June 11, 2025 TGBL2022

Hello, wrestling fans! It’s time for Episode #174 of Shut Up and Wrestle, with Brian R. Solomon!

This week, Brian welcomes Paige “Von Hess” Sutherland and Bob Smith to the show to look back on the classic NWF territory of the early 1970s!

Pedro Martinez and Johnny Powers embodied this vintage Buffalo/Cleveland territory that’s rarely discussed today. It’s remembered well by Paige, whose father Kurt Von Hess wrestled there, as well as by wrestling magazine legend and podcaster Bob Smith, who got hooked on wrestling thanks to the NWF back in the day.

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