If wrestling was still like this id still watch it, the new stuff is just unwatchable for me. Growing up i was obsessed with wrestling, I remember watching Georgia Championship Wrestling on TV at my grandparents house. I lived in Atlanta for a couple year's as a kid and sat on the floor 3 rows back from ringside for Starcade 89 future shock at the Omni. As an 8 year old kid it was almost surreal.
This Is About 4 Years Before The Hulkster Became The WWF Champ 🏆 When He Defeated The Iron Shiek And The Rest ......Is What They Call 'History' And A Lil Thing They Called 'HulkMania' 💯💪🏆💵💰🇺🇸
Mr. Wrestling 2's promo is reminiscent of Nick Bockwinkel. As I was watching, I was thinking: "Why is that cadence and delivery so familiar?" Never noticed until just now. . .
12/25/1980 ( GCW ) Atlanta Georgia Omni Coliseum: NWA Georgia Heavyweight Title Match: Tony Atlas ( Champion 10//24/1980 - ?/??/1981 ) defeated Kevin Sullivan ( NWA National Television Champion 11/29/1980- 1/16/1981 )
I remembered ted disease and Robert fuller. They were tag-team partners They had history against the freebirds .The freebirds was a tough group and they were dangerous
Mr wrestling no#2 was my favorite. He had a cool demeanor. I remembered mr wrestling no #2 he had history with the Mongolian stomper. The Mongolian stomper was a brute and dangerous in the ring.
Freddie Blassie: said Brain scrambled and GOOFY about Andre... 🤣 🤣 i hear the word goofy so much in 2024! The legend of Freddie Blassie lives on in 2024! Going through your catelog of territories.. this ones a classic! 💪
He most definitely would have been happy to have a Lifetime NOMAAM membership! Oh, the zingers he would have inflicted on Bud, Steve and Marcy... not to mention the plumper ladies at the shoe store...

Blassie was a big star in Georgia at one time.
Multiple time Georgia champion in the 1950's
Cool to see Blassie outside the WWF. It's too bad little footage exists of his prime years in California.
Incredible. This indeed Georgia Championship Wrestling

Mr. Wrestling 2. Devil Blue (1985). Coincidence?....
Perhaps the only time I've seen Hulk Hogan not speaking during a promo segment.

Steve Kerin and Tony Atlas are tag team partners, love this period of wrestling.
And The Million Dollar Man doing Babyface. That 30 grand must have been what got him started on the road to Heel Legend

That WWF footage was from BEFORE September 1980 because Hulk and Andre had their big blowoff match at Shea Stadium the month prior.
