Hangin' Out with Bob ('All Star Wrestling' memories with Wayne and Al Damerow)

How popular was professional wrestling in the 1960s and 1970s? In the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, it was very popular.

Every Saturday evening, many people had their TV sets tuned in to All Star Wrestling, which featured professional wrestlers from the American Wrestling Association (AWA). At one point, All Star Wrestling was the second-highest rated program in the Twin Cities, behind only 60 Minutes. Three of those loyal wrestling viewers included podcast host Bob Edholm and his two guests, brothers Wayne and Al Damerow.

In this podcast, Bob, Wayne, and Al form a three-man tag team to share their thoughts and memories as they look back on the “good old days” of watching the professional wrestlers who made All Star Wrestling “must-see TV” in the 1960s and 1970s.
