Wrestling Memories: Snowballs, Clown Suits, and Old School Rivalries
Manage episode 476355547 series 3403010
Wrestling history comes alive as SICW Fan Fest 3 takes center stage in this captivating conversation with special guest Nick Rittenhouse, a 35-year veteran promoter from St. Louis. Joining WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and host Mac Davis, Nick unveils exciting details about this year's expanded two-day celebration of wrestling heritage on May 16-17 at the Airport Hilton Hotel in St. Louis.
The spotlight shines brightest on Teddy Long himself, who'll receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award during the weekend's festivities. This honor comes alongside the induction of wrestling legends Ox Baker, Greg Valentine, Crusher Blackwell, Butch Reed, and Ivan Koloff into the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame. The star-studded lineup of attendees features iconic names like Kevin Von Erich (who Nick reveals was born just across the river in Belleville, Illinois), Nikita Koloff, Buff Bagwell, and Missy Hyatt.
Nick treats listeners to a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from 1987 when Mr. Fuji and Kim Duk abandoned their luggage in the street to chase down local kids who pelted them with rock-filled snowballs. This glimpse into wrestling's colorful past perfectly sets the stage for what Fan Fest promises – authentic old-school wrestling that, as Nick puts it, "you don't get anywhere hardly anymore."
The episode wraps with Teddy answering fan questions, sharing stories about cherished wrestling memorabilia, and participating in a name association game that reveals personal connections with wrestling personalities from Tajiri to Paul Heyman. Wrestling fans won't want to miss this fascinating preview of what promises to be the must-attend event of the year for lovers of wrestling tradition and history.
