The EXCITING Mid-South Wrestling Television Network.

One of the few times ive seen a heal connect on a dropkick.

Gulas was so terrible.

Two all-time greats in their prime.

poor video and no sound made it impossible to tell what was going on much of the time.

I think that might be Rip Smith. Decent wrestler. Had some great moments in the Knoxville tag and Junior Heavyweight scenes. Went on to be in Paraduse Alley with Terry Funk. I

Daddy said sell

I think both Randy Savage & especially Lanny Poffo learned there ring psychology off of both (The Great) Boris Melinko & Pual (The Golden Boy). Christy who were in my book the 2 greatest professional wrestling ring psychologist of all time & even though Randy was much more talented then Lanny Lanny had better ring psychology than Randy did aka The Genius

I'm surprised these two didn't legitimately kill each other

😂😂😂 Tommy Rich is definitely happier then heck standing beside Ann Gunkle I know I would be 😊😙..I would love Ann to be my boss promoter anytime way back then if I was a wrestler back then 😁👍

Man this is like shockingly bad. He doesn’t even look like he works out at all

For those of us that have watched wrestling for years, think about all of the NON-wrestlers that you’ve ever seen in the ring, from Jim Ross to Vince to even someone like Eric Bishoff at times…those literally are the worst working punches I’ve ever seen. Forget about talent and athleticism, was he even trained properly??

Bobby Shane was killed in the same plane crash that ended the careers of Buddy Colt and Gary Hart. Also on that plane was a young wrestler named Mike McCord who would later gain even more fame as Austin Idol.

Wow😲😊 I would love Ann to be my boss promoter anytime😊if I was a wrestler way back then 😙..Here Ann would be about 46 or 47 & is still definitely attractive😁👍

How did the promoters get anyone to work with George? It's so bad it's hard to watch.

Texas Championship Wrestling was somewhat of a throwaway show, but you would think they could bring more than one camera to Reunion Arena.

7:55 Everybody Chan Chung tonight.

WTF GHW Bush was Wahoo’s baseball coach? Was Wahoo CIA? Lol

Buddy Jack looks like late 90s Ric Flair here, lol.

I grew up on Saturday Night Wrestling Oak Hill days. I know Steve as well. I used to be a ref for him. Good memories.

Bubby Roberts did have the best ring psychology out of the 3 original Fabolous Freebirds but he was the least talented of of the 3 with Terry (Bam Bam) Gordy being the most talented out of the 3 & Michael PS Hayes being the best talker than later in late1990 to early1991 I believe🤔 but I might be a bit off? Jimmy (Jam) Garvin joined the new Freebirds Tag Team in WCW so there is 4 all together

I love this channel!

Dutch Mantells brothers attempt in 1st segment?

Two legendary brawlers giving the fans a fantastic match

1:48 huh😦The Nightstalker? that's Atom Bomb Wraith aka Brian Clarke this is definitely not from 1975 it's from 1989 I believe but definitely not from 1975 sorry but this date is way off

George looked like the dork on the playground who got picked last for the ballgame.

Brody was awesome. plain and simple. Buddy roberts was cool in the Freebirds.

1:07 to 1:11 1000$ was about 6500$ in.2024 & 10,000$ would be about 65,000$ in 2024 im guessing this is about 1975 but im guessing🤔 so that was a lot of money

Jack Brisco vs Terry Funk is from im guessing early to mid or maybe late 1974 but im guessing early to mid 1974 is my guess🤔

12:52 Moose 🫎 Cholak don't think I spelled his last name right🤔 has got to be at least 350lbs to maybe 375lbs tops

The 2nd match looked like it was from late 1970 to early 1972 cause it was black n.white

❤

Has there EVER been a more boring masked wrestler than Mr Wrestling II?...Even his damn mask, boots, & tights are boring...I swear that he's the "Penn State of Professional Wrestling"...Good grief

LOVE those tarzan singlets!!

Bobby Shane vs Jack Brisco!!!

Great childhood memories. My maternal grandmother loved Eddie and my Dad was a fan of the Great Malenko. Made for some interesting TV time on Saturdays. The two of them would bicker the entire time.

Horrible from start to finish. That "black mat star" was out of breath after 40 seconds. They looked like two guys they had just found at the liquor store and offered to buy them a bottle of mad dog 20/20 if they got in the ring. He pinned him down like he was his prison cellmate. Oh well, atleast they weren't as bad as George Gulas.

My dad was friends with flying Fred and anytime he was back here in Columbus at vets memorial or the fairgrounds coliseum he'd give us tickets..met Andre and the sheik and a few others I can't remember.. back in the mid to late 70s so I was only like 7-8 yrs old but meeting Andre and the sheik I'll never forget

Dean Ho is a good wrestler he was a mid carder but his partner Mike Web is absolutely terrible a ham & egger for sure

Columbus Georgia🤔 im guessing but There is also a Columbus in Ohio

Love the way Garvin says “YOURE NAME IS POFFO!” POFFO!

The ring looks like 3 balloon matresses stacked on top of one another

Ill never understand how this troupe didnt just blow Lawler, his pro wrestler of the month, andy kaufman and all of those green guys right out of the territory.Maybe if daddy Poffo had just spent some money on things like marketing…i know i would have been a convert

When Ric Flair was the traveling NWA champion he always elevated other promotions and always made their top babyfaces look great but still left town with the title. Ric Flair was the GOAT especially in the 80's

I grew up in Durham NC and in the 80's WCCW was my second favorite wrestling promotion right behind NWA Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. WCCW was loaded with talent and always had great storylines. They were at their best from 1980 till 1985 or so. It all went downhill when David Von Erich passed away.

Who was the ref?

Was the ring set up in someone's hotel room? "One Man Gang" before the "One Man Gang?"

Abby &Lewin vs The assassins would have been fire.

The mat is a work hazard.

This was right after the 1979 Knoxville Wrestling War. Bob Roop, Ron Wright, Bob Orton Jr., Ronnie Garvin, and Dean Malenko tried to take over the territory from Ron Fuller. Ron Wright was the only one that had a legitimate claim because he bought a part of the territory once before and then the Fullers came in and took over. The 1979 Wrestling War killed off wrestling in east Tennessee for years. The Poffos took advantage of the situation and moved in and ran some outlaw shows. The guys that were with Ron Wright were labelled as outlaws for years and had to work with the Poffos. The Poffos were proud to be outlaws and ran opposition to everyone. They didn't really last long in the area either. Wrestling didn't come back strong in east Tennessee until Ron Fuller brought in Continental Wrestling in about 1986.
