33. "Today's wrestlers can't compare to the glory days of the 80's, when Ric Flair was in his prime, The Four Hoursemen were dominant, and the NWA had the highest rated program on WTBS."

33a) Actually, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich was always my personal favorite. For tag teams, I was partial to The Samoans.

I was a fan of Rich's in the early 80's, but he really let himself go once Ted Turner bought the promotion from Jim Crockett. Looked like he hadn't seen the inside of a gym in ages.

Hey NYC GOP Chick, you must have grown up down south if you remember Tommy Rich, for a long while the youngest NWA Champion ever!

I confess, no one was happier than me when Handsome Harley Race beat the upstart a few weeks after his title win to regain the NWA title! Harley ruled!

I'm with you on the Samoans! One of the greatest tag teams ever!

I always liked the bad guys, I confess - more personality, and I could always relate to them more! ;-)
