I remember when it was Georgia Championship Wrestling and later the National Wrestling Alliance, and they held matches in the TBS studios on Williams St. Tony and Gordon Solie were the bomb on Saturday nights.

Grew up watching NWA/WCW. 80's and 90's. Man that was good stuff.
Then wrestling got super stupid and I never really watched again. It's a hard pill to realize that a lot of these guys that were your heroes were a bunch of drug addicts.
Have went back and watched some of the old matches on YT and Netflix though just for childhood nostalgic purposes.

I got my dad a Roku a couple of years ago, and after he tore through all of the old Elvis movies, I taught him to look for GCW/NWA shows on YouTube. Teach a man to fish, and he'll wear out his new recliner watching Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair kill each other.

Great stuff. If Pro-Wrestling was still like that I'd watch it. Even old WWF stuff is cool. I loved when they'd do a Saturday Night Main Event. I'd also tune in on Channel 36 every Saturday night for "Superstars of Wrestling" which was a local show hosted by Joe and Bonnie and you'd get like 8 hours of pro wrestling from across the country. You'd get the VonErich's out of Dallas, Jerry Lawler out of Memphis, Hawksaw JD and Dr. Death Steve Williams out of Tulsa, Wildcat Wendell Cooley out of Alabama.
Superstars of Wrestling
Ultimately I think it was the dying out of the regional associations in order to go with the direction of Vince McMahon's WWE that killed it for me. As well as just kind of growing up and letting some things I deemed boyish at the time go.

Was the hugest Sting fan. Wrestling's greatest babyface well except for Steamboat.

Agreed, nationalization of wrestling killed the very thing that made regional circuits great in order to homogenize the product to compete with the coast-to-coast appeal of the WWF.

I would go to the J & J Center out on the Commerce Highway to watch wrasslin live. $1 fishbowl beers and ringside seats. Great entertainment.

My Dad took me to a card one time at a local high school in the mid-80's. "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell was the main guy there that night. Jerry was local boy that made it pretty big in Minneapolis' AWA. One of my favorite memories of my father who I lost this year.

Mid South Wrestling and Georgia Championship Wrestling at the Omni Coliseum were my favorites.
Remember Mike Jackson? I don't believe I ever saw him win a match on GCW.

Loved the Mulkeys! One year the stars aligned for them and they won the tag-team championship via the Bunkhouse Stampede, IIRC.
The Rock & Roll Express and Road Warriors were my favorites. R&RE vs the Midnight Express battles back and forth were epic.
ETA - Jim Cornette can EABOD.

I'm with you on everything you posted. Cornette was so annoying.
Do you remember the scaffold match between the ME and the Road Warriors? That was total insanity to those 9 year old eyes of mine.

Starrcade '86. Night of the Skywalkers! It was at the Omni. I was actually there. They simulcast the bouts from Charlotte that night too.
Fun fact - Jim Cornette actually blew out his knee on that drop from the scaffold. Wasn't how that was supposed to go down.

Yeah I saw an interview somewhere he supposed to have gotten caught by Big Bubba and wound up really hurting himself.
