Wrestling History

[baldue]

A fellow co-worker is now
getting into the WWE, and
his excitement brings back
memories of the days when
I was just starting to watch
wrestling. I told him he missed
out on the greatest time to
grow-up and watch wrestling,
and that was the early and late
80's.

I've seen the AWA, NWA, WWF, UWF
and WCCW during some of the best
times in my viewing of wrestling.
The AWA was the promotion I loved
the watch the most, it had the
Road Warriors. The NWA was my
next promotion of choice then
the WWF with Hulk Hogan.

Watching the Road Warriors DVD
I notice one thing missing from
today's wrestling... the BUM
wrestlers, now it just would
seem to corny. But back then it
was great to see the good or bad
guys kill the bums.

I would love to see some more
DVD's about the 80's, and the
format I would like to see is
a recap of each year. Yes, have
several full length matches...
but also have interviews and
clips of other matches.

One thing is for sure, todays
wrestling will never be yesterdays
wrestling.

Keep your eyes open in the Wal Mart cheap DVD section. They will have some vintage stuff from time to time.
