I'm from the bootheel of Missouri and frequently go see USA Championship Wrestling cards. What they say is true they still draw a good 1000-1500 on the regular at the Oman Arena.
On the local promotion of cards. I found out about USA Championship Wrestling because of a little.promotional card I saw when I stopped to eat in Jackson on the way to Nashville from the NWA 70th Anniversary. Been regularly going to their cards ever since. For a small regional independent they've got a close to full time operation run house shows every weekend and good talent too as well as a good mix of Mid South legends like Lawler, Doug Gilbert, Dundee, Tommy Rich.
I'm born and raised in the great state of Tennessee and Bert and Jim always was a staple in Tennessee professional wrestling as far as I'm concerned... nuff said
I really enjoyed him talking about those posters still working. there is a huge part of our population that are not hardwired to social media. they are the people that if you win over you have fans. Facebook with the trolls could screw up a blow job. something to be said for old school
I basically grew up at the Nashville Fairgrounds every Saturday night. Me and my dad also would build the ring for Bert for a few weeks when he was at the stockyard. He wasn't joking about the Fanfare weeks. I don't think a lot of wrestling fans have an idea of how many wrestlers went through Bert promotions that are now in bigger promotions and household names. Rest in peace Bert
I love it how he says lawler vs sid was the last real number house not crossfire who drew 1000 people or roh please i don't believe that...i do believe after tna pulled put people didnt come bc they had to pay but over the years when they have to pay again like everything else they will come back out AND PAY if they think it is worth there time
I used to get Music City Wrestling on the independent cable channel in my area. Kinda nostalgic to hear the old "Tonight, tonight, tonight!:
