DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: From the pages of the WON

This week on the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show, I go into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter archives for some obituaries written by Dave Meltzer.

On the docket, the passing of Mid-South and AWA star D.J. Peterson, the in-ring death of rising lucha libre star Oro, southern journeyman Ray Candy, and Joey Marella, WWF referee and son of Gorilla Monsoon, including what “Downtown” Bruno Lauer had to say about it in his book as he was in the car that Marella was killed in.

In the case of Oro, we might have lost a huge future star.

These four might weren’t the biggest names in wrestling history, but their stories are interesting.
