Starr replacing Bobby Heenan's spot, Wilbur Snyder in Tie-Dye, the decline of the territory throughout the early 1980s, WWA talent being shunned in the dying days of the promotion, and much more! Plus, we go back to the 70s and listen to some super rare old school interviews with the likes of Heenan, Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens & Ox Baker!
