Sputnik Monroe

[Johnny Sorrow]

Over at DVDVR there's a thread about who did the most good/ bad in wrestling and Tom mentioned Sputnik Monroe as doing the most good. It reminded me of the wonderful NPR story about him that I heard when they reran it after he passed on a few years back. I posted it there, but I figured folks here would be interested as well.

Still a great article. Thanks for posting it.

 

Here's a complementary article to the NPR piece that appeared in Lurch Magazine which specifies Sputnik's strategies a little more, as well as tells some stories about his impact:
