I had a variety of promotions 2 watch back in the day, the WWF, NWA, AWA, WCCW UWF & Florida Championship Wrestling. while the WWF had the better production & mainstream popularity, I have 2 say the NWA (Jim Crockett Promotions) while I was a Hulkamaniac during that era, I saw Ric Flair & Dusty Rhodes in action on TV more than I did Hogan, SNME made it seem more like a privilege 2 see the Hulkster, however, I enjoyed every single promotion that I had the opportunity 2 watch, because they all brought something different 2 wrestling @ the time. World Class Championship Wrestling kept me anticipating the following weeks with the Von Erich/Freebirds feud, with the AWA it was all about Curt Hennig & the Midnight Rockers, un4tunately, Greg Gagne wasn't believable as a wrestler IMO. but getting back 2 JCP, I have 2 agree, Dusty Rhodes was one of the GREATEST f*cking minds in professional wrestling @ that time coming up with Starrcade & the Great American Bash, but it wasn't just about Dusty, he had the right guys in that promotion 2 keep me glued 2 my seat every week, the Road Warriors especially. it was just sad 2 see the career of Magnum TA abruptly cut short B4 he reached his full potential. what I miss the most about the NWA was their World Championship Wrestling program on WTBS in the studio, that was as real as it got right there. FCW, while they had their own stars, was an extension of the NWA, nevertheless, it was non stop action as well, along with the UWF. as 4 ECW, what can I say? they were ahead of their time. I loved & deeply miss the territorial era of pro wrestling.
