Don Kernodle Tribute Part Two

Don't miss the long awaited, eagerly anticipated PART TWO of the Mid-Atlantic Championship Podcast's tribute to the life and career of Don Kernodle. An incredibly detailed look at one of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling's iconic home-grown stars.

From their website:

In this second and final part, we continue the story of how a lifelong wrestling fan became one of the most respected workers in the business. We pick up at the legendary Road To Greensboro, and follow Don through his many adventures. Over three and a half hours, we cover everything. The match and the fallout of the legendary battle against Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood, his team with Sgt. Slaughter is forced to end, traveling to the World Wrestling Federation, successes in Toronto for Maple Leaf Wrestling, brief – but legendary – teams with Bob Orton Jr and Ivan Koloff, his creation of Nikita Koloff, semi-retirement, Atlantic Coast Wrestling, and so much more!
The first part of the special looked at how Kernodle broke into the business, his wrestling education, his big break as one of Sarge’s Privates with Jim Nelson, and all of the angles that led up to the famous night on March 12, 1983.

With tons of audio clips throughout, it is a tour de force!
