Mid South Wrestling
My grandfather was Reisor Bowden. He did the ringside announcing at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport back in the day. Man he had some stories. He would go out to eat or for drinks with the wrestlers after the events.

Very cool. My only claim to fame was one of Tony Schiavone's sons was in my class in middle school when he was working for wcw.

Good to know. I liked Reisor. Ernie Ladd used to crack me up when he'd say "let me tell you something Reisor!!!" when Ladd was doing interviews with him.
Didn't your grandfather fall out of a chair he was sitting in when one of the wrestlers kicked the podium he was behind?
Those were the days

Legit cool story, but to be honest, I thought Reisor Bowden was the worst sports announcer in history.
Which made him perfect for Mid-South Wrestling.

Ha! Loved Reisor. I remember he would start introducing Ernie Ladd and before he could finish the big Cat would say "Shut up Reisor - the people out in TV land want to hear me not you".
And Jimmy Cornett would always tease him about his suits. "You must have been something before electricity Reisor"!

Was he a news anchor for a local Shreveport TV station? I ran into Buck Robley a few times at the Fairgrounds betting on horses.
