You forgot USWA and PowerPro wrestling too

@@christophernicholson20 KZbin is censoring your comment. It's hidden. Go incognito and you'll see. Don't know why though they've done it.

Am I right? No report of a shooting , stabbing, missing person, or even a pedestrian hit by a car… those were the days …

[@AldenRDavis]

Yes. You're right. I'm tired and fed up with crimes in Memphis.

[@christophernicholson20]

@Lovejazz01 yeah I agree. I miss those days before Memphis turned into a war zone

[@nicholefontaine9299]

It's weird to see the news start with international news rather than local news

[@SouthernFarmingTV]

Brings back when times were so simple around here

[@AldenRDavis]

That's right.. I love these classic Memphis commercials, I'm a 80s and 90s kid.

[@DCGuy1997]

Local news was just starting to look almost as professional as the network. WMC's using Johns Williams The Mission suite helped it emulate the NBC network news.

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

This is the Dream Team of TV5‼️
