My favorites! I remember staying up until midnight to watch a broadcast of Kevin wrestling Ric Flair until the time limit; one hour. Their story is tragic. They should do a movie about 'em.

They should run that movie on ESPN classic like they did the Pete Rose Story.

Man I was a BIG wrestling fan as a kid...Midnight Express, Rock and Roll Express, Magnum TA, Dusty Rhodes, Super Fly Jimmy Snooka, Rodney "Hands of Stone" Garvin, Legion of Doom, and of course the Nature Boy Rick Flair...man let me find out I got some old school wrestling fans on here...

Midnight Express had the alltime best intro music.

How'd it go?
I always like Kerry Von Erich's and the Road Warriors' intros. And when Ric Flair used to wrestle with Ole and Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard they had this hot porn music instrumental intro.

I'll try to find a link of the Midnight Express intro music. It was the same music from the motion picture Mightnight Express.
BTW: Anybody remember when Jimmy Cornett (The mouth of the south) hit Baby Doll in the stomach with a tennis racket while she was pregnant. Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA got pissed when that happened and formed some cowboy alter egos. I think they called themselves the Midnight Riders are something. The would always storm into the ring during a Midnight Express match, wearing trench coats, cowboys hats and face masks.
That was the illest.

B Brian Blair and some other dude.
What about The birdman, Koko B Ware? I think he had a curl.
My sister used to babysit for Ernie Ladd. That's when I knew wrestling was fake. That dude was too big to be getting his a$$ whupped every week inside of 10 minutes like that.

I still wonder how they decided who would win each match. Did they flip a coin backstage or did that take some secret fan poll?

I never like the WWF back in the day. This sounds crazy but I thought they were too theatrical as compared to NWA. NWA was just straight up a$$ kicking fun. The worst part about the NWA was they would always tease you and say they were running out of time and they would have to give you an update the following week. Meanwhile Dusty Rhodes is getting his a$$ whooped by the Four Horseman as the camera fades to black.

I didn't care for WWF either. Same reason.

The only matches that were settled on television were non-title matches. Remember, this was before they had pay-per-view TV and they needed an incentitive to get people in the arenas.
