July 13, 1980: One week before The Big Turn, Dusty Rhodes talks about extending his hand to Ole and Gene Anderson. Things look good right now for The Dream and The Rock against The Assassins and their referee Ivan Koloff. I wonder how things will turn out at The Omni...

So many great ones. But this will always take the cake.

June 26, 1982: Territorial-era pro wrestling always gives a good reminder that a promotion could accomplish a lot in less than two minutes. Here's Sgt Slaughter with Private Kernodle and Private Nelson and Rowdy Roddy Piper, as The Ninja goes shpatziring with his sword.

June 30, 1984: There's never been a man's face that The Big Cat Ernie Ladd wouldn't slap in front of the general public, you understand? And he's also not a Bum Seeker. So stop putting bums in front of him. Especially bad bumping bums.

A classic. Around 1980, KTBS channel 3 in Shreveport, Louisiana ran a feature on Killer Karl Kox, armed with his Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling gear bag and Halliburton. With some classic fan reaction shots we see Kox go to battle with The Grappler whom he was feuding with.
