May 8th 1993 - Cactus Jack on his serious injury and the birth of AAA Lucha Libre in the USA

Welcome to Episode 234of 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 May 8th, 1993 broadcast of Pro Wrestling Spotlight, which aired on 1050 AM WEVD in New York City, NY. On this episode we are joined by Cactus Jack calling in from his home, where he is laid up from the injuries sustained when Vader power bombed him on the cement at a WCW TV taping. And in the studio, entertainment attorney Ron Skoler shares his experience attending TripleMania 1 in Mexico, where an angle with Jake the Snake Roberts was executed, and Ron barely escaped with his life, but not his shoes! This was the beginning of the association between me, Skoler, CD Enterprises and AAA to bring Lucha Libre in a big way to the USA in August of 93! A great episode!
