Anyway, wccw, i remember when stone cold was just plain steve austin, balding in front, long blonde in back. The chris adams / austin feud was a thing to behold. Devestation inc was hated by everyone, id sit at home chanting " rag head rag head" along with the tv crowd in the sport a torium every time skandor akbar ran out. Percy Pringle, i remember him. Eric embry, the von erich family, a young jeff jarrett, yummeh. Billy joe travis, man what ever happened to them all. The freebirds, i loved watching wccw.
And the wwe / wcw fights, yes i watched them too, i think i was slightly more on the wcw side but i flipped back n forth to both. And before wcw was wcw it was some little georga promotion on superstation tbs, god what was it national wrestling alliance? georga championship wrestling ? something but i remember those old days in my late tween / early teen years. But i havent really been into wrestling in a few years, the hayday is long gone. Its just too stupid now mostly.
