Today at 4 PM we'll be joined by Dan Denton from Los Angeles. It was Denton who introduced me to Stampede Wrestling star Kerry Brown. Kerry became a close and valued friend, and his sudden passing at age 51 has saddened everyone from the world of wrestling who knew him.
Here is a link to the story I wrote about Kerry for Slam!Wrestling:

A demo reel of a 1994 match under my Rough House Rasslin' label, with Kerry putting his career on the line against rookie Paul Marcoux, and yes that is my voice on the play by play:

Thanks to Tony Condello, who trained Kerry and broke him into the business, for sharing his thoughts yesterday on Kerry's career and his influence on so many of the younger local hopefuls.
Also scheduled for today:
- At 4.20 a special look at the Alabama Jim Silver and co. Free Press op-ed where we read about how 6 gang members conned Jimbo and 3 other professors into going soft on North End crime;
- more on the NDP leadership race, as Steve Ashton garners a supporter from city hall, while Andrew Swan finds support from 3 cabinet ministers of dubious merit;
- another listener complaint, this time about how we handled last weeks' complaint- and yes, there is a pattern developing;
- and at 5.20 Jon Waldman will explain why the police want to bust up tailgate parties at this weekends' Banjo Bowl game.
RIP Kerry.
