This week, we have a very special guest for the whole two hours.  We're very pleased to welcome Candian pro wrestler & wrestling historian "Mr. Beefy Goodness" Vance Nevada. 

After being trained by Ernest Rheault in River City Wrestling at the tender age of 17, Nevada had a rough go of it. He was a small fish in a big man's game.

Soon he hit his stride in tag matches with Robby Royce, and by 1994 The Wild Ones were successes in the Manitoba area.

Nevada decided to strike out on his own, and began a heated feud with Royce, which was played out over the airwaves of RCW's weekly TV program and culminated in a ladder match. After the match, Nevada was out of action for two month with injuries.

When he returned to action, he tagged with Bugsy Sluggliano as Models Inc. Their feud with Robby Royce and Andy Anderson even carried over into the Carolinas and Kentucky.

Next up for Nevada was the Canadian Junior Heavyweight title, which he has held six times between 1995 and 1998. He has feud with Spice Richards, Andy Anderson, Alex Rain, Todd Myers and many more over the belt.

A series of injuries forced him to retire in early 1999.

Vance is also the author of "Wrestling In The Canadian West"...a comprehensive and exhaustive history of professional wrestling in Western Canada. 

A brilliant speaker and one of the greatest minds in the wrestling business, "Pure Class" is pleased to welcome Vance Nevada to the show tonight!  This is one show you WON'T want to miss!
