Sad to hear.If you’re into the NWA wrestling,this the channel to watch.I’m subscribed to this one and they always puting out videos.
The tony podcast is all about 1986. The best year in JIm Crockett promotions history if you were a teenager in the 80s like me . It's pretty interesting . And I listen to the Arn show every other week. They have a question and answer show.I would reccomend the Conrad Thompson podcasts with Tony Schiavone and Arn Anderson for JCP fans too
Shoot, man, I go all the way back to Crockett Sr.,who was promoting "wrasslin" back in the 1950s, mainly around Charlotte. Park Center and the original Charlotte Coliseum.That guy is a blast from the past. I grew up watching wrestling and remember that guy, he was a little before my time though. It sucks seeing icons from my childhood passing away or just falling in hard times in bad health. Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior, Road Warriors, etc...
I'm Ric Flair! The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! and he was and still is. He used to hang out at Firebird's in Charlotte. Very approachable if you had boobs.The ESPN 30 for 30 on Rick Flair was one of the best of those shows.Kind of sad in a way as most of the wrestlers had a "ring persona" ,but retreated to a private life.Flair was Flair 100% of the time.His wrestling character became his life.It's a true wonder he is still alive.
Correction needed.... if it is Old School it ain’t wrestling....... IT’S RASSLING!!!
He used to see Rick Flair...
The ESPN 30 for 30 on Rick Flair...
Grew up at the Township and still listen to Jim Cornette’s podcast all of the time. His Q&A sessions are fun and it is interesting to still hear stories from when people really took wrestling seriously.
Cornette talked about Crockett, Jr on his recent show and told a story about how after they sold to TBS the Crockett brothers tried to start up again in Texas. Cornette said he was talking to him about booking some shows and Crockett was ringing up people at the ice cream shop he had opened. Multi tasking at its finest.

"Broke Dustys leg" .Yes their decision to go week by week for 86 was a great idea. That's the year I really became a fan. Late in 85 when Flair and the Andersons broke Dusty's leg in the cage is what got my attention, but 86 was so amazing. I will even say the lower card feuds like Black Bart vs Sam Houston, The Hair Wars between Boogie and Paul Jones' Army, and Wahoo vs Jimmy Garvin were better than anything in 2021
Are they more focused on the shows they are covering now? I stopped listening because they got too much into Tony making comments to sell merchandise.Yes their decision to go week by week for 86 was a great idea. That's the year I really became a fan.

Not Crockett but I loved coming home and seeing World Class on ESPN. The Freebirds vs Von Erichs and later Buddy Roberts vs Iceman Parsons with the hair cream were amazing. It was so funny to see almost identical things being done on two separate shows since one was regional and one was national.Yes their decision to go week by week for 86 was a great idea.

I watched Mid Atlantic recently on WWE Network from 81-84 and Valentine brings this up about 600 times lolNo broken leg story was better than:
I saw Flair a few years ago at the piano bar at Broadway at the beach, with his then girlfriend. Everyone called for him to come up on the stage, and he did. Proceeded to drop his pants and strut across the stage a few times with the customary "whoo, whoo, whoooo" I loved it. Truly an entertainer. He used to make me so mad when I was a kid watching him on Saturday mornings.I'm Ric Flair! The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! and he was and still is. He used to hang out at Firebird's in Charlotte. Very approachable if you had boobs.
You're my kind of man. At the WBTV studios in Charlotte, The Great Bolo accidentally threw Mike Clancy out of the ring onto a concrete floor several feet below . Mike actually sustained some unintended serious injuries. He was in the hospital for awhile. Good stuff right there.I remember the Great Bolo, Abe jacobs, Two Ton Harris. I'm getting too old!
Honestly I thought Flair would have died years agoMost of the old stars have had one foot in the grave for a while now. The papers should have a Wrastlin Remembrance page as part of the Obituaries section.
Haystacks Calhoun, Tex McKenzie, Sir Nelson Royal, Aldo Bogni, Bronco Lukovitch, Colonel Homer O'Dell, Scott Brothers, Skull Murphy, Brute Bernard, Johnny Weaver, George Becker....Yeah, I loved me some Rasslin!I remember the Great Bolo, Abe jacobs, Two Ton Harris. I'm getting too old!
Ole was the only one that was still around when I got into wrestling. I know all of the other names and have seen clips but they were a bit before my time. As much as my Dad disliked wrestling he was a big Haystack fan. He didn’t care much for the matches but thought the feats of strength he would do were amazing.Anyone on here remember Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson, Antonio Rocca, Ole Anderson, Haystack Calhoun, Bobo Brazil, Johnny Weaver

I remember all of them except Brazil, guess I'm getting old man disease, can't remember %$#& and never trust a f&%t, haha.Anyone on here remember Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson, Antonio Rocca, Ole Anderson, Haystack Calhoun, Bobo Brazil, Johnny Weaver
