Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back with a special show on Dick Beyer. Joining us is many time Wrestling Observer Award winner and former WCW and TNA announcer Mike Tenay.
We talk a ton about all the great memories of Dick as The Destroyer, as well as his historical importance to the wrestling business. We go over how Dick became Mike’s favorite wrestler as a child and how they became great friends later in life.
We discuss the cultural impact of Beyer’s matches with Rikidozan, including where he was when Rikidozan was murdered. Plus, Dave and Mike trade a ton more stories and memories.
Garrett hosts The Fight Game Podcast with John LaRocca, We're Live, Pal with Andrew Zarian, the weekly Friday edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, and the once-a-month post-UFC Saturday version of Wrestling Observer Radio. Garrett also runs the Fight Game Media Network and the BSPN Network. In his day job, he's a co-founder of the social media network for neighbors, Nextdoor.
