S1 Ep17: Pro Wrestling This Week - Original Episode from January 30th, 1993

Welcome to Episode 17 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind. This episode rewinds back to the radio show I hosted on January 30th, 1993 when news broke of the death of Andre The Giant. We break the news with Andre's friend and caretaker of his farm - Frenchy Bernard who we bring on the air to confirm Andre's passing. Wrestling Reporter Don Laible joins us as well - and we take calls from listeners. A facinating look back at the death of a legend in real time from 1993!
