On the local AM radio station KFAB they talked today about the local Wrestlers from the late 60's to early 70's and one of them was Bob Orton who I think is Randy Orton's Father if I am not mistaken. Also Bobby the Brain Heenan and some others from here went on to work for the WWF when they became big on cable.  Those were the days.
