The Secret Wrestling History Of The WWE Superstar Who Left To Become Even Bigger | Historically Speaking
The story of the International Wrestling Alliance takes us to 1964 and 1965 this week as Johnny Powers goes from up-and-coming wrestler to main eventer to the hottest free agent in wrestling, much like someone else we know.
He also...refuses to do jobs.
All of this plus a secret Crockett-McMahon Wrestling War of the mid-60's, payola scams, and Johnny Powers in his own words on Historically Speaking!
