CWF introduced me to Kevin Sullivan in 1980, been a big fan of his since, brilliant mind for the business.❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

I have been a fan of Kevin Sullivan since I first saw him in CWF in early 1980❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

This feels like the sort of 16mm film you discover in a far corner of your attic.

Really wished they had the angle of Blackjack and Flair with the cowboy hat and the robe. It was great

Flair and black jack were partners then enemies back and forth for years but paul Jones and black jack had some of the most brutal bloody matches of all time

I met blackjack a couple of times and he was a very big man i remember when I was a kid there was a man in our town that was huge and looked like blackjack he was so big only one barber had a chair that was big enough for him back then men only went to barber shop to get hair cut and anyone that got a haircut back then knows how a barber is supposed to cut your hair they know the feeling of a fresh haircut cant find that now days one barber cut my hair from age 5 to age45 then he passed away i tried but nobody cuts it like the oldbarbers so i just buzz cut my own hair now

Loved Mr Wrestling 2 knee lift the set up loved it

Gee, Sterling Golden looks kinda familiar 🤣

I met rocky Johnson several times and s couple times when he was sweet ebony daimond

I don't know if Sullivan was playing a skit or he was for real with the cult but he was convincing with it

I'm still waiting to see an episode when Tony Atlas wore a mask and was billed as "Black Atlas". He refers to the era in his book with some pretty funny stories but, after scouring the web, I have yet to find an episode with any footage.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That Chicago team is one of the greatest teams not to win the cup. 😊

A chance to see Paul Jones, the promoter rather than Paul Jones the mediocre wrestler and 3rd rate manager at 34:00.

I was too young to remember when Danville Va would have Wrestling matches at it,s auditorium and wrestlers like Paul Jones Johnny Weaver, and others from the 70,s came to town and a guy i used to work with said He went to a card they had one night, and after it was over , he said he saw Paul Jones, Weaver and all the other wrestlers that were on the card that night got in to 2 big station wagons and left together , he said he saw them when they were getting IN the cars . He said the way they were acting in the ring you would think they hated each other but they were laughing and carrying on, Went on to the next town i guess,

Yes, with the camera that far away, it’s hard to see the faces

Interesting in Chicago they never talk about (or almost never talk about) the Hawks in the finals in '62 and '65 they talk about winning the Cup in '61 and losing in '71 and '73 I guess people would rather forget those games thanks for posting

Lance is great. The way he sells it makes it feel 100% real.

Nice:)

Gordon Solie is the only announcer I'd ever heard who thanked the production crew by name, for years, during broadcasts. Thank you for this slice of wrestling history. So very enjoyable.

Tully looks a little like Freddy Mercury

Stan lane was always so hard to watch back then. He always did the gay dancing and it was always so cringy. . .lol

ROFLMAO, Kevin Sullivan calling others sick??? Oh man

Bock was the best. He was a great talker with that arrogant attitude. My favorite wrestler of all time

The days of kayfabe, hard bumps, stiff matches, great selling jobs, wrestlers living their gimmicks, better than anything today!

Dick Murdock & Dick the Bruiser= WRESTLINGS BIGGEST DICKS!!

RIP Rich Landrum.

Big John Studd was Mid Atlantic Tag Champ with Ken Patera at this time. He is holding the belt and no mention of it?

Jeez, Dick The Loser was the drizzling shitz. Would it have killed him to sell, at least once in a while?

You might not be my hockey hero, but you're certainly my rasslin' hero. Thanks for posting these St. Louis videos!

Joe Garagiola's corny commentary was hilarious. LOL

OMG NO WONDER THE WRESTLERS GOT STABBED THERE ARE NO ROPES OR RAILS AROUND THE RING. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS

@ 4:05:00 as a white person we don't claim that thing in the blue.

Even kennel lee Trevino wow.

Does anybody know the name of the theme song?

The Hawaii territory was 🔥

Mid-Atlantic is the first and best wrestling promotion I was turned on to. In 1966 my family moved from the country into the town of Ironton, Ohio. I was able to pick up 3 channels instead of 2 we were used to. Henceforth....my discovery of wrestling at the tender age of 5 and a half. Such great memories of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling. The Infernos with JC Dykes, the Anderson Brothers, Weaver and Becker. Wrestling in Mid-Atlantic followed me through the Horseman days and Dusty Rhodes til the unfortunate end in 2001.!

What’s the story of Lawler’s eye?

Andre The Giant was actually Bill Eadie's The Masked Superstars Daughters Godfathers. Wrestling was so fake and people believed it.

I never did see yhe grudge match between these 2. Thanks for sharing!😊👍! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

Adonis as a world champ? no wonder they folded.

FWOXDHSZTWER

Jimmy Hart would have been a great drummer. Super fast feet (double bass).

It should be Mark Howe, not Gordie Howe.

The original First Family was founded by Jimmy Hart in the late 1970s to take the CWA title from his former protege, Jerry "The King" Lawler. The group extensively feuded with Lawler into the 1980s, a time particularity remembered for comedian Andy Kaufman's rivalry with Lawler.

Was the Super Destroyer here Bill Eadie the Masted Superstar?

In the WWWF Von Heller was called Otto Von Heller

Andre The Giant stepping through the ropes instead of over them. Georgia's ropes were higher than WWWF's. Gordon was no doubt great but Freddie the announcer was great and a voice unequaled.

O yes what memories

Gordon Solis made every match sound like the real thing. Gordon was a class guy.
