ERN Presents W.A.R.-Wrestling Authority Radio W/ Superstar Bill Dundee

Published: Nov. 22, 2019, 1 a.m.

b'The history of professional wrestling is marked by the various territories that ran throughout the country. Of those territories, one of the most famous, which housed many of the biggest names in our industry was the Continental Wrestling Association, commonly referred to as the Memphis territory, which was its base.\\n\\n\\n\\tThe area was headlined, of course, by Jerry "The King" Lawler. Lawler, however, could not have done it without a supporting group of wrestlers who at various times either teamed with or turned on him. One of those very well known names is who we are honored to have as our special guest tonight, Superstar Bill Dundee.\\n\\n\\n\\tBorn in Angus, Scotland, Bill and his family moved to Australia while he was small. At 16 he fulfilled what is considered the standard childhood dream at the time and joined the circus. He started his wrestling career in 1962, but amazingly did not come to the US until 1974. Lance Russell always described the 5\'7" Dundee as being "built like a fireplug". Despite not being a classically tall wrestler, he was always one of the draws of the territory.\\n\\n\\n\\tWe will be joined by our good friend Kenny Bolin, and we will be reaching out to others who worked with Bill over the years. We know Bill has a ton of great stories and we can\'t wait to have him share them with you.'
