The Wrestling Stoop w/Bob Roop

Episode 45: KNOXVILLE 79 - GOODBYE Southeastern, HELLO All-Star!


Listen Later

The Wrestling Stoop w/Bob Roop returns this week as we discuss the "Knoxville Five" and their FINAL night in the Southeastern territory, the following week's card featuring Roop & company sitting in the crowd (find out the REAL reason why), and the first week of the brand new All-Star Wrestling promotion running opposition to the NWA. All the while, Bob dispels, shuts down, & calls into question MANY stories & false narratives that have been spread about the entire situation. We talk comments made by the likes of Ron Fuller, Jimmy Golden not blaming the group for leaving Southeastern, why the Knoxville 5 was really the "Knoxville Seven", the impact Dick Slater played in clipping the new company's wings before they could fly, early issues with getting TV, having the deck stacked against the new outlaw territory from the start, & so much more! Another fun trip back to the summer of 1979 as All-Star begins to run competition and join in with the Poffo Family, which includes Randy "Macho Man" Savage!
