S2 Ep60: John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight

One of the episodes I am most proud of in the history of not only the podcast, but the entire history of Pro Wrestling Spotlight. On this episode we cover the 30th anniversary of the death of Andre The Giant, reviewing the original broadcast of the Pro Wrestling Spotlight from January 30th, 1993 which aired on 1440 AM - WNYG in Babylon NY.    Joining me on the podcast to review that show is Jackie Bernard McCauley - the woman who with her late husband Frenchy Bernard, took care of Andre's ranch in Ellerbe, North Carolina and lived with him on that ranch.  Jackie discusses the friendship with Andre, shares intimate memories about him, and his death heard for the first time ever on a podcast.  We also bring on Chris Owens, the foremost Andre memorabilia expert and collector, and a true Andre historian.      This is an episode you will want to watch in its entirety. Watch the video version here, which include rare photos, and a clip from Andre's debut at Madison Square Garden in March of 1973! https://youtu.be/g2YzL_HSj-U Host: John Arezzi Producer and Creative Director: Marsh Patreon Executive Producers: Anthony Pires and Joe Holloway JOIN THE PATREON PAGE FOR THIS PODCAST AND EXPERIENCE 50 YEARS OF HISTORY FROM THE ARCHIVES OF WRESTLING HISTORIAN AND CO-AUTHOR OF THE BEST SELLING BOOK MAT MEMORIES HERE:  https://www.patreon.com/JohnArezzi Check out some great wrestling memorabilia and other cool collectibles at: https://www.ebay.com/usr/matmemories Subscribe to the show's YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ProWrestlin...
