The Wrestling Stoop w/Bob Roop6 Des 2023

Episode 06: Talking Roddy Piper, Peter Maivia, And Bob's Feud With Kevin Sullivan Begins! (San Francisco Pt. 2)

This week on The Wrestling Stoop, Bob Roop & Ray Russell return for Part 2 of their discussion of Bob's time in the San Francisco territory back in 1977. We look at Bob's booking raising the gates by over 75%, plus we talk the original Ukelele angle involving Dean Ho & Alexis Smirnoff that would be copied by Superstar Graham & Peter Maivia in the WWWF just a few months later! Bob also shares stories and memories of Roddy Piper, Bob Orton Jr., wrestling Peter Maivia, and Jimmy Golden setting Knoxville on fire... Literally! Then from there, we begin to crack open the 6 month long feud between Kevin Sullivan vs. Bob Roop that nearly tripled the gates at the Cow Palace! All of that, and more! So sit back, and enjoy!
