Chicago's Very Own TV Professional Wrestling Promoter Bob Luce who passed away on February 8th, 2007. Bob was outrageous and way ahead of his time! Bob could sell a used car to a used car salesman. Bob loved Professional Wrestling and it showed every time he talked.
"Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan once said Bob could make coffee nervous!
He was friends with Dick The Bruiser, Yukon Moose Cholak,< and Wilbur Snyder. In one instance AWA World Heavyweight Champion Verne Gagne hollered at Bob and Bob was upset and shaking. That didn't last because The World's Most Dangerous Wrestler Dick The Bruiser heard and told Gagne to never treat him like that or he would find out why!
Sharon Lass, Bobs wife wrestled professionally and a star herself.
He created the Chicago Wrestling Hall of Fame at the Chicago International Amphitheatre Mezzanine Level Southwest Corner. Bob brought all the ring greats on his show on WSNS TV Channel 44. Serious at times and bringing humor into it as well. Manager Mark Manson who managed The Graduates,with his Book of Knowledge. Manson had a VooDoo Cane,with Pepper Gomez on the set. Bob and Manson lost their composure and broke out laughing.
At Classic Professional Wrestling we remember Chicago's Very Own TV Professional Wrestling Promoter Bob Luce!
