Geno’s (Almost) Career in Pro Wrestling


When there’s a pro wrestling story in the news, I often end up reminiscing with friends on Facebook or Twitter about my days as a ring announcer.  Yup, long before I was the guy introducing Kenny Chesney and Luke Bryan, I was introducing Triple H, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jimmy “Superly” Snuka, Matt and Jeff Hardy and George “The Animal” Steele.

In this edition of The Other 59 Minutes, I take you through my (almost) career in pro wrestling. 

– Who was the wrestler I always wanted to meet as a ring announcer, but never did.  Then years later, I got to meet him when he came by my radio station.

– Why I was doomed as an announcer.

– The story of my mother and I driving through the backwoods of New Jersey looking for a place without an address.

– My high school buddy who became a WWE superstar.

– The podcast that reignited my interest in wrestling (at least the old school stuff).
