About this listen

This week on the Wrestling Stoop, Bob Roop takes listener questions and discusses random memories from throughout the early part of his career. We discuss the tragic tail of "Killer" Buddy Austin, the unheralded Al Velasco, Bob embracing the world of pro wrestling from the beginning, why he chose to train in Florida over Minnesota, his first encounter with Verne Gagne & Billy Robinson at the 72 Olympics, Scotland's Black Angus, working in front of different fan types around the world, and so much more!
