STR: "Michigan Wrestles The 90's" w/ Dave Drason
Episode 11
Monday, 3 May, 2021

This weeks episode, we talk with PWHOF'er Dave Drason, who managed the likes of The Sheik, "Sweet Daddy" Malcolm Monroe and "The Motor City Hitmen" Al Snow and Mickey Doyle. We start out with a brief history of Dave's journey from a fan to a photographer to wrestling manager. As the 90's decade came upon Drason, he was ending his time actively ringside yet discuss the changes that were afoot as the era of valets began to be used and the wrestlers and future of the business began taking shape to pass on the knowledge to the talent for years to come. From the number of promotions dwindling down to the State of Michigan loosening its grip on Professional Wrestling, we take a look back through the eyes of Drason as he leaves the bright lights of ringside to once again sitting back amongst those entertained by the weekend warrior of the Michigan Independent Scene.
