Crossbody of Work Episode 164: Dr. Death Steve Williams

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

Dr. Death Steve Williams was a tremendous wrestler through the 1980s and 1990s. He was a standout in All Japan Pro Wrestling, and we watch one of his best matches against Kenta Kobashi. He also had stints in the territories, WWF, WCW, and more, so we get matches with Terry Gordy, Bam Bam Bigelow, and other big names of the era. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about: 

• High school logos
• 80s fitness trainers
• Big Daddys
• Failing promotions
• Wrestler’s best individual years

And a lot more.
