I watched memphis wrestling every saturday after cartoons. at night was some fed with Adrian Street, The Nightmares, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. and in the afternoons is was TBS. Started watching WWE when Saturday Night's main Event started coming on.
When I lived in Chicago it was the WWF and occasionally some NWA. When I moved to Atlanta it became the opposite. I remember there being a block from about 8 to around 2 or 3 in the morning every Saturday night of nothing but wrestling WWF,USWA,etc.
~Vince McMahon Says He Needs Smackdown To Be The Number 1 Brand~
WrestleZone has exclusively learned that in more than one creative meeting over the past two weeks, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has informed the writers that he wants Smackdown to be "treated as the number one brand," including opening up the possibility of more trades in order to strengthen the brand.
McMahon feels that a sub-par rating for Smackdown on SyFy would injure WWE's standing with NBC-U, who McMahon is looking to for help in launching the proposed WWE Network. While some on the writing staff are actually trying to come up with scenarios that would include trades or Smackdown getting more exposure (like winning the battle royal tonight on Raw), others on the writing staff have not jumped at this latest "fire alarm" (as a creative team member described it tonight), saying "this is just how Vince reacts to pressure. He says this about all major groups and factions."
Its All About the Moneyyyyyyyyyyyy
I'm not suprised by this. When Smackdown was on My Network tv and they were not going to keep it there and instead switch over to SyFy the higher ups basically pulled some of the A listers off Smackdown namely Edge and Jericho and put them on Raw basically giving Smackdown low ratings until the switch to SyFy and now Edge is back and once Jericho returns he will go back as well.If they want Smackdown to be the top show they should have more Raw superstars on there.The Nexus should invade Smackdown as well.If they had a tag-team division it could help Smackdown as well.Who is going to challenge Rhodes and McIntyre ????? Knowing the WWE writers they would probably bring Cryme Tyme back together to feud with them.
Also Neidhart had got into some shit around that time for getting arrested on a plane and shit.
~BORN's RANDOM WRESTLING STUFF #1~
Ted Dibiase was scheduled to win the World Title at WM originally, but WWF changed their plans at the last minute. Literally, a few days before the show.
It all started from the Honky Tonk Man as he refused to lose the IC belt back to Savage(fearing they had nothing planned for him after which they didn't) and threaten to jump to the nwa with it
then Savage went nuts and was promised the title at mania
He was then gonna drop it to Dibiase who would then drop it back to Hogan at mania but the mega powers exploding became a better storyline
Dibiase got screwed by being the only professional
Honky Tonk Man also refused to put over Bret Hart and bad news brown until finally seeing dollar signs in the Ultimate Warrior
ANd to add Honky Tonk Man actually called up Jim Crocket and was gonna take the belt with him to the NWA but he was on vacation during that time. And finally vince smoothed things out with him but t pissed of Savage and the rest was history
so did savage bang steph or what was that all about?

Well Dibiase is a former 3-time WWF World Tag Title holder with I.R.S as Money Inc.
That's the rumor
Still a rumor
I grew up in AWA(Gagne, Bobwinkle) territory. Also the AWA was the umbrella promotion for the WWA World Wrestling Association which was an AWA satelite and saw guys like Bobo Brazil, Dick The Bruiser, The Crusher, Ray The Crippler Stevens, and Spike Huber So I grew up on the Gagne's, Nick Bobwinkle, Ken Patera, Baron Von Raske, Jesse Ventura, and Hulk Hogan before he blew up big in WWF in 1984. Speaking of WWF (pre Wrestlemania) I used to catch on WOR station based in Seacaucus NJ and thought they had a great product with the likes of Andre, Bob Backlund, Jimmy Snuka, Rocky Johnson, Don Muraco, Pedro Morales, the Wild Somoans, and the Strongbows. In the early 80's I was hooked on WTBS World Championship Wrestling(formerly Georgia Championship Wrestling) and was extremely geeked when Mid-South got on WTBS, then I used to love visiting my family in Mississippi just to watch Mid-South Wrestling, Also our local channels channels also carried World Class Championship Wrestling(ran by the Von Erich's who controlled east texas and Southwest Championship Wrestling(Jose Lothario) which controlled western texas. I used to buy Pro Wrestling Illustrated back in day as well as other wrestling mags. I used to love Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranking position esecially the Most Hated I was a huge Butch Reed fan and was impressed at how long he stayed # 1 on that list for a stretch of months in 1983 with his heel turn on JYD in Mid South. Easily the best heat for a black heel since Ernie Ladd turned heel in the late 1970's with famous heel turns on Cowboy Bob Ellis(1st heel turn I think) and Dusty Rhodes.
Ah man, I used to get PWI every month. I actually had all the centerfolds on an entire wall in my room. I used to get PWI, Inside Wrestling, and The Wrestler.
Even if they have SD win again this year, they'll just do what they did last year, bring them over to Raw and job them out in singles and tag matches.
i must see this!!!!
I haven't seen any YT or WWE Classics video of it. It was the mid 70s and Crockett didn't always keep stuff on tape. But it was fucking classic. He took out three cards, said they were from some famous actresses of the time and threw away the rest.
Warrior was also know to blow up (get tired) before the match even began because of all that energy. I play as warrior on legends of wrestling showdown for the xbox and that shit is classic, not the best gameplay but wrestling inside of texas stadium with the von erichs is priceless.
No shame in being scared of damien hell big bad andre hated that damn snake.
Yeah i read that a few years ago.

Damn, I've been watching wrestling since "84" and didn't know half the shit yall know. Thank's for informing...
Yo, we need some more layla pix up in here!!! when that chick gonna get in playboy?
Plus HTM was gonna do an Alundra Blaze/Medusa and drop the belt in the garbage.
Same here I would get those Mags,and the rest of the Apter mags Sports Review wrestling, Victory Sports, Wrestling Superstars, And Wrestling86-89
Yep. And also there wwas the other story abbout Dibiase joining the horsemen in 86 but they chosed Luger. And then another story with Nikita also in 86 with Koloff and Ivan jumping to the WWF to fight Hogan
I had the Wrestling 89 with Ric Flair and Ted Turner on the cover for years. Flair dressed even better than Ted.

Hahahahhaha i remember that one. And 1989 was NWA best year with in ring action, Muta-Sting, Muta-Steamboat, Steamboat-Flair, Funk-Flair, Tedddy Long being the crooked ref, Luger having his best run as a heel.
89 was a great year for NWA wrestling. I think that's when I really started watching NWA. I watched it b4 that but I really didn't pay it that much attention.
89 was a hell of a year for NWA Wrestling. If I'm not mistaken that was the year of the first Halloween Havoc
LOL89 was a hell of a year for NWA Wrestling. If I'm not mistaken that was the year of the first Halloween Havoc
Correct and the other PPV, Chi town rumble, Wrestle War, GAB, and Starrcade. And the 5 Clashes
I'll never get tired of her body
Note: I know this is an older photo of her, I just felt like posting it anyway.
Mickie had me screaming "BABY LET ME LICK YO ASSSSSS!" lookin like
with a father and his young sons sitting in the seats right next to me about 2 house shows ago. That bitch is a problem. 
Oh Mickie you so fine...
You don't understand...
The first wrestling match I ever saw was in Memphis in the 80s. Brickhouse brown and Eric embry vs devastation Inc.
Skandor ackbar was the heel of all heels.
A cheap gimmick they hope will go over because it's MTV's best show. That black guy from NXT season 1 was trying to be a spoof of the Jersey Shore people too. It didn't go over for him either. Only dickheads like those people from those Jersey shows.
Le Cool made me chuckle 
with their mockery Brett and Jim.
Natalya is thick.
Alberto was great in his win over Morrison. That will be a good rivalry one day.

~BORN's Random Stuff 2~
~The Game gimmick that Triple H has was originally intended for Owen Hart. He wasn't suppose to get the huge HHH push that came with it, just the gimmick a nice push~
~Vader's depush in WWF was all a product of Shawn Michaels. He was upset about Vader blowing a spot in their SummerSlam match he got Sid in Vader's spot.~
~WCW superbrawl 1995
The opening match between Paul Roma vs. Alex Wright led to Paul Roma getting fired.
Roma was pissed he had to job to the new up and comer, so during the match he no sold for Alex Wright, barely let him get any offense in and took some liberties with him, which lead to him getting chewed out and fired.~
~Kevin Nash faked a heart attack to avoid jobbing to the Giant at Starrcade 1997~
~WCW was hyping before BATB 2000 a big surprise that "Vince Mcmahon couldn't do anything about", it ended up being Goldberg turning heel, lol. The reason was, it originally was suppose to be Mandalay Entertainment buying WCW for $600 million, but the deal fell through~
~Billy Gunn was originally going to be the driver that ran over Steve Austin at SS '99.~
Jim Cornette was offered the job to be Flair's manager, but he turned it down (was working on trying to start up Smoky Mountain), so they gave it to Curt Hennig. ~
