I'm 44, so I grew up in a unique time of sports entertainment. Does anyone remember when WCCW (the precursor to WCW) was on ESPN in the afternoons? It boggles my mind that it was allowed, it was SO BLOODY, barbed wire matches like crazy..
I tapped out of WWF/WCW when I went to college in the mid 90s, and many would say the peak happened after that, but I disagree.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I recently went down the rabbithole of Prime Time Wrestling, which was the show before Monday Night Raw was created. I enjoyed the 80's more than the 90's, as Gorilla and Heenan would just send us out to grimy matches from house shows. What a time to be alive, relived the rise of Hulkamania and saw stars like Macho Man, Jake Roberts blow up..
My biggest takeaways were: Ted DiBiase was actually an incredible technical wrestler - and Honky Tonk Man was the greatest IC champion of all time.
