We are proud to be able to add another name to our official roster of on air talent for Jim Crockett Promotions.
WFBC Greenville TV personality Bob Poole was the first host of "Championship Wrestling" that was taped at the studios of WFBC and aired exclusively on that channel in the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market in the early 1960s. The program debuted on WFBC-4 on Saturday, March 26, 1960.
WFBC's sports director Bill Krieger followed Poole as host of "Championship Wrestling" in February of 1961.
Poole had various roles at the station, also prominently hosting a program called "Bob Poole's Gospel Favorites" on Sunday mornings on channel 4.
Thanks to Carroll Hall at the All-Star Championship Wrestling website for this information.
