The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station

Celebrating JCP history/programming. No politics/nonsense. Occasionally exalts Sterling Marlin but its mostly old pro wrestling that helps you feel good again.

November 13, 1982: TONIGHT, TORONTO.

Here to tell you about it are the NWA World Tag Team Champions, Smilin' Jack and Jerry Brisco (EH!), who face off against Handsome Jimmy Valiant and Angelo Mosca.

November 13, 1982: Tensions are rising as Sergeant Slaughter and Don Kernodle's reign of terror with the NWA World Tag Team Championship continues. Confronted by Roddy Piper, the champions receive a big surprise about their upcoming tag match on November 28th in Charlotte.

I'll admit I'm a little biased but I have hundreds of wrestling books and Gary Hart's is in the upper echelon for me. If you're a wrestling history fan and a reader, you'll love it.

[Shelton Hull @SheltonHull]

@MidAtlanticPod I'm reading the Gary Hart book online right now. Impossible to find in print, but you can download it on @Scribd for free. 319 pages, and it's really good. His career started in 1962, and the level of detail in his memory is stunning. It's really good, highly recommended!

November 12, 1988: That'll do it for this week, we'll see you next week, so long for now, on the best in professional wrestling, World Wide Wrestling.

November 12, 1988: It's time for a little Straight Talk With The Boss. The Varsity Club has made the addition of Dr Death Steve Williams to go along with Mike Rotunda and Rick Steiner - who seems to be a little confused as to his past conquests as an amateur.

November 12, 1983: My three favorite pro wrestlers at this point in my life are in for some breaking news. Pat O'Connor was supposed to be the special guest ref for Ric Flair's title match against Harley Race at Starrcade. But, because Pat and Harley own a restaurant and ranch together, a conflict of interests seem to have arisen.

@tonyrichards4 @SNewfootballfan Not a fave of the staunch religious and conservative fanbase for sure.

November 12, 1983: Good morning.

November 11, 1995: There was wrestling on Ozark Mountain but these shows are often worth watching just to see how many plates Bert Prentice can spin. As always he's on location to sell for his sponsors. Today it's a classic for Southern Auto Sales as well as Trent's Rental Center

November 11, 1990: On Main Event, Paul E Dangerously shows us his adventures in trying to find the Motor City Madman at one of the naughtiest emporiums of Detroit - conveniently named Naughty's Emporium. At Clash of the Champions XIII, consider Lex Luger a dead duck.

I want to believe so bad a treasure trove of Caps Centre closed-circuit/WRC-TV material will be unearthed. If there was an NFL-level pro wrestling HOF, George Michael would be a member of the media wing. Learned what worked from Warner Wolf and took sports footage to a new level.

[RCS88 @RCS_388]

@MidAtlanticPod I wonder if someone out there has these full Cap Center shows?

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

With 24, in theory, a 7-5 all-Tiffany Indie team could very well be equal to or greater than a 8-4 conference team. But, again, you'd definitely need more than just Notre Dame and 4 or 5 possible ACC teams. You'd have to bait some other BIG HELMETS - and I don't know who would rock that boat first. (Okay, probably Texas Tech - but that helmet just ain't big enough.)

November 10, 1984: Surely much to his chagrin, Ole Anderson's Georgia territory was working with Memphis, Charlotte & Minneapolis to stay alive. Here, US Champion Wahoo McDaniel makes short work of Jason Walker, before his manager Jimmy Hart cuts a promo alongside his Assassins.

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

@S_ATL_Wrestling Facts but threats of lawsuits over collusion may take of that. The Miami prez floating the idea has led to the thought of them, FSU, Clemson & UNC bailing & becoming indies for 3 years. In that case, SMU would prob. go too. If I'm Netflix or NBC I'll pay for Miami. Clemson? Ehhh.

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

@jrwadsworth18 Jim, Doreen, Bob, George and Arch. God bless.

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

For the uninitiated or new, you'll get some of everything here. Including random posts of Sterling Marlin and this George Michael coverage of Hulk Hogan against Paul Orndorff at the Capital Centre from October 17, 1986.

[The Big Time Show @bigtimelou]

@MidAtlanticPod That's Memphis in the Mid-South Coliseum... It's not Mid-Atlantic
