On today's program we look back at the top ten news stories of the St. Louis Wrestling Scene for the year 2022. To make the list, the story should involve a figure from or strongly connected to downstate Illinois or Missouri, the story took place in downstate Illinois or Missouri, or the story has a direct effect on the downstate Illinois or Missouri scene. We have decided as Youtube would flag several things in the video due to WWE (ignoring fair use) to post this on Rumble and Odysee only as they aren't subject to the same content ID crap so we can present this program the way we need to. Video, audio & images used in this program are in accordance with the guidelines set forth under the Fair Use provisions from Title 17, Section 107 of US Copyright Law.
