Since it is off-season, let's get some professional wrestling memories going. From 1981ish to 1987ish, EVERY DANG SATURDAY NIGHT I was glued to my TV, Channel 36, I believe. From 6 pm until midnight, There was varying area wrestling on. My favorite was Mid-South Championship wrestling. Magnum TA, The Road Warriors, The Junk Yard Dog, Piper, Lawler, and my favorite, Jake the Snake. NO ONE got up from his DDT! When I found out that he was from Stone Mountain (I was in Lilburn) it was over. He was immediately my favorite. I used to pull in our small 13-inch, black and white, 25 lb tv with the rabbit ears and watch it in my room, pretending to fall asleep because we had church early Sunday morning. Sometimes I made it all the way through the WWF, as it was the last one that was on. The night started with Tony Schiavone, and they played Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero". Every time I hear that now, I immediately think of that show. Man, what fun it was. Life was good.
Then I discovered girls...and they were not into wrestling.
Anyone else remember watching that?
PS. When I found out that Jim Duggan and The Iron Shiek got busted with cocaine while driving one night, I could not understand it. THEY WERE MORTAL ENEMIES. There was no way they were hanging out together!
