John Pollock speaks with Paul Lazenby on the passing of Rick Bognar a.k.a. Big Titan.
Lazenby got to know Bognar in the early stages of his own pro wrestling career when the two were based out of Calgary, Alberta.
In this chat, Lazenby talks about his early impressions of Bognar, his big break with FMW, the raw skills he possessed, issues that prevented him from taking the next step in his career, how the “Razor Ramon” character is remembered when Bogner went to the WWF in 1996, and more.
