Just listening to corny about the matches and travel schedule brings back my fondest memories of pro wrestling. The NWA in my mind was the best choice, far better than WWF. Not even close in my opinion. I miss it like crazy 😔😌

I was an NWA fan, and my buddy was a WWF fan back then. The first time he spent the night at my house, that next morning he was a rock and roll express fan. He said it best, the wwf looks like a Michael Jackson video and the nwa looks like a fight.

I was at the Forum show, which was the first wrestling show I ever went to. It looked about half full and I sat in the six rows from the ring. I took plenty of pics and enjoyed it. Btw, the Atlanta finish where Bubba interfered and the Midnights were disqualified when Tommy Young found Bubba's hat in the ring was the same finish here in L.A.

Wargames 92 in my humble opinion is the best one. You had a lot of top stars like Bobby Eaton, Arn Anderson, Rick Rude, Steve Austin, etc etc. The first five minutes of the match, Stunning Steve is bleeding from being run into the cage by Barry Windham. One of the best and certainly one of the wildest wargames matches I've seen.

When you talked about “card subject to change”, sometime in the late 80’s my favorite WWE wrestler, Steamboat, was advertised to come to Columbus, OH. I begged my family to take me and Steamboat was replaced with Greg Valentine. I was embarrassed as a 10 year old kid.

I remember going to a house show in Knoxville, TN in the Summer of 97 that had Ric Flair advertised on the card only to learn when main event time rolled around that Ric was nowhere in Knoxville but was already in Columbia, SC for Monday Nitro the following night getting ready for that. But, we made up for it that December when Nitro came around and seeing Hall and Nash that night.

@@apr8189 I think the lawyer's name was John Taylor in Atlanta. If they had Ric come in that night, it would've been the best moment of the show. I think the plan was to have Ric come in and sit down with his family in the front row and have JR come to the front row and interview Reid who at that point won some sort of national wrestling tournament in North Carolina.

Waylon Jennings was who they pulled the plug on in Jacksonville in 86. They wanted to get the show started and put the main event on early so they wouldn't have to issue refunds in case they got rained out. Also, the show in Chicago on July 19 didnt start until 7:30 or 8pm. The Midnight/RNR Express match went on last. So if they had worked from 2pm to 4pm in Roanoke they would have had plenty of time to fly to Chicago.

As a North Carolina boy that grew up on Ric Flair, Sting, Ricky Steamboat, The 4 Horsemen , Lex Luger, Vader, Ron Simmons, The Road Warriors, The Steiner Brothers etc. , no one misses Southern Wrestling more than me but I don't Vince to touch it because he has shit on every NWA/WCW wrestler that he signed. Plus look what he did to ECW, I'm not the biggest ECW fan but if I was it would be like watching Vince bend Sandman, Taz, RVD, and Shane Douglas over and having his way with them. What I wish is that Billy Corgan would open up the NWA as a South East Territory and have the guys really learn how to work instead of doing what TNA and ROH did which from scratch start as a nation wide company and try to copy a failing WWE.

Brian Rose I agree. I'm from Norfolk/Hampton VA so I love Mid-Atlantic/JCP/NWA/WCW. Vince can open them but they'll never run by others. I can't wait to see what this new NWA has to offer. I like ROH, their numbers are at an all-time high thanks to the Bullet Club and great booking. TNA/Impact/GFW could be great but I think another year and it's over for the promotion.

I'm just saying if he owns them why not open up 2 or 3 so that the WWE roster can all work. Everyone can work, learn, get over, & put on better shows.
