  • Summary

  • For decades, the multi-faceted John Arezzi has enjoyed a career like no other - and his Long Island, New York-based pro wrestling radio show, “The Pro Wrestling Spotlight,” was one of the nation’s most popular sources for hot wrestling news and live guests from April,1989 through January, 1995. Now, the beloved radio show continues the tradition with “John Arezzi’s Pro Wrestling Spotlight” podcast! The PWS podcast gives listeners the inside scoop about pro wrestling during one of its most controversial eras, reviews those shows in chronological order, with the guests, callers, and even the commercials that made the show what it was. Arezzi often brings on the guests that were featured 30 years ago on the original radio broadcasts, and throws a fresh coat of paint on the format by offering new commentary and expert analysis about classic wrestling that can’t be heard anywhere else.
