S1 Ep4: Episode 4 - Gary Michael Cappetta and Broadway Sonny Blaze

John Arezzi's Pro Wrestling Spotlight

Welcome to episode 4 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind - where we look back at classic shows from the archives of John Arezzi, going back to the very early days of pro wrestling talk on the radio. On this episode - we will review show #4 show which aired on 1440 WNYG in Babylon, NY on April 30th, 1989.

The 4th show on WNYG in 1989 features the very first on air appearances by both Gary Michael Cappetta (who is the in studio guest) and Al "Broadway Sonny Blaze" Schaefer, who later became co-host of the show. Both Gary and Al review the show with us.

NOTE: As was the case in the history of PWS - technical difficulties play a part in some parts of the show from 35 years ago, and it is the case for parts of this episode of PWS Review. Gary had a very bad internet connection - and for some reason didn't hear or respond to many of the questions in the conversation. Marsh did the best he could editing it - but Gary leaves abruptly and we go right into the segment with Broadway Sonny Blaze

This episode also includes the first appearances by Larry Zbyszko and Johnny Valiant, in addition to the first commercials from L&S Comix. David from the Power Twins is in the studio and John and David celebrate their victory that took place in Amityville High School the previous Friday in John's "managerial debut".

And a suprise appearance by Sol Horenstein at the end of the show

Lots to digest here on this show

There are classic phone calls & commercials as well!
