So, Tony Atlas was too chicken to testify, Sure aint how Tony tells it, Bucks story has the ring of truth to it.

What a boob. Hulk was a Champion in one territory so of course he can win often. But the NWA Champion has to go to territory to territory and defend the title. So what are you gonna do have a babyface champion go against the top babyface in the territory? That would be the sh*ts. What are you going to do have the babyface champion go against the top heel in that territory? Then the fans of that territory never see their babyface get the shot at the title. I understand what he is saying but the formula was a traveling heel champion for a reason.

For some strange reason I didn't appreciate this man when I was young. Now I realize what a jewel Buddy was. I did get to see him wrestle at least once. Too tall, too tan and too good looking! God bless you Mr Landel...

So what do you call a man threatening to fight everyone that doesn’t do exactly what he wants? That’s a bully. Also I notice he likes to bring religion into everything all the while cursing every breath. This is the reason he didn’t last after the mid 90s. The old way of business was over. Now I’m not saying he wasn’t made that way from dealing with a business full of con men and hustlers, but other people came out the other side not acting like that. But I suppose if we look at other promoters like Vince, Crocket, Fritz, etc he’s about par for the course. A cartel of bastards haha

David was the star of the Von Erich family if all things were considered . He was the best in the ring , the best interview and understood the business better than any of his brothers. His death spelled doom for the for the promotion .

I had met Jimmy in public settings a few time . He never broke character yet was never rude . He was polite but kept things short . Probably to protect his gimmick . He was very dedicated . In learning about this era I have yet to hear from anyone that Jimmy Wehba was anything but a classy guy

I love his mid-Texas accent “ I started in Nineteen -Sixty Tew “ . Nothing weong with it but its distinct and you aren’t hearing regional accents like that anymore . I did think it slightly took away from his gimmick , though . Not as bad as horribly put on Arabic accent though . Maybe thats why he never affected one ?

Bill Watts was fixing WCW but the corporate world was not a good fit in wrestling 🤼♀️ . I think had they not gotten in his way and just allowed him to win the fans over WCW might still be around .
