Get ready for a special episode of When It Was Real that flips the spotlight from the titans of the ring to the often-overlooked heroes of the squared circle. This Wednesday at 7 PM Eastern, noted WWWF historian, author, actor, and manager Nikita Breznikov, alongside veteran wrestling author and podcaster Benny "The Playa" Scala, return with a heartfelt tribute to the underdogs of the golden era. While past episodes have celebrated legendary figures like Chief Jay Strongbow, Ernie Ladd, Spiros Arion, and Superstar Billy Graham, this time, it's all about the men who made them look larger than life. Tune in as Nikita and Benny shine a long-overdue light on the likes of Sylvano Sousa, The Golden Terror, Frankie Williams, and “The Continental Nobleman” Joe Turco. They may not have worn gold around their waists, but their contribution to the WWWF legacy is undeniable. With stories, insights, and vintage memories, Nikita and Benny will give these unsung warriors their rightful moment in the sun. Don’t miss this episode—it’s a love letter to the backbone of professional wrestling: the journeymen, the enhancement talents, the consummate professionals who made it real. #whenitwasreal #wwwf #wwf #goldeneraofwrestling
