The Crime of Ken Wayne

Aaron Gartlan presents SECW Action News Podcast and today pro wrestling historian, and author Karl Stern discusses the criminal case against one-half of The Nightmares tag team Ken Wayne. Ken Wayne (Ken Peale) was a second-generation pro wrestler and worked a lot in the Memphis territory. He was a smaller junior heavyweight wrestler who worked under a variety of gimmicks before hooking up with Danny Davis as The Nightmares tag team. He traveled to Stampede, Crockett Promotions (as The Galaxians), and more before the duo settled into SECW/Continental where he spent several years as a multi-time tag team and U.S. Junior champion. Several years ago, he was arrested and imprisoned. Here is his story.
