South America Memories

In late June and early July 1995, I had a great opportunity to spend 10 days in Caracas, Venezuela. My friends John Arezzi and Donny Laible booked me for several wrestling shows as a referee for the International

Wrestling All Stars or IWAS. On the tour was Matt Borne as a Evil Clown, Nikolai Volkoff, Hercules Hernandez, Konnan, Rey Misterio Jr.,

Sabu, Picosis, Sunny Beach, Sumo Death #1 & #2, The Warlord, and Samoan Savage #1 & #2 and Jesse Hernandez as the ring announcer. It was a fun trip to a beautiful city!
