Bill Mercer is the original announcer for the Texas Ranger. He also called games for the original Dallas Texans in the old AFL which eventually became the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Dallas Cowboys, including the Cowboy's first Super Bowl.  Bill shares behind-the-scenes stories from the earliest days of the Texas sports world. You'll hear Bill talk about what it was like to announce the historic Cowboys/Packers "Ice Bowl" in 1967 in Green Bay where it was 30 below zero. It was so cold the inside of the glass in the press box was iced over and they couldn't see the field. You'll love hearing Bill recount one of the greatest football games of all time as he shares what he did to not lose focus on the game. Bill even announced wrestling matches at the historic Dallas Sportatorium. He talks about how he was hired to announce the matches on KRLD TV even though he had no experience with wrestling. Bill is very honest and transparent about how nervous he was to take on this gig. It eventually became a big part of his life. One of the biggest events in Bill's life happened at 12 Noon on Nov. 22nd in 1963. He was doing the local "Noon News" when President Kennedy was shot and killed. Bill was assigned to go to Dallas police station to do one of the nation's very first live broadcasts. He was there as Lee Harvey Oswald was brought into the station. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the police decided to do a press conference with Lee Harvey Oswald. It was here that Oswald heard for the very first time, from Bill Mercer, that he was being charged with the murder of the President of the United States. You'll even hear Bill Mercer discuss his insight on the theories that Oswald didn't act alone. He shared an incredible recounting of Oswald's actions following the assassination of Kennedy. From Oklahoma to Okinawa: 18K Miles on the LCI(G) 439: A Signalman's WWII Naval Memoir is a book Bill Mercer just released that was a fulfillment of a promise he made to his shipmates who wanted him to write about their experience in Okinawa Japan from 1943 to 1947.

Narrated by Bill Mercer. It seemed they were forever the bridesmaid. They were continually coming up short in the championship games. That was until 1972 and now you can relive the magic of a group that became known as “America's Team”. In Super Bowl VI, the Cowboys crushed the Dolphins 24-3, in which they rushed for a record 252 yards and their defense limited the Dolphins to a low of 185 yards while not permitting a touchdown for the first time in Super Bowl history. Dallas converted Chuck Howley's recovery of Larry Csonka's first fumble of the season into a 3-0 advantage and led at half time 10-3. After Dallas received the second-half kickoff, Duane Thomas led a 71-yard march in eight plays for a 17-3 margin. Howley intercepted Bob Griese's pass at the 50 and returned it to the Miami 9 early in the fourth period, and three plays later Roger Staubach passed 7 yards to Mike Ditka for the final touchdown. Thomas rushed for 95 yards and Walt Garrison gained 74. Staubach, voted the game's most valuable player, completed 12 of 19 passes for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns.

February 11, 1984 The boys review the episode of WCCW where Bill Mercer announces the passing of David Von Erich at the very end of the show, preceded by a full wrestling card. The card is reviewed first and then the announcement is discussed. It is a controversial topic, with three different opinions offered on how it was handled. Kelly's mic unfortunately died at the start of the show, so his take was recorded solo at a later date. (and apologies for the quality of his audio) The boys will provide a thorough examination of the impact of David's death and his wrestling legacy in three weeks when they review the March 3 tribute episode

January 14, 1984 An extremely hot beginning to a feud highlights an otherwise blah offering from WCCW this week, as the boys finally welcome in 1984... -Bill Mercer scolds the Birds for tainting Santa Claus to a generation of Texas children -Nice to see the pointless 10-minute draw is still a thing -Adams vs Garvin is still going strong -And Kerry vs the Missing Link in a crazy main event that kickstarts a new war in Dallas!

September 10, 1983 The boys are finally back in the Sportatorium, and they review a rather mundane WCCW show. Yet, one not without its highlights... -Bill Mercer will now be carded for smokes and booze -JOHN Mantell with a MAN-sized victory -Kevin pays a young fan a visit, but were his motives pure? -The first chapter in the Adams vs Garvin rivalry -And Kerry vs Hayes in the main event; a matchup more overdone than Kevin vs Bill Irwin

This week, Chris and Joey discuss how the finish of Money in the Bank killed the rest of the show, look ahead to AEW's "Double or Nothing" weekend, and look back at an awkward moment for Bill Mercer in their #RetroWorldClass segment!
