Welcome back John
------ QUOTE END ------
To Mike DuPree and Sonny Rogers--hey, thanks a bunch, guys! By the way, Sonny, I remember ring announcing you & Jonnie Stewart vs. the Sheepherders, at a Gary Juster NWA card at the Hammond Civic Center (hey, "Beach Boy" Sonny, that was "fun, fun, fun"!).
In 1987, I also remember that Brad Davis' Central Illinois Wrestling ran a card at the Pheasant Run Resort in suburban St. Charles, Illinois (where they have home shows and dinner theater plays).
A year later, I also talked about Windy City Wrestling on the radio, and did interviews with then-Windy City boys Steve Regal and Paul "E. Dangerously" Heyman (who also recorded promos hyping me and my radio stations).
Sonny, I read on another thread that you & Sam DeCero formed Windy City Wrestling, after DeCero and Davis had a bitter money dispute (after DeCero did booking for C.I.W.--Sam did tell me that he always wanted to do booking).
Sam DeCero was a good guy to me, but he warned me a couple of times about Brad Davis, and so did a couple of other people from Windy City. At the time, I just thought that different promoters and promotions not getting along was a given, and I just simply did my best to spread the word, via my media gigs, about this thing called pro wrestling that I loved as a whole.
