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 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.

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

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.

@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.

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

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

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

@hamlin37 It really might be the greatest yet most forgotten/unmentioned team in NFL history. Just a buzzsaw.

November 10, 1984: It's right around the corner, Roanoke. The granddaddy of them all: Starrcade '84. On Thanksgiving night, experience it all on the big screen.

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

November 9, 1985: I know you're going through some Hard Times out there. But just know my hand is touching your hand. And we're fixing to ride together on this lightning bolt to the NWA World Championship.

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

November 8, 1988: A day after Sugar Ray Leonard knocked out Donny Lalonde to win both his 4th and 5th world titles, the newspapers reported on the fight which was distributed by Titan Sports. From the Fort Worth Star Telegram, NY Daily News, Montreal Gazette and Atlanta Journal.

November 8, 1980: If a wrestling angle or segment gets memorialized with a simple title, odds are, it's because of how great (or infamous) it was. Today's example of greatness comes from Georgia Championship Wrestling: Four Flat Tires.

Bon matin, Québécois.

November 7, 1987: NWA Florida Heavyweight Champion Mike Rotunda makes very short work of Cougar Jay on World Wide Wrestling.

[The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Appreciation Station @MidAtlanticPod]

November 7, 1987: "The boy never touched me. I had it under control the whole time." Of course he did. He's Dick Murdoch. Captain Redneck foams at the mouth as he praises his friends and offers some threats to his enemies - Dusty, Nikita, Doctor Death and Barry WIND-HAM.

November 7, 1987: Unexpected promo combinations: Ricky Santana and NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ronnie Garvin share some time on World Wide Wrestling. Starrcade is around the corner and Garvin is looking forward to his rematch with Ric Flair in Chicago.
