Even to this day I hear alot of ppl in the south that say "yeah I use to watch Wrestling when WCW was on".

@willnchicago696 4 года назад

WCW was just as crappy as WWF When the territory system died in late 80’s Pro wrestling went to crap

@christhornycroft3686 3 года назад

Vince would have never done anything bad ass like the Attitude Era without the southern wrestling promotions (like WCW) pressuring him.

@olbloodngut4039 3 года назад

True. It makes me appreciate WCW more today.

"Game of Thrones" has NOTHING on Vince McMahon's WWF take over.

I now know why the WWF never came to Louisiana when I was a child. Thank you Jim for letting me know this. I always wondered why, I always loved Mid South way more that WWF.

I always kinda wonder why Crockett bought that time slot from Vince rather than waiting for Turner to pull the slot and give it to him. I’m sure there’s some sort of contract that prevented that but Crockett always seemed to pay for shit he didn’t really need to pay for such as dead territories and the like.

All of Vince’s best wrestlers came from the South... I say coincidence it was not

One of the most impactful moments of the Monday Night War that doesn’t get talked about enough is Unforgiven 1998 and the WWF going into Greensboro, the longtime stronghold of the NWA and WCW and doing 21,000 people. WCW had mocked and alienated its southern fanbase for so long and here comes Steve Austin who was everything they wanted and the closest thing to a southern territory babyface plus a hot fresh new product that in many ways was like the wrestling they loved. It was the ultimate sign the WWF was gonna win that wrestling war.

When WWF took over, it was the end of American southern wrestling. WCW's death was pretty much the nail in the coffin & you could argue TNA/Impact was that one final vestige of southern pride, but ultimately, WWE became that New York giant which destroyed American diversity/variety in wrestling.

@SAM-ru4vx 6 лет назад

ECW was born from the ashes and had a few good years. You cannot destroy pro wrestling! There will always be another startup. WWE can "dominate" but it does not have the respect from the fans....its one thing you cannot purchase.

@maxxdahl6062 6 лет назад

ECW was nothing like southern wrestling.

@MadYokeOfficial 6 лет назад

Not forever you idiot.

@joespitler3929 6 лет назад

OLE SammyOLE Pro wrestling died years ago, it's sports entertainment now.

@maxxdahl6062 6 лет назад

No wrestling is still alive. Just not on mainstream tv.

@ChrisJ-mf7cj 4 года назад

Good ol’ CCW..Continental Championship Wrestling in Alabama with The Bullet, Brad Armstrong, El Fuego and of course the original version of Michael “Prissy Sissy” Hayes! Miss those days. That truly was the good ole days of wrestling. Not this bullshit ballet.

We had Mid South in New Orleans and in Chalmette in the early 1980's nothing could touch that!! We weren't interested in the wwf or WWE coming in. I think it's blasphemy that they let them in the dome. That belonged to Watts and JYD

@thomasjones4246 5 лет назад

Mid-South wrestling was working with the WWF in the 80s and the 90s if you ever will see it the Dwayne The Rock Johnson Henry Mark Henry Hulk Hogan where's Brian Christopher Lawler Jamie Dunn which is SuperStar his son Superstar Bill Dundee you have wrestlers stunning Steve Austin better there was Stone Cold Austin Undertaker come through Memphis Tennessee

@robferguson2525 6 лет назад

@MisterBeauJanGels 6 лет назад

Rob Ferguson Are you sure? I used to watch WWF squash match wrestling and JOOOOOOOOOOOE McHugh every week in Alaska along with my "Gordon Solie Wrestling".

@robferguson2525 6 лет назад

Beau Jan Gels. Honestly maybe most of the country..but I'm in Columbus Ohio and we didn't get it but circleville Ohio. 30 or 40 miles from here..nothing but country area lol..they received it

@sydneystroud4397 4 года назад

It kinda was. WWOR (New York) was on a lot of cable subscriptions across the US and internationally.

@madbrowniac7871 2 года назад

BJG: If I had only thought to tune in WWOR on Cable I could've seen future classic Championship Wrestling from Florida broadcasts in addition to the Antenna Television style shows I watched devotedly. Oddly enough when Vince made his early push for national expansion in very early 1984 the announcers were once Florida employed Jack Reynolds and the recently deceased Angelo King Kong Mosca on a syndicated show on Sunday nights WTTO Channel 21 Birmingham. And the talent roster included once Florida alum Scott McGhee and late great Southeastern alum Quick Draw Rick McGraw. Would love to have seen some of the quintessential Florida lunacy though. Followed them and other territories via Aptermags...🤔B.W.
