Now for a moment of levity… Some years ago, the WGN Morning Show hosted a segment promoting the upcoming weekend festivities at a local bar. Having previously met, and worked with several staff members of the show, Michael received the call asking if he’d be interested in joining the segment. The plan was to set up a “Ring” in the studio, and show a “sample” of what fans would see at the actual event. The very entertaining action can be VIEWED HERE. The entire segment, including the wording in the introductions, was orchestrated by the owners of the Enterprise — the “wrestlers” themselves. These guys were having a ton of fun just making a living. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly, LOL, no one was hurt in the filming of the segment…
