Summary
On this REMIX edition of What Happened When, Tony and Conrad rewind all the way back to 1983 — the year Tony first broke into the wrestling business. Tony tells the story of how he got hired, his very first assignment working with “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, and the moment he learned the truth about professional wrestling. All that, plus plenty of laughs, on this special edition of What Happened When with Tony Schiavone!
