This is Hannibal from World Class Pro Wrestling, along with the owner of world class pro wrestling, Jerry the Boss.

And the former owner of NWA before it was sold to really Corrigan Bruce Stark.

So this is a very special podcast today to have him on.

How are you both doing?

I'm great, man.

Really looking forward to this interview tonight.

Bruce, I can't thank you enough for taking the time out of your day to be with us this week.

So thank you very much.

Jerry, Hannibal, my pleasure to be here. I week so thank you very much uh jerry hannibal my pleasure to be here i want to thank you guys for inviting me i'll tell you that um since i stepped away from wrestling in about uh 2017 i've given very few interviews so this is like maybe the first or second one that I've given. Yeah, we really appreciate it. I noticed that too. You know, and whenever I had originally came up with the idea, I told Hannibal and he was all for it. And I was like, man, that would, you know, that would be a great interview. It's not often that you get to sit down with somebody that owned, you know,

such a prestigious company as the NWA with so much wrestling history.

Oh.

I can't even wait to get into this.

So why don't you start off?

Why don't you tell us how you got into wrestling in the first place?

Okay.

Well, I actually started working at the wrestling matches when I was about 12 years old, to be, you know, to be honest.

When I was in the sixth grade, my dad was the ring announcer for championship wrestling from Florida back in the old territory days.

And so I sold Coke at the Armory, at the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory. I, I, in the

sixth grade, I started selling Cokes. And so, man, I got to see all the great, you know, all

the greatest wrestlers in the world passed through Florida. I mean, because of the great weather and whatnot.

So I started out, you know, about age 12, and I remember that I would finish selling my coax,

like right before the main event.
