The tv shows were all about getting people to the arenas.

yeah. the NWA were all about the actual wrestling, while WWF was strictly a Saturday Morning Cartoon. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:41 12
- The New York Style, the Rock and Wrestling connection and cartoons made them sell a TON of merch, and they filled places - Remlik Nov 27, 13:43 11
  - it is like Michael Bay vs an indie movie. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:51 10
    - Stadiums and Sportscenters vs Gyms and tv studios. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:00 9
      - to be fair, I always preferred those shows to the WWF shows. - groiny Nov 27, 14:05 8
        
        I loved World Class wrestling. -- nm - David Nov 27, 14:10 4
        
        Michael Hayes was one of my early idols. - groiny Nov 27, 14:16 2
        
        The Freebirds vs. the Von Erichs was always great. The wrestled virtually every week it seemed, but it never got old. -- nm - pmb Nov 27, 14:35 1
        
        World Class really had some great heels in those days - groiny Nov 27, 14:37
        
        I used to love coming home from school and watching WCCW on ESPN in the afternoons. -- nm - Tim Nov 27, 14:11
        
        I liked Mid-south and we got some of Lawler's stuff. the Georgia and North Carolina stuff just bored me. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:07 2
        
        Georgia/North Carolina stuff will always be my sentimental favorite. Black Jack Mulligan and Ric Flair were amazing. -- nm - David Nov 27, 14:10 1
        
        I agree. NOW I get the appeal of those guys (Besides Flair and Dusty) and that orgs back then and like watching that stuff -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:15
