CAC Radio - Episode #92

Welcome to the latest edition of CAC Radio. 


On this episode, David welcomes James Beard, a legendary World Class Championship Wrestling official and previous CAC honoree, being the first recipient of the club's Charlie Smith Referee Award back in 2016. He is a 40+ year pro wrestling veteran who has done everything in this business. James has been in the ring with the biggest personalities in the sport, worked all over the world, shared his knowledge as a respected trainer, and published his autobiography (with the sequel on the way)! Recently he played a referee in the recent film "The Iron Claw", a cool experience that we discuss along with many more career highlights.


In addition, David welcomes CAC Executive Board Member and Benevolent Director Darla Staggs to the show. We look back at the recent 59th CAC Reunion, talk about her role with the Benevolent Fund, how the CAC continues to help those in need, and start looking ahead to the big 60th anniversary celebration next August in Las Vegas.


We hope you enjoy the podcast!
