Episode 60: Southwest Takeover

  • Summary

  • In Episode 60 of Greg Klein's Old School Rasslin Talk, Southwest Takeover, Greg:

    Welcomes Las Vegas resident and rasslin podcast Roman Gomez to the show to talk about Southwest Championship Wrestling.

    Greg and Roman review an episode taped Dec. 29, 1982 in the Junction in San Antonio.

    They discuss the changes coming in wrestling and the need to let go of studio matches.

    Greg, of course, pays tribute to announcer Steve Stack, and carpenter El Santo Negro aka Billy Two Eagles aka Relampago Leon, the lion who moves like lightning.

    They look at lineups from Championship Wrestling from the same week, comparing the TV product of SWCW an WWF.

    The marvel at the heel incoherence of Adrian Adonis and Roman asks, "is he on something."

    And, yes, we close with said Adonis interview, for the goat ropers in the back.
