The Late……… Larry Winters
“Mad Dog” DC Drake
Johnny HotBody
Tony “The Hitman” Stetson
Joel Goodhart
Then a buzz started around this banner and the TWA, which got the promoter in Joel thinking, why not do one official last TWA Show, let us do “ONE and DONE”!!!
Let us go out properly and have a celebration of what we did 32 years ago, that people still talk, discuss, and now watch matches on YouTube!
So, he started trying to persuade Bay Ragni to help him pull this off, and after three weeks of persistent nagging, he finally convinced him to join forces with him to make this happen!!!
So, after 4 months of plotting, planning, and coordinating we are ready to announce!!
