Makes me wanna watch 2 episodes of Captain Planet, and then 1 hour of WCW Main Event on TBS, the Superstation... Then, you can catch movies for guys who like movies with Dirty Harry, starring Clint Eastwood, followed by hard-hitting action with Blood Sport, starring Jean Claude Van Damme.
Yes, Back in the 90's, TBS SuperStation was awesome Braves Baseball, Captain Planet, 2 Stupid Dogs, SWAT KATS, WCW Main Event, WCW Saturday Night, Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry, Bloodsport (my little brother loved that movie) and don't forget about James Bond Good Times, I miss TBS before Time Warner sold out and got rid of Pro Wrestling, NBA and Braves Baseball as well as cartoons and even classic shows like Andy Griffith, The Jeffersons, Good Times, Sanford & Son, Happy Days, HUNTER, etc.
An actual Windham fan! Wow. Not trolling, I genuinely want to know what made him a star, enough to get main event matches, be in the Four Horsemen etc? I never got it. He was just this tall dude. Not great looking, no notable charisma or mike skills, not particularly exciting in the ring.. what WAS it then??
I love this! I ordered this on cassette tape when I was in 6th grade from a WCW catalog I had...brings back great memories! And of course...BW was the man!
"Rumor spreading 'round in that Texas town About that shack outside La Grange And you know what I'm talking about Just let me know if you wanna go To that home out on the range They gotta lotta nice girls Have mercy A-haw haw haw-haw Heh, a-haw haw-haw Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time And the ten to get yourself in A hmm, hmm And I hear it's tight most every night But now I might be mistaken Hmm, hmm, hmm Have mercy"
+gpdcjf102 Yea the NWA Champion, but they were billing the WCW Title as more important. He should have become WCW Champion and had more in my view. he was a great heel
His first heel run from 1988 to 1991 was pretty good, too. Would've been better if WWF hadn't given him the Widowmaker gimmick during his short stay there. As much potential as that had, it went nowhere. His runs with the Horsemen and 1992-93 were his best as a heel.
I'm a big Windham fan but the problem is he was broken down as a performer at this time. I think WCW did as much with him as they could. Certainly booked him better than WWF. Like this theme, one of the better off this shitty Album.
I absolutely loved Barry Windham he was one of my favorites in wcw I liked his work in the ring everything wwe came up for him absolutely sucked in my opinion he could have been a huge star for the wwe just like he was in wcw

Braves baseball at 6:05
Super Friday WCW Saturday Night at the Center Stage...good times
Man, i miss 90's TBS, reading this took me back.

You nailed it, captain planet he's our hero.
Barry Windham was the best choice to be a Horsemen in 88.
I was looking everywhere for this. Ty
Windham is one of my all time favorites. Im glad that this theme and that idiotic "Stalker" gimmick didn't ruin him.

Nice of them to mention Blackjack Mulligan and Kendall.
I love this theme. Thanks for adding it.
"Rumor spreading 'round in that Texas town
About that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talking about
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range
They gotta lotta nice girls
Have mercy
A-haw haw haw-haw
Heh, a-haw haw-haw
Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
And the ten to get yourself in
A hmm, hmm
And I hear it's tight most every night
But now I might be mistaken
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Have mercy"
This has a ZZ TOP vibe. I dig it!
Its too bad WCW didn't give him a bigger heel push.
I've been watching some 90s WCW and man he was a good heel
+David Ford I don't know... they did kinda make him the heel world champion in 1993

Yea the NWA Champion, but they were billing the WCW Title as more important. He should have become WCW Champion and had more in my view. he was a great heel
They might as well have put him back with the Horsemen (spared us the Paul Roma bullshit) if they weren't going to do anything else.

Wish this was on Apple Music so I could add it to my wrestling entrance playlist.
I love the way they shoehorned wrestlers moves into the songs on this album.
Windham ruled
I believe Boston and ZZ Top would like to talk to WCW about this song, LOL
Funny you say that, Does anybody else hear a touch of "La Grange" in the guitar riff ?
Oh yeah! Smoking Hot!❤️❤️
I absolutely loved Barry Windham he was one of my favorites in wcw I liked his work in the ring everything wwe came up for him absolutely sucked in my opinion he could have been a huge star for the wwe just like he was in wcw
He was a huge star in the WWE and he did team up with his brother in law Mike and they had the best manager ever captain Lou
Man, you get all dulled out by that awful Steamboat theme and then this kicks in and hits you with a big ol lariat.
Hell yeah!
This theme's the lovechild of Smokin' and La Grange
Fun song. I think he was using this when he won the world title?
And yes, it is basically 'Smokin' by Boston but I didn't know that when I first heard him use it, hahaha.
Remember when there were only a couple wrestlers that would attempt to do the superplex? Now AEW requires 7 superplexes per match.
It's basically "La Grange" by ZZ Top.
And Smokin by Boston
Windham used "La Grange" as entrance music at one point, I guess this was WCW's knock-off version to get out of paying royalties.
I correct you. Those pretenders ZZ Top ripped this theme off Windham and then used it to get filthy rich. The bastards.
Think ZZ could sue
totally NOT a ripoff of the song by Boston
I liked the Anthrax version, WCW? Not really
This theme song was awful lol
