Cox Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I wonder if Bob Ryder had anything to do with ECW's talks of going into the Gulf Coast/Baton Rouge area. Bob started working with ECW at the September 1995 ECW show, which I know because I was lucky enough to watch his Prodigy chat with Tod Gordon and Paul Heyman in person, along with Dave Prazak, Joel Gertner, and a few other people nobody on here would know. In fact, I think that's when Joel Gertner first approached Paul about working for him as ECW's Spanish ring announcer for the Rey Mysterio/Psicosis matches, as he could speak Spanish and do the intros properly. But anyway, with Bob already working with Paul and ECW doing the live chats from the ECW Arena at this point, and the shows taking place in Baton Rouge, I have to think Bob was trying to set up something there.

ChuckScumm Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ryder had been pretty much the guy to get them on Fox 44 in BR, & constant hyping them up & having their wrestlers on his brief radio show on the Score 1210 AM, I can honestly say he had a great deal in bringing ECW to Louisiana.
