The Wrestling Stoop w/Bob Roop

Episode 41: Becoming Booker In Knoxville (A Look At Success & Tribulation)


Listen Later

For anyone that has been waiting for Bob to open up about the struggles in the Southeastern territory that led to the "Knoxville 5" running opposition, the first round starts right here! It's a new Wrestling Stoop as Bob Roop continues to discuss the Knoxville territory. This week Bob shares some fun stories involving Ron & Don Wright, then goes into his time as the booker of the promotion. Bob talks replacing Robert Fuller, and the trials & tribulations that went along with the job. Roop formed a triad booking committee along with Ron Garvin & Boris Malenko, though other people within the company didn't care for their "sports entertainment" style approach before the matches. Bob talks the success of the company, as well as the struggle with "the office". Hear about a fun angle involving the Great Malenko and a BOX of ladies, and Bob's philosophy on a "variety show" booking approach!
