It is said that the pro wrestling industry is like one big family. This Encore Episode features my conversation with not only the former promoter and owner of Ohio Championship Wrestling (OCW) but a friend and a true brother, “Big Guns” Jeff Cannon. This past weekend marked five years since “Big Guns” called it a career in pro wrestling. This chat took place a few weeks prior to Jeff’s last match. We will talk about Jeff’s fandom, his start in the wrestling game, creating OCW and many other highlights from his 20+ year career. Join Jeff and me on this fun and genuine journey down memory lane!
