DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The death of Louie Spicolli
On this episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, it’s another edition of From the Pages of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter discussing the death of Louie Spicolli.
Spicolli wrestled for WWF, WCW, AAA, and ECW, among others. At the time it happened, his death was a major story related to the rampant drug deaths in pro wrestling. It’s a story that’s largely been forgotten over time but is worth revisiting to see the contrast in that era versus now.
