Here is episode 74 of the Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast, covering the original shows that aired on May 1st, 1993!

There was no tape of the morning show on 1440 WNYG as the original broadcast was not a live show 30 years ago. SO - that recorded show was never returned to me (a mystery that will not be solved).  

On the evening WEVD program, which originally aired on 1050 AM WEVD in NYC, NY, we have another hilarious show, highlighted by a call in by Paul E. Dangerously (who appears for the 2nd week in a row with a special "Proposal"). Dave Meltzer calls in as well from NYC, where he was in town for a special personal obligation. We have the oddest Meltzer appearance EVER on the show!   Don Laible does the news capsule and much more.

The morning show which aired on 1440 WNYG features Jim Cornette, who discusses Smokey Mountain Wrestling, and comments on the WCW fiasco of a show held in NYC on April 14th.  Cornette is classic on the show as always! Lots of callers, commercials, hilarity and more!

Here is episode 70 of the Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast.  We bring Broadway Sonny Blaze back for for the first half of the show, to discuss his relationship with Mark LoMonaco (Bully Ray/Bubba Ray).  Sonny discusses his history with Bubba, which was volatile 30 years ago, and remains so today.   With Bubba professing his dislike for both Sonny and ME, I was always curious as to why he has held these feelings towards me (him even attacking me at a 2009 TNA PPV - Against All Odds).  So, Sonny sheds light as to why that might be on this show.

The 2nd half of the show I review the April 3rd 1993 Pro Wrestling This Week broadcast, which originally aired on 1440 AM WNYG in Babylon NY.  On that show, Donny Laible interviews Jacques Rougeau (The Mountie), there are some classic callers, commercials and more.   The evening Pro Wrestling Spotlight show featured Dave Meltzer to preview WrestleMania 9 in Las Vegas, but the show's tape was blank - so it is NOT reviewed here.

Here is episode 69 of John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast.

A special episode featuring Broadway Sonny Blaze. Sonny was a huge part of the first year on the Pro Wrestling Spotlight, appearing almost every week on the show, which was broadcast in 1989 on WNYG AM in Babylon NY.    He is the person who introduced me to Mick Foley bringing him to the show in September of that year.     Sonny's early show appearances with The Power Twins are hilarious, as is his interview with JACK THE GIANT STALKER (who's origin is finally answered here after over 30 years)!   

We feature lots of early clips that Blaze hears for the first time since 1989-1990, including segments with Paul E. Dangerously and some callers.     

Donny Laible also joins us for a special tribute to Broadway! A heartwarming reunion over 30 years in the making!

A very lively show with callers, commercials and much more!

Here is Episode 66 of John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast, covering the original broadcasts of March 13th, 1993, which aired on 1440 AM WNYG in Babylon, NY and on WEVD AM in NYC.

The podcast focuses on the 200th show of Pro Wrestling Spotlight, and we cover the 30th anniversary of the murder of Canadian wrestler Dino Bravo.   We bring on Donny Laible to discuss the murder, and his 2023 tribute of Bravo.

Other guests from those March 13th, 1993 show include Pro Wrestling Torch publisher and editor Wade Keller, and Wrestling Flyer Newsletter Editor John Clark.  We broadcast through the "blizzard of 1993" that day, and the storm prohibits us from traveling to NY that night, so we wind up doing our 200th show from my kitchen!

Here is Episode 65 of John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight Podcast, covering the original broadcast of March 6th, 1993, which aired on WEVD AM in NYC.

This is one of my favorite episodes EVER!   Special guest this podcast is KONNAN, who reviews the episode from 30 years ago with us.  

Other guests on that March 6th, 1993 show include TERRY FUNK, and a surprise call in from THE HONKY TONK MAN!    Honky gets blasted by Funk in (a SHOOT!) in a wild ending of the show.   It is remarkable radio.   

There was no coverage of the PWTW show from the morning of the 6th - but you can listen to the entire episode if your a patron.
