80’s Wrasslin’

By Scott Keith on 15 October 2018

Hey Scott!

I have been itchin’ for some classic 80’s wrasslin’ & I with the wwe network I have plenty to pick from. What would your recommendation be? Mid-South, Mid-Atlantic, GWF, WCCW etc.

Bonus Question: What’s the deal with Smokey Mountain Wrestling on the network? There are only a few episodes available, does WWE own the whole library or does Jim Cornett own the rest? Will we ever see the whole run on the network?

Vince owns the complete SMW library and I'm sure we'll see it someday, but it's not exactly content that people are clamoring for as a feature release on the Network. We still don't even have the full run of Prime Time or Heat, for example.

Anyway, for 80s wrestling, you can't go wrong with World Championship Wrestling from 1985 onwards. Great angles, tons of Four Horsemen and Road Warriors promos, and some future stars.
