    All the thousands and thousands of people that write to us every week, shut ins, were role models for America's youth, were Christian athletes, all the civic organizations, the Boy Scout Troops that call us and want us to speak to them." One of the more funny and better Midnight Express promos.

    Classic Dusty Finish. Also, David Crockett just said We'll be back with 8 man cage match right after this. I guarantee their were just 7-10 minutes left in the show. By the time the cage match starts, their are just 2-3 minutes left in the show. No complaining, I loved 80s NWA/JCP. They just did those two things too many times.

  • @bizil100
    @bizil100 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The NWA featured the four definitive teams for their particular style in that generation: (in terms of success gained with that style and influence on the biz).
    LOD- Kickass power tag team
    RnR - Young, smaller, athletic babyface team with great teamwork and high flying
    Midnights - heel technical-ring general team that ALSO had the athletic ability and moveset of the RnR. BUT mixed in the heel tactics with it.
    Tully-Arn- ultimate ground based heel technical ring general team. Mixed the technicial skills, brawling, and heel tactics in an epic manner.
    WWF had the best technician-power wrestler combo team in The Harts. And they had the best all around (athletic ability, power, brawling, technical skills as a package) in ring team in The British Bulldogs. But The Steiners came down the pike and assumed that mantle from the Bulldogs in the late 80's!

  • @Panwere36
    @Panwere36 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    90% of what fans loved about the Attitude Era of the WWE Vince and Vince (if you are a fan you know who those are) out and out stole from the 1982-1990 period where JCP and those allied with them were making more money. WWE may have been setting the PPV standard, but if it hadn't been for bad economic management choices from some and mistreatment of talent from other promoters, this is the kind of wrestling we would still be watching today. I am a fan of all wrestling, but I remember how much (and from whom and where) the two Vinces' stole things from.

      @Panwere36 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yoni123, I am so agreeing with that. The entire "hardcore revolution", though, was through guys like Terry Funk *long before* ECW happened. ECW, however, gave that part of the pro wrestling landscape a voice. It played a major part, no doubt at all.
