S2 Ep62: John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight

Here is episode 62 of John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast, covering the original broadcast of February 13th, 1993. It is the 30th Anniversary of the firing of Bill Watts, and the big announcement that Pro Wrestling Spotlight will be returning to WEVD!  Joining us on the podcast is Mark Madden, who discusses the fax he sent to Henry Aaron and other WCW executives that sealed the fate of Bill Watts with the company. Bill was interviewed by Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch for Keller's Torch annual in 1991. Watts statements in the interview were explosive with alleged racist and homophobic statements.  Watts copied that interview and faxed it to the Turner officials, and all hell broke loose. We have upload the Torch issue here for you as well, that covered the Watts firing.
