News Man Weekly: Pro Wrestler Johnny Paradise; Aaron Hines talks Shelby football; West Park Shopping Center and more!

Episode 76 of News Man Weekly is absolutely loaded. Carl, Zac and Hayden kick things off with a Thanksgiving recap, football chatter and a fresh “What’s Carl Watching?” segment. Carl also zeroes in on one major local story: the long-decaying West Park Shopping Center and a potential path to finally tearing it down. 

Then, WMAN’s Aaron Hines joins the show to talk about life in local radio, the grind of balancing morning news with nightly sports and what Shelby needs to do to bring home a state title — capped off with a prediction for Friday’s game. 

After that, Chris Hahn stops by to share how he went from pro wrestler to trainer, stuntman, actor and brain tumor survivor… before tag-teaming into his in-ring alter ego, Johnny Paradise. He is gearing up for his return to the squared circle at Malabar Middle School on Dec. 6.
