À propos de ce contenu audio

 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 REWIND” podcast! Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind 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 plus 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.2024 Alexander Media Services, LLC Sports de combat et self-defense

    • Vince McMahon Press Conference on Steroid Scandals from July 1991

      Vince McMahon Press Conference on Steroid Scandals from July 1991
      Aug 5 2025
      Welcome to Episode 26 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight REWIND. Today's episode features an original uncut episode of the historic talk show, hosted by John Arezzi. On this episode we share the July 21st, 1991 broadcast of Pro Wrestling Spotlight, which aired on 1240 AM in West Babylon New York. On this episode we cover the Press Conference held on July 19th, 1991 at NYC's Plaza Hotel, held by Vince McMahon and WWF PR Director Steve Planamenta - to address the steroid scandals exploding at that time. Dr. George Zaharion (WWF Ringside Doctor in PA) was convicted by a jury for illegal distribution of Steroids, and McMahon needed to put water on that fire. The WWF attempted to control the media at that time and did not invite the Wrestling Press to attend (especially yours truly). I was able to get in using an alias, and confronted McMahon about it. All captured on tape. Later on the show - we featured reporter Alex Marvez of the Miami Herald to discuss the turmoil and the scandals. Also we promote Weekend of Champions, which became the largest wrestling fans convention of that era, with the convention featuring Ric Flair (his FIRST signing ever), Buddy Rogers, Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thesz, Billy Graham, Fabulous Moolah and so many more!
