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

        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
