For I must be travelling on now, because there’s so much World Class left to see….this week covers the debut of Michael Hayes as the first Freebird to land in WCCW in the October 16, 1982 edition of World Class Championship Wrestling TV!
- How the crowd reacted to Michael Hayes as the super cool babyface on his arrival
- Jay Saldi states his case for the Angelo Mosca wing of the Wrestling Broadcasting Hall of Fame with the help of his PWI subscription
- A Ric Flair interview for the ages: cool, calm and collected while being accused of something for which he’d later be a victim
- The sad story of the Magic Dragon
- Referees in WCCW: ranging from barely mobile to putting out a wrestler with one punch
- A tag team match where nobody involved comes close to their potential
- Explaining the Von Erichs by assigning them to baseball positions
- Bugsy McGraw and different parenting in the early 80s
Plus:
- Bonus live commentary in the arena from last Monday’s RAW match between Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe
- A strange but true fact of a celebrity guest at the Sportatorium for this taping, and also why he could be there in the first place
- Picturing Al Madril becoming a celebrity chef
- So many guys in white trunks
- Sports moments of 2008: an embarrassing moment at a baseball game, hockey is reborn in Boston, “anything is possible” as the Kobe Lakers roll over and quit, Chase Utley and cursing at championship parades, and the greatest incomplete pass in NFL history!
- The return of YouTube Comment Theater!
