(remember the NWA territories of World Class Texas, Georgia, Mid Atlantic, Central States, St. Louis Club, Florida, Central States, Mid Southern, Mid South, Pacific Northwest, California, Canada, New Japan, All Japan?). What if David Von Erich had not died? Could Fritz Von Erich's World Class NWA sanction promotion had stopped the monopoly of Jim Crockett's World Championship area monopoly? Remember pre-Starrcade '83' and the infamous post '83' NWA Board of Directors board meeting? David Von Erich was suppose to have a long World Title reign. Too bad he died in Japan of a drug overdose. Had David had his two year title reign into 1986, the NWA's unity would have continued and the WWF would still be No. 2 . The NWA would have lived on into the super power instead of a minor league it is today, except for TNA: Total Nonstop Action with Jeff Jarrett and Sting, etc. What do you think?

I hear ya. Did'nt watch too much WCW/NWA circa 1980's back then. WWF/WWE had more influence. But I loved the Dusty Rhodes/Rick Flair & The Four Horsemen fueds. Sting in his blond surfer persona was always fun to watch.

I miss all those old days. I've loved wrestling my entire life, and that's a long, long time. I enjoyed watching so many of these guys, and I mourned each one as they met their deaths. It seems like a lot of wrestlers die young, probably because they tend to overindulge on the pain killers & other drugs to help with pain.
I miss the days of the smaller promotions. I watched Jeff Jarrett grow up, as well as dozens of others who are now growing older. It sure brings mortality to the fore.

I DO!!!!!!!!! This was the peak of wrestling!!! Real wrestling, minus the drama and theatrics of today!!! Those athletes from that era....were and are in a class by themselves!!! The superstars today can not hold a candle to them!!! I grew up watching Jim Crockett's Mid-Atlantic shows...Flair---Mulligan...The Anderson Bros..Johnny Weaver..Paul Jones..>Wahoo McDaniel...on and on...the absolute best!!!!!!!
