This next guest is certainly an encyclopedia when it comes to the Professional Wrestling business & grew up on the AWA territory. We discuss some of George's favorite wrestlers, talent such as Jesse Ventura & others that had Minnesota ties, but also the changes in the business (as well as little more real life stuff). We had so much to discuss about the history of the business (and fun) we broke things up in two parts. Enjoy part 2 with the author of “Minnesota’s Golden Age of Wrestling: From Verne Gagne to the Road Warriors” George Schire!
