Because Race has an artificial hip as well as neck and back problems, he no longer wrestles. He will referee the WLW title match between Valentine and Griz. It's the only thing I've ever done in life. As Handsome Harley Race, he held the National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight title eight times from 1973 and '84, and gained a large portion of his popularity working between America and Japan. When health problems forced Race out of the ring, he grew bored and wanted to get involved in promotional work and teaching young wrestlers the sport.
Race has an open tryout several times a year.
One or two could make WLW, and some leave to work other small groups all over the country. I hope we can keep sending guys to them. I'll teach them to wrestle, that's for sure.
