If you had asked me about The Battle of Los Angeles prior to recording the most recent episode of Phone It In, I would’ve asked, “oh you mean the professional independent wrestling tournament?” But, no! The Battle of Los Angeles refers to an actual incident that took place back in the 1940s in a country that was highly paranoid of an attack on American soil. It evoked memories of the War of the Worlds tale, a story read over the radio that caused mass hysteria. Nonetheless, it was interesting to learn about something completely new to me because this event damn sure wasn’t in the history books I was learnin’ from back in my day.
