On this week’s episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross, the Voice of Wrestling, and host Conrad Thompson take listeners ringside for two classic Brisco family wrestling showcases, highlighting the technical mastery and territorial-era storytelling that defined professional wrestling at its peak.
One featured bout takes us back to October 6, 1973, when Danny Hodge defended the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship against Jerry Brisco at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Documented as part of Championship Wrestling From Florida, the match showcases Hodge’s dominance as champion against a rising Jerry Brisco, already making waves alongside his brother Jack Brisco in the territory.
With JR’s expert commentary and historical insight, this episode is a masterclass in old-school wrestling storytelling on Grilling JR.
