[1990-06-16-USWA-Championship Sports] Joe Pedicino Hotline Commercial

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Finally, Joe Pedicino says, it's the 900 number wrestling fans can take a part in.

[PeteF3]

The Wrestling Fan's Hotline is YOUR hotline.

How many hotlines were going on at this time. I can only imagine how shitty the Sunday "Voices of the Fans" was.

[Kevin Ridge]

There was a lot of wrestling hotlines back in 1990. Two dollars a minute is a lot. People must have gone broke.

[Cox]

Not too long before Pedicino winds up running this territory, he's out there shilling his wrestling hotline.

[garretta]

Six bucks a call, seven days a week.......boy, Joe was an optimistic sucker, wasn't he?

 

I wonder who actually cooperated with this (besides the USWA, of course). Something tells me you didn't hear too much about either the WWF or WCW, who of course had their own hotlines to worry about.

[drew wardlaw]

Didn't Joe go broke in some kind of pre-internet Nigerian prince scheme? Was it the 900 number money he lost? I'd love to hear from someone who knows what all the different days consisted of exactly. Like a breakdown of Wrestling Counterpoint etc.

‘It’s finally here, the 900 hotline you can take part in!’ A different wrestler (and Bill Apter!) every night with all the news on what’s happening in the world of wrestling. The Wrestling Fan’s Hotline where you get to talk to the wrestler!

 

Out of the several hotlines that have already been advertised on the Yearbook I would’ve been more likely to call this one than any of the others. They must have made a killing at $2 a minute and updating this one daily.
