On Episode 191, we are joined by William Harding who told us a truly fantastic story. In 1981, a young man showed up in Frankfurt, Kentucky to try and escape the dreaded Sugar Hold of Bop Roop. If he could, he would win $1,000. What you will hear on this Episode is a true David vs Goliath story in more ways than one because the story doesn’t end with Bill breaking the hold; in many ways it only began. In an hour long interview, Bill tells this incredible story, one of the last remaining urban myths from the good old days. It is an interview any longtime wrestling fan will want to check out.
