Rob Schamberger didn’t know much about pro wrestling when he caught his first televised mat show nearly 16 years ago.
He was 18 years old, doing laundry at his parents’ house, and his stepfather was flipping through channels.
When he stumbled upon a station where “Nature Boy” Ric Flair was cutting a promo, Schamberger immediately ceased what he was doing.
“My stepfather had been a fan back in the ’60s and ’70s here in Kansas City. He would go to Memorial Hall every Thursday night and watch guys like Bob Geigel, Bulldog Bob Brown, Harley Race and Sonny Myers,” Schamberger explains.
