It had been nearly a year to the day since I met Moondog Rover at DuBowl Lanes to interview him about his comeback match. The south city wrestling champ had suffered a heart attack in July 2022, only to make a monumental return last January. Now, almost a year after that comeback, I was invited to meet Moondog at the Lemay bowling alley once again. But this time, the tone was different.
It's Saturday night, and South Broadway Athletic Club is packed for its monthly wrestling event because tonight wrestler Moondog Rover will be returning to the ring.
