Wrestling Shows That Only You Seem To Remember

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

i remember back in '91 when i first got into wrestling, there was some random league i used to watch on sunday afternoons. i remember they had the honky tonk man.

it was international something.

i want to say it was iwccw or icw. but it couldnt have been either of those.

that orlando jordan @ 1:14 ?

looks just like him, but is he really that tall?

monique @ 8:22. that UPN love.

man props again to dude who posted the UWA. i never heard of it until this thread. they have a good amount of videos on youtube. im eating right now.

Shotgun Saturday Night since i cant find any full episodes online.

Found a link to the first Shotgun Saturday Night episode.
WWE going for that ECW crowd feeling back then.

When I used to watch TNA, I enjoyed that Reaction show they used to do. Was a different style to the way promos were done and presented, in a documentary style format. It'd show you the end of that episode and lead into the interviews. Helped them feel candid and personal. Was pretty cool and I think they even eventually worked that style into Impact.

this was the A-show of its time, breh...

he shouldve said "wrestling challenge".

cant find any clips, but i used to watch wcw prime on sports-channel.

i remember it used to air on mondays at 5pm, and then they moved it to fridays at 3pm.

chris cruise was the host. i forgot who the co-host was. prolly larry zybysko or dusty rhodes.

fukk that, WCW Pro was that shyt, the theme still plays in my head to this very moment, and there was another show on Turner Classic Sports or some shyt...

definitely.

it used to jumpstart weekend wrestling on saturday mornings. but i liked it the most when it was on sunday evenings cuz on the ppv nights, they would broadcast live and use wcw pro as the one-hour pregame show, with a bunch of matches.

i liked power hour more tho. when it was on saturday mornings and they used to announce the top 10 rankings.
i wasnt in-the-loop when it was on friday nights. i missed out on that era.

shoulda said Wrestling SPOTLIGHT... that show was even then ... it was like the C-show, where you could see the less-over stars and hear the less-used commentators.

yep... depends on what timeframe tho'

Because late-80s/early-90s, it was Superstars as the main show with Vince & Jesse (and later, Vince w/ Piper, Savage, Perfect, etc), and then Challenge was the b-show with the team of Gorilla & Brain. All the main storylines would kick off on SuperStars, then some of the midcard or tag feuds would start on Challenge. NOTHING happened on Spotlight All you'd get on there was Sean Mooney and Alfred Hayes calling matches like Paul Roma vs Conquistador #2 nshyt...

GLOW was my shyt
