This segment production quality is about perfect for pro wrestling which has been without a doubt the greatest sport in the USA over the last 30 years.
This is the kind of TV that made life worth living.
The 2nd best thing on TV at this time was WWF w/ Jesse & Gorilla.
B4 Wrestlemania, it was Starcade- I was at Starcade ' 83' in NJ at the Meadowlands arena...I had my Mr. Wrestling mask on and thought I was the #1 Ricky the Dragon Steamboat fan...
@trezuru Correction- I was not at Starcade '83', but attended the 1st NWA wrestling card on the east coast in 25yrs(Meadowlands Arena)...Spencer Christian of Ch. 7 news was the host..Flair vs Steamboat, The Road warriors, Junkyard dog, Jay Youngblood, Boogie Woogie Jim Valiant, Bundy were on the udercards.
@trezuru I think you attended "the first NWA card in NJ or the Meadowlands Arena in 25 years," not "the first NWA card on the East Coast in 25 years." From its inception, the NWA had a strong presence from Baltimore to Jacksonville. The Flair/Steamboat rivalry had been playing strong in the South since 1977, and Starcade '83 was in Greensboro, NC. For the period 1950-1984, the few times the NWA ventured into the Northeast were trips taken by the traveling NWA champ.
I love the fact that they were using the Frank Stallone hit "Far From Over",lol. I miss the "Control Centers". Wrestling will never be the same for many reasons,but moments like this will never die thanks to youtube.
I wonder what Jim crockett is doing these days. Probably retired...
Anyways, does anyone have the infamous event when Manny fernandez was bought by Paul jones and the raging bull hit Valliant with the suitcase? I can't find it on youtube
Crockett blew it when they took Starrcade out of Greensboro. That was the birthplace of Starrcade and when they moved it (did two different locations), the people in Greensboro took it personally.
And Ric Flair said in his book, Greensboro never forgave them for taking Starrcade away and they pretty much lost that city for some years if memory serves.
There was nothing wrong with a double card, but, yes, they blew it when they moved to Chicago and had the undercards in G'boro and New Orleans (non-televised). As for Valiant, after this, he was pushed down the card at JCP. Some said that it was Dusty's doing. Valiant eventually left and returned to Memphis.
BOOGIE had and has more soul in him than any brother i ever met in my life.i Met BOOGIE twice and both times was a great pleasure. He is and always will be one hell of a man !
I saw Magnum TA in his last match in Greenville SC at The Big Brown Box 1986 LIVE baby!! Pistol Pez Whatley shaved Boggie's head in da ring!! Why is The Boggie Man trying to sound like a brother. LOL
so this was obviously between Magnums accident and Nikitas face turn as hes not mentioned as a challenger to the world title. I hope they weren't really thinking of doing another Dusty-Flair match at that show.
@mrp0518 This was a week or two before the Horseman attack in the Pparking lot on Dusty and Nikita showing up as his partner. I had heard rumor that if Magnum would have not been injured, the main would have been him and Flair. Don't know if the title change would have happened there are if would have been a lead-in
@JMFabianoRPL He didn't formally turn face what happened was Baron was teaming with Dick Murdoch vs Rude & Bull. Murdoch didnt take his tag and then gave him a brainbuster. A week after Baron gave a promo where he said that Paul Jones had "hurt him in his heart". I remember that after Baron said that the crowd started cheering and screaming not for him but b/c it was time for a RocknRoll express match the next time we saw Baron he was escorting Boogie from the ring at Starcade 86.
@JMFabianoRPL all i remember is Paul Jones doing an interview on World Championship Wrestling before Starrcade and Jones telling Baron to stay away from him, and i never saw what happened for him to say that....
Think about it. Your big feud has gone the other guy's way, you've lost all your friends, cut angle after angle where you got the crap beat out of you. Are you going to cut a promo with Mean Gene Okerlund, hyped up, tanned and skin oiled up? Or are you going to be on the street sitting on an upside down bucket with a dozen empty cans of Natty Light by your feet? This is how every promo should be cut. WWE: Invest in a bucket, harmonica, and beer cans NOW. Awesome stuff. *****
That's why I loved the NWA and hated the WWF. It was so much more realistic and down to earth than the cartoonish crap the WWF presented. NWA had some muscleheads, but most wrestlers were just tough SOBs that wanted to fight.
Gawd I remember this. I was a huge Boogie Woogie fan at this time and I remember this being the first time I heard him speak in such a low tone. I used to watch this on my black & white tv with the rabbit ears. Memories!
I remember this! Notice in the background in the last 10 seconds the people watching from a distance and trying to stay out of the camera shot. I guess Jimmy was supposed to be a bit drunk here! Funny stuff.
DJ Bruce Jefferson use to manage The Boogie Woogie Man!
