this is gonna sound gay...but I dont remember the Freebirds vs. Von Erichs feud. I was around in '82. Was that in Mid South???...it had to have been. I guess all I watched back then was AWA...Jerry Blackwell and Mad Dog Vachon had some classics...Midnight Rockers vs. Buddy Rose and Doug Summers was good too...fuck 'n A...Im drunk and bored...



World Class Championship Wrestling was based out of Texas but ran in syndication during the early 80's in different parts of the country. Much later, reruns ended up on ESPN every day in the early 90's long after it folded. It was run by Fritz Von Erich and he built it around his kids, and even worse, when they started dying from drugs, he used their deaths to rake in more ticket sales from the diehard fans who were mostly teenage girls that looked at the Von Erichs as rock stars. Anyway, it was always a hot show because the crowd would go nuts for the Von Erichs and a lot of pretty big names started down there like Rick Rude, Ultimate Warrior and King Kong Bundy.
