Welcome to episode 1 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind - where we look back at classic shows from the archives of John Arezzi, going back to the very early days of pro wrestling talk on the radio. On this episode - we will review the debut show which aired on 1440 WNYG in Babylon, NY.

Marsh and I bring on the first engineer of PWS, Rob Leonard to share stories of those first shows and his time with WNYG. Plus you'll hear highlights from that show, with Jimmy Hart, the debut of "independent reporter" Don Laible.

There are classic phone calls & commercials. Plus Ricky Steamboat and ex NFL player Brian Donahue.
