My post centered around my NWA youth. Growing up in Oklahoma, we had the local Tri-States wrestling that became Mid-South then UWF. We were early adopters of Cable, since there really isn't shit to do here for a city boy. Lots to do if you are in the country. I had a lot of fun in the country! I got to see some WCCW, AWA, Central States, and AWA, too, especially when I stayed in St. Louis during the late 70s/early 80s during the summer and on Christmas break. My grandparents lived in St. Louis.
Anyway... More ramblings from my almost-50-year-old ass:
The Von Erich/Freebird feud was great.
Von Erichs vs Chris Adams and Gino Hernandez was really hot until cocaine did Gino in.
I always loved Cowboy Bill Watts, and he came out of retirement a few times to put a hurtin' on the Midnight Express, the Blade Runners (Sting and Ultimate Warrior), and Ted Dibiase.
Mr. Wrestling II vs the Masked Superstar! What a great mask vs mask feud!
Mr. Wrestling II vs Magnum TA.
Magnum TA vs Tully Blanchard was already mentioned. Magnums last feud was with Nikita Koloff, and it was just as good. When Magnum was car-wrecked out of wrestling, Dusty took Nikita as his partner, and it was great.
Ernie Ladd had some great feuds, as did Dick Murdoch. Both of them were tremendous at cutting promos!
Ladd had a cool feud with a young, babyface Paul Orndorff.
I did get to see some of the big house shows the WWF had on the USA network. They used to show house shows from Madison Square Garden, the Boston Garden, and the Philadelphia Spectrum. I got to see Andre vs Big John Studd's blow-off cage match from one of these shows.
