Author Evan Ginzburg has seemingly done everything in wrestling except take a bump.
In part two of our interview on today’s Wrestling Observer Live, Ginzburg talks about his favorite matches, the changes he witnessed first hand as WWF went national in 1984-85, memories of Jimmy Snuka’s leap from the top of the steel cage, and what it was like when fans cheered so loudly that MSG shook.
He also gets serious as he feels that many wrestlers, his close friends, didn’t make what they deserved and far less than you probably think — especially when you consider the New York territory was the most lucrative in the country.
It wouldn’t be an old school interview without a funny Iron Sheik story.
Be sure to check out part one of our interview last week and get his new book ‘Wrestling Rings, Blackboards and Movie Sets‘ out now.
This is great conversation that covers decades of wrestling from the ridiculous to the sublime. Definitely check it out.
