We've just learned that Bernhard Krieger passed away in Greenville SC on Christmas day, December 25, 2023. He was 98 years old. Word came to us from Mid-Atlantic Gateway contributor Don Holbrook who came across his obituary online.
Known as Bill Krieger on WFBC (now WYFF) channel 4 during his on-air days, he briefly hosted "live" professional wrestling in 1961 at the station. He was the sports director for the station at that time.
Back in 2005, Krieger was extremely helpful to me when I spoke to him about the history of wrestling at WFBC.
