Has anyone checked out Ron Fuller's podcast yet? I'd highly recommend it if you're interested in learning about the Fuller/Welch family, and their extensive history in pro wrestling. Ron Fuller is an amazing storyteller. I mean really amazing. He gets so into it at times, it's almost like being in a match with him, and it's best not to interrupt his rhythm and flow. A lot of the stories he tells too are not wrestling stories, they're family stories, and it's of a very different time in the world, where men were very different in how they treated their kids, and others. He talks about his grandfather Roy Welch a lot, and his father Buddy Fuller a lot. Just a very unique podcast. Now on the flip side, Ron Fuller has a lot of ego and pride about him, no shortage of either for sure. He also suddenly slips into kayfabe mode at random times, especially when talking about matches, like they were real, and he also has this thing some wrestlers have where they'll tell a story, and insert someone into the "starring" role of it, and it's a story I've heard before, with someone else in the "starring" role. Why do wrestlers do that??
