Episode 113: I Don’t Think That’s Santa Claus

This week STICK TO WRESTLING presents Part One of our conversation with Chris Tabar as we take a look at the1984 Texas Stadium Parade of Champions, also known as the David Von Erich Memorial Show, and the events that led up to it. Tabe has been binge watching WCCW, so the events are all fresh in his memory. Also discussed:

–Was David Von Erich scheduled to win the NWA title?
–Fritz Von Erich, world’s oldest 54 year old.
–Buck Zumhoff wins the Most Phony Wrestler award.
–The pros and cons of Bill Mercer.
–Dewey Robertson reiventing himself as The Missing Link.
–Could Butch Reed have been the best alternative for the WWF if Hulk Hogan were not available?
–Why the Kamala vs The Great Kabuki Texas Stadium bout was a really important match.
–Kerry Von Erich trying to sell his Texas Stadium robe years later.
–Did Sunshine cut the single greatest promo in wrestling history?

Plus we discuss a website that thinks it would have been cool if David Von Erich made his return at the 1984 Texas Stadium Parade of Champions, also known as the David Von Erich Memorial Show, so what are you waiting for? DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN TO this wicked good bad boy!
