Show Notes
Gregory Iron is back to talking with guests, this time sitting down with legendary midwest ring announcer Hank Hudson.
Hear Hank talk about attending studio wrestling shows as a heel wrestling fan in Pittsburgh and nearly brawled with Bruno Sammartino, who WWWF promoted shows, athletic commissions, how he got his start in wrestling,keeping detailed stats and notes on 40+ years of wrestling shows, how he came up with the place of origin for a current WWE Hall of Famer, his experiences reffing and announcing for the WWF with the likes of Macho Man and Pat Patterson, a George Steele/ Howard "Animal Steele" confrontation and wrestling impersonators, Virgil, how Psycho Mike and G-Moe got away with running shows in the K-Mart parking lot, Cleveland wrestling history, the time he was unexpectedly bladed by an ECW wrestler, disliking Chris Adams, and so much more.
Before the interview, it becomes clear that The 'Rona is stressing Aaron and Iron the f**k out -- Aaron talks about one of his first interactions with Howard "Animal Steele," and we try to figure out just how many Animal Steele's there were.
