DAMMIT BOBBY PRO

There were so many former Crockett stars there from The Mulkeys to George South to Rocky King. (My Mom used to ask me when I was living at home if I had any idea how much I had spent on 'wrestling books.' I tried to add up how much once and realized I kept Bill Apter employed for a long time with all the money I spent.) I met Tracy Smothers, who I felt always felt was one of the more underrated guys in the business, and Tully Blanchard, who still can give a great interview to this day.

I met Bill Apter who had been the face of the Pro Wrestling Illustrated family of Magazines. When I got inside, Harley was still on my mind, but I was there to have fun, to meet wrestlers and personalities, and enjoy myself. After seeing so many matches with the King and 'Handsome' Harley, it was very heartbreaking to see this once great champion having trouble walking, an action we do every day and so often take for granted. He was going very slow and seemed to have trouble getting around. While I was waiting, I spotted Harley Race getting out of his vehicle and coming inside the building. From Wrestling Action figures (No, they aren't dolls like my wife calls them.) to Books to posters to other items, fans were prepared to get them signed. Many people had different items which they were bringing to be autographed. Folks were buzzing about so many things including Ricky Morton's arrest, Jeff Hardy possibly appearing, and the question-and-answer session Terry Funk and Harley Race had given for a group of fans the previous evening. Arriving at the Coliseum at 8:30 and waiting in line to get into the building, I was able to speak and visit with other fans. 'On a cold November Saturday, my friend Craig and I headed out to Spartanburg, South Carolina for Tony Hunter's Tribute to Starrcade: Fanfest. David Wills who you see in the video wrote this article explaining what exactly happen on that day.
