"Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport, the thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat. The human drama of athletic competition. This is ABC's Wide World of Sports!"
I'm aware of that already. I've only added this in here because of the theme music. I've grew up watching WWOS every Saturday/Sunday on ABC during the 80s and 90s. It wasn't meant as that.
It was a good show to watch at the time when certain sporting events, that you wanted to see, were not being covered in their entirety by the big 3. Auto racing was one.
