Growing up in the ‘70s in central Virginia, I religiously watched Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, out of (I think) Greensboro, NC. Chief Wahoo McDaniel, Rufus R. “Freight Train” Jones, a young Ric Flair, and Ricky Steamboat and Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, Paul Orndorff, Ole and Arn Andersen...to me, pro wrestling still has never gotten any better than seeing those guys go at it in some crappy Greensboro TV studio in front of 100 people. I gave up on it in the early ‘90s.

I agree entirely.
Yeah, I remember the old-school “rasslers”...Ric Flair, King Kong Bundy, George “The Animal” Steele, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, etc...and how about real old-school, like Bob Backlund and Bruno Sammartino???
I used to watch WCW with my “redneck” friends back in the mid-1990s...they had some good storylines back then...the NWO and all that...I actually liked Benoit when he was in WCW with the Four Horsemen...he always put on a good show. What a shame he had to go out like he did.
Rasslin’ has gone downhill big time in the last several years...WWE sucks compared to the old NWA and WCW. This Benoit thing may be the final nail in the WWE coffin...good riddance...
