Hello, wrestling fans! It’s time for Episode #228 of Shut Up and Wrestle, with Brian R. Solomon! It’s part eleven of the NWA Word Champions Series, with special guest Dan Murphy.

This week, we look back at the man often considered the epitome of the NWA World heavyweight champion, the greatest wrestler on God’s green earth, Handsome Harley Race.

Dan Murphy, this year’s winner of the Jim Melby Award from the Cauliflower Alley Club and a noted author and historian, joins Brian to get into the weeds on just what made Race so great, and why he stood out so much from the champions before and after.

From his great matches and classic opponents like Dusty Rhodes, Dory Funk Jr., Jerry Lawler, Superstar Billy Graham and so many more, to his classic promos and reputation in the business, it’s all here.

Shut Up and Wrestle is a production of the Arcadian Vanguard Podcast Network.
