Summary

Dave Penzer got his start in the wrestling business at Global Wrestling Alliance in South Florida first learning from Dean Malenko’s father, Larry, and Bob Roop. He talks about his job finding and driving enhancement talent to matches, and how that inadvertently landed him at WCW. Penzer shares stories about his WCW days traveling with Jericho, Arn Anderson, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and Chavo Guerrero Jr. including the big Arn Anderson and Eddie Guerrero fight over an apple pie, and the time Jericho stripped Dave Penzer of his clothes in a hotel bar & the footage ended up on the tabloid TV shows, Hard Copy & Inside Edition. He remembers what happened at a house show in Minnesota when Eric Bischoff overheard a conversation between Penzer and Jericho, and the night in Tupelo, Mississippi with Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sting, and Randy Savage and the failed music cue. He talks about Vince Russo’s detrimental impact on WCW, when Penzer knew the WCW ship was sinking, what that very last Nitro show was like for him, and the conversations he had with WWE after they bought WCW. Plus, he has a few tales about his initial TNA run, his return to Impact during the pandemic, and passing the TNA ring announcing mic to Jade Chung last December.
