Episode 14: The Bobby Shane Plane Crash & Dick Slater Bar Fight!
Back with another edition of The Wrestling Stoop, as Bob shares his memories of his time spent with Dick Slater throughout the 1970s and everything that led to the "Bar Fight" of September 1979 between the two men. We will dissect the truths vs. the stories that have been put out there from wrestlers who weren't even there when it happened! Then, we go back to February 20th, 1975 and discuss the plane crash that killed Bobby Shane. Also involved in that crash were pilot Buddy Colt, Austin Idol, and legendary manager Gary Hart. Bob recounts his first hand perspective of being at the Bay and aiding the men involved. Bob shares a very unique version of the story from his perspective... what he saw, what he heard, and opens a new view into the rescue story itself. An episode you won't want to miss!
A former National AAU Champion and U.S. Olympian, Bob doesn’t hold back and opens up about his time in the world of Professional Wrestling.
