Hey, It's Good to be Back Home Again...

 

It had been 16 years since I had watched wrestling in the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. It had been 14 years since an NWA card was held there at all. And it was 27 years ago that I saw my first live wrestling event in the basement of this wonderful old building. >>  STORY &  PHOTOS
