Joe Pedicino, who worked as a commentator for WCW and created Superstars of Wrestling, has passed away. PWInsider reports that Pedicino died on April 12th after a long period of illness that followed a stroke in June of last year. He was 70 years old.
We are very sad to learn about the passing of Joe Pedicino; he had battled poor health after a stroke in June last year.
IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW
Pedicino would go on to start his own wrestling promotion, Georgia All-Star Wrestling, in 1989 and would co-found the Global Wrestling Federation in Dallas in 1991. He served as the lead announcer for the company, which ran out of the Dallas Sportatorium that the then-recently closed WCCW had occupied.
As the wrestling business went into decline, the show became financially drained and Pedicino sold his share of the company after leaving in April of 1992.
Pedicino had a run in WWF as an interviewer for several months in 1993 but largely exited the wrestling business in the 1990s, turning his attention to radio where he owned and operated several Georgia-based radio stations.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN
It was reported that “Pedicino had been ill for some time after suffering a stroke in June 2019.”
The National Wrestling Alliance’s official Twitter account sent out a tweet to remember all of the contributions that Pedicino made throughout his career.
The National Wrestling Alliance is saddened to learn of the passing of Joe Pedicino. We send our thoughts and prayers to his friends and family.
in the 80s, Joe created and produced the syndicated show “Pro Wrestling This Week” which provided national coverage of the NWA.
