The JJ Dillon Show show

Summary: This week's show covers JJ's introduction to pro wrestling beginning as a fan watching Capitol Wrestling on TV.

A snowstorm changed the course of JJ's career, opening the gates for a decades-long run as a ref, wrestler, manager, and front office executive. JJ shares insightful stories on his interactions with the likes of The Zebra Kid, The Great Malenko, Vince McMahon Sr., Bruno Sammartino, and many others who were instrumental in the early part of his career.
