Along with Bret Ron is one of the best. He is one who gave Broadway his name. Another great announcer is Bob Fink. He ran Wentzville and did AHRA in the 70s and 80s. Sometimes with Bret.
8) Thanks BP. Well said about Beswick. About the wrestling. I had an old aunt that lived with us in Peru, IL. when I was a child. Aunt Ann loved wrestling. Took it very serious. We would watch it every Sat. night. Channel 9 from Chicago sponsored by Foreman Motors. This was the Vern Gagne SR. Champi...
