GRENADE BONUS SHOW - The Regional Rasslin' Podcast returns with Episode 3 as we wrap up the year of 1977 in the WWWF. We're joined once again by Guest Co-Host John McAdam of the Stick to Wrestling Podcast as we talk Ken Patera's path of destruction, Billy White Wolf's Injury, Bob Backlund vs. Tor Kamata in a Texas Death Match... on TV. School's out for summer, which means George Steele is in the WWF. We'll also look at Andre the Giant, "High Chief" Peter Maivia, Dusty Rhodes, Mil Mascaras, Spiros Arion, Haystacks Calhoun, Gorilla Monsoon, Ivan Putski, Stan Stasiak, Bruiser Brody, The Golden Terror, and so much more! Plus, who is the 1977 Manager of the Year? Well, we took our OWN poll on social media and let our listeners decide! Spoiler alert, it wasn't Arnold Skaaland! All of that, plus a special tribute to wrestling legend Johnny Powers!
Show Notes
NOTE: Since we posted the first two episodes of our sister show "Regional Rasslin" covering 1977 in the WWWF here, we thought it would be nice to put a bow on it by also adding the final edition of 1977 to completen the trilogy here on the Grenade show as well. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO OUR 100% TERRITORY BASED PROGRAM "REGIONAL RASSLIN' you will have to pick it up on WrestleCopia.com or your favorite streaming apps by looking up the show itself - Regional Rasslin'. Episode 4 will welcome former ROH owner Cary Silkin as he talks growing up a fan in the New York territory in the late 60s and early 1970s!
This week, in perhaps the greatest Trilogy since the original Star Wars movies, The Regional Rasslin' Podcast returns with Episode 3 of 1977 in the WWWF. We're joined once again by Guest Co-Host John McAdam of the Stick to Wrestling Podcast as we wrap up the year of 1977 and we talk Ken Patera's path of destruction, Billy White Wolf's Injury Angle, Bob Backlund vs. Tor Kamata in a Texas Death Match... on TV. School's out for summer, which means George Steele is in the WWF.
