Bill Mercer wasn't just a wrestling announcer. He was a legend in Texas, as he covered a number of different sports.
Wrestling fans, though, remember him as the voice of World Class Championship Wrestling, which went into national syndication, arriving in the 518 in 1984. Mercer passed away over the weekend at 99, a long, successful life lived. Mercer also helped launch the sports journalism program at the University of North Texas.
In his memory, we present a World Class show from 1983.
Rest in peace, Bill.
