A WWF WRESTLING PROGRAM FROM A HERSHEYPARK ARENA HOUSE SHOW IN 1991!!

TODAY, I WAS ORGANIZING SOME OF MY COLLECTION WHEN I RAN ACROSS A WWF WRESTLING PROGRAM.  THE PROGRAM WAS FROM A HOUSE SHOW AT THE HERSHEYPARK ARENA! THE DATE WAS NOVEMBER 15, 1991 INCLUDED IS AN EVENT LINEUP WITH RESULTS!  THAT EVENING I DID SOME AUTOGRAPHING AND COLLECTED 2 SIGNATURES!  THE FORMER RING ANNOUNCER MEL PHILLIPS AND ROAD AGENT ARNOLD SKAALAND!  WHAT I REMEMBER MOST ABOUT THE ENCOUNTER, ARNOLD WAS CHEWING ON A CIGAR AND HAD CIGAR JUICE ON HIS HAND AS HE WIPED MOST OF IT AWAY AND SIGNED MY PROGRAM!  REMNANTS OF THE CIGAR ARE ON MY PROGRAM!  26 YEARS LATER, I STILL REMEMBER THE ENCOUNTER WITH ARNOLD!
