ECW probably. but GCW have done a good job of picking up the mantle of extreme no fucks given wrestling.
Hey partsfunknown , I have a similar idea , do top 10 Japanese promotion that were huge in 90s but died during 2000s aka the mma boom.
WCW as Main
For Indys then WCPW/Defiant
WCPW was a rare gem amongst the cole in 2016. WHY CHANGE IT TO "DEFIANT"???
@@JaimeD. it all went downhill after the og crew left
I really want Adam to do a full podcast talking about his WCPW memories and sharing some unheard stories, like Cultaholic did when Defiant officially closed
He did a review show of Loaded shows on the patreon, wish they were more readily available
He did an extended podcast with Luke Owen as a Patreon exclusive
@@MultiClassGeek I looked for that awhile ago and couldn't find it, it appears they took it down.
@@kingofthecommentsection8056 I checked, it's still there. WCPW Built To Destroy, posted 17 July 2020
Link to cultaholic one
Adam casually mentioning WCPW, god I miss that sometimes.
WCPW died cuz of UA-cam not WWE they just trying too hard to be important
@@JM-fr5ge Doesn’t mean I can’t miss when it started
The real forbidden door
Can you please explain why my scrotum is cold?
WCPW was insane as it exposed me to pretty much everyone in the British scene beyond those who'd already broken through like Sabre Jr., Ospreay, and yes Grado. However I saw so many new faces, some I'll omit due to later issues but hey I'll always love WCPW for introducing me to Joe Hendry, Pete Dunne, and the legend Big Damo.
I remember watching Kirby/Ospreay 1 and loving it. Made me a huge Martin Kirby fan, wish I could've seen more of his work
@@diabeticman2194 Kirby was great how he went from despised to beloved. He worked his ass off.
Honestly, the Speaking Out movement did a LOT of damage to the UK wrestling scene, rightly so, but its insane to think back and see how many big names were predators and creeps
@@Lynch2507 yeah I don't wanna talk trash, but there was a noticable chunk of talent that weren't behaving properly sadly.
Am I lame for discovering Grado via TNA British Boot Camp?
The ruining of AWA isn't recognized enough. Beyond Hogan, they lost a hall of fame class: The Rockers, Road Warriors, Perfect, Slaughter, Rick Martel, Adrian Adonis. A generational ravishing. For the first decade of my wrestling random, I was told by WWE that Mr. Perfect was "the greatest wrestler to never win a world title". What an insult.
Wasn't Scott Hall there too?
"Mean" Gene Okerlund. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
Junkyard Dog. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Scott Hall.
You can go on and on and on with the amount of talent Vince McMahon snatched away from the AWA.
@@lightning116 wasn't ricky in JCP before his fed run?
To be fair Verne Gagne's stubbornness in refusing to move with the times ruined the AWA more than WWF as was then ever did. NWA/WCW was successfully able to merge old and new school wrasslin' for a while, AWA never could. Arguably the AWA killed itself.
@@TheGilgameshepic Sounds familiar.
Adam, you need to do a podcast on WCPW/Defiant. You have so many stories and I know that when Defiant was disbanded, several big names and legends had memories of their time there.
Can we give wwe credit for destroying WCW? I mean….WCW did A LOT to kill themselves.
Yep they were just terrible bookers
Exactly what I was thinking, they pretty much did everything in their power to kill the company before WWE bought them out.
True. WWE's purchase of WCW could've been seen as assisted suicide.
If wwe won that war, it was only because they were being beaten by the spoilt representative of a billionaire with an ace to grind and once wwf started to actually respond with a couple of punches the billionaires operation just absolutely tanked. Wwe will get beaten up for a while, but show resilience and fight and wcw are just beating a dead horse until the horse reveals it isn't dead and then wcw just suck their thumb and get completely destroyed. What an absolutely shitty war really lol, all wwf had to dp was buck up their ideas a bit and wcw had the white flags ready. That was a pathetic company, they had some extra wcw shows with panelists like Bobby Heenan, Schiavone and others and it was all so self defeating, the leadership in that company just wilted as soon as things got a little tougher. That wasn't a war, it was an invasion where as soon as one country started driving out the other country the other country just fell apart.
Well let’s not pretend WWE weren’t going through their most popular period in their history with some of the biggest stars in wrestling history putting on some of the most iconic matches in wrestling history
I think it’s safe to say that WWE is the EA of wrestling companies.
If life were fair, EA would never have gotten that kind of power. But bravo sir, this is a fantastic analogy.
they honestly do act exactly like EA when you look very closely at the things they say and do
they tried to monopolize an entire industry and all the while they buried everyone from those promotions except a handful of Vince's chosen only to sit here and question why people aren't watching and think that everything is fine when it really isn't
More like disney
WWE is also like Microsoft, Google or Disney. The companies that really want to control the world and enslave our minds.
Look, I enjoyed WCPW with Adam Blampied and the Cultaholic OGs. When the show became "Defiant Wrestling", I felt a certain emptiness and didn't feel the same. And, it wouldn't surprise me WWE created NXT UK in 2017 to take away the very best from ICW, Rev-Pro UK, PROGRESS and WxW, etc, and damage those territories before even the pandemic happened in 2020.
Multiple birds killed (or at least severely injured) with one black-and-gold stone. As Adam says, you don’t blame the talent for taking that Vince McMoney, but it does hurt the Indy scene
@@MultiClassGeek Oh no, is no problem aiming for the big money. Is just that, they become chained to the promotion and are being moved around like chess pieces until the player (Vince) removes them from his board where he "wins" by any means.
@@MultiClassGeek thats why i respect john moxley he even said himself they really made him walk away from all that money when he left the wwe he showed he loves the business more than that vince mcmoney
WCPW was the vibe of 2016 for me. It was how I got into indie wrestling and most of all, all the amazing talent WCPW had.
A mistake to not include OVW. How WWE relegated Johnny ace to completely destroy the future they were trying to provide in wrestling gets immensely unsung. Their fans literally kept on writing in “why when our favorite guys go to the WWE do they get treated like garbage?” To the point where they would rather they stay in OVW than see WWE ruin them.
notice a trend with a certain Black and Gold Brand?
Yes...but WWE either created OVW or bought it with the intention of making it their developmental promotion so it doesn't count
You can also give some of the blame to David Starr being exposed and COVID. David Starr was the undeniable face of the promotion after Jordan Devlin left and his loss basically killed the company Stone dead.
@@mackisepic3279 this is not Over the top (OTT) wrestling, this is Ohio valley wrestling (OVW). Mr.starr did not work for the company OVw when it was wwe's development ground. Minor mistake and a totally understandable one.
@@funnseeker8494 oh yeah, I got them mixed up
WCPW was pivotal in sparking my interest for indie wrestling, and legitimately gave us some dream matches in it's short lived tenure. Also, it gave us heel manager Blampied which is obviously **chefs kiss** delicious
This! I had kinda been out of wrestling for years after losing interest in... 2003? I think? and WCPW actually got me back into it, and that first main event storyline was *so good* - big kudos to Adam taking that powerbomb too, it was the perfect exclamation point on the end of that.
It's almost impressive how remorselessly ruthless and cutthroat Vince McMahon was in building his empire, almost
I think it was partly learned and partly built off of countering the natural order the NWA was running at the time
If your not familiar just reading about how they ran things in the earlier decades before WWWF or AWA formed, they were a REALLY ruthless organization all things considered
I mean controversial as he may be I’d like to believe Shane Douglas’ side of the story of when they tried to control the narrative at the show where he threw down the NWA belt
You can add Lutte Internationale in Quebec, Canada, where McMahon stole the Rougeaus, Dino Bravo, and Rick Martel in the mid-80's
Thanks for the mention of giant haystacks, great granddad doesn't get enough credit for being as big as he was in the UK
He was my all time fave when I watched those shows with my Dad on Saturday evenings!
He was big wherever he went, though.
Are you ACTUALLY his great granddaughter?
@@ArcaneAzmadi I also wanna know
@@ArcaneAzmadi no she’s probably not even a she. Probably some fat 40 year old man pretending to be a girl behind his computer as a fetish.
By far, the promotion I miss the most is WCW. Not so much for the last three years of its existence (or the equally dreadful 1995), but the periods of 1992-1994 and 1996-1998 WCW were what made me a wrestling fan in the first place. In addition to my all-time favorite wrestler in Sting, 1992 WCW also had a terrific midcard with the likes of "Stunning" Steve Austin, "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes and Cactus Jack, among others. Jump ahead to WCW's best year ever in 1997, and you've got their greatest long-term angle with the nWo vs. Sting along with (once again) a spectacular midcard. I'm having loads of fun nowadays with AEW, but I don't know that they can ever reach the heights that WCW once did.
AEW have made it clear that they don't want to be at war with WWE so they may never go that far
that said AEW is basically the modern day WCW since most of their shows are in contention with WWE for viewers and are definitely going to continue getting better as time moves on but if another "war" were to start with them and WWE it'll definitely be WWE that strikes first given AEW want to just do their own thing
AEW exists in the digital age of the internet and social media. What it took WCW and WWF decades to get as big as they are, AEW will grow even faster in even less time.
@Christopher Marriott:
The problem is that digital content gives viewers so much to choose from, meaning that pro wrestling has a much tougher time finding a mainstream audience.
Plus modern viewers simply don't have the same attention span, and the death of kayfabe makes it harder for casual fans to get invested. It's not impossible for wrestling to attain a boom period again, but it's unlikely to happen until it is seen as cool again.
@@Rocket1377 somebody needs to re-watch the interview that launched The Attitude Era.
Still mindblowing for me that TNA/Impact! is still going :D
'Professional Cloud Yeller' Jim Cornette
He might enjoy that nickname.
I will always miss NXT, early 2015 NXT is what got me back into wrestling.
God, that intro makes me hopefull about a Simon Miller and Adam colab. Please. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. Come on. It will be the best thing. Better than sliced bread. And we all know it. Thanks.
One love ❤️
Supermarket Sweep is a DEEP cut
WCPW got me back into wrestling. After Defiant folded I tried to get back into WWE and just couldn't. Then I heard about AEW and now I watch whenever I can.
are you one of the 150k viewers who stopped watching
I really like all your videos, but I like this one extra. It's a nice way to help explain wrestling to newer fans. Keep up the good work!
Loved the Tom and Jerry references. The true 7* breaking the Meltzer scale of golden age animation.
These list videos are always the best parts of the week but this video is especially interesting to see how WWE formed itself at the expense of Indy promotions. Great stuff here guys hope we can get more stuff like this or “10 Wrestlers that slept with your dad” in the future!
What Adam is saying is, Wrestletalk is starting professional wrestling promotion with Adam as the booker.
I went to WCPW Stacked ‘17 in Leeds on a whim, mainly because Rey Mysterio was making an appearance against Ricochet and I loved watching him as a kid. I’m so glad I went, the whole night was such a great laugh; War Machine’s Hanson dove over the top road into the crowd during their match with the Briscoes and kicked me square in the gut in doing so 😂 such a shame WCPW’s no longer about, what a cracking little promotion it was too 👍🏻
WCPW, my man. Before I got back into wrestling I saw a bunch of names I’d later discover were absolutely incredible were performing a ten minute drive from my house. I missed so much, and could have seen so much more if it had managed to survive :(
(Unrelated, fun fact: it was Adam and Jules coming to play D&D at Brew Dog one night, and the conversations that spawned from that game, which got me back into wrestling!)
I pray every day that AEW doesn’t suffer the same fate
I remember at the WC meet up around one of the Manias y'all asked who should the title go to next because WWE just signed Drew who had your belt. I said put it on Jack and see if the WWE would sign him since they just seemed to be poaching every WCPW Champion.
Supermarket Sweep was awesome
I find it fitting that the Raw logo in the thumbnail background meshes so well with the other shows ruined by WWE. For a second I thought it was deliberate 😆
You're a mean one, Mr. Vince
There was one video of him being nice, 12 teams got emotional
I would not be remiss if there was an entire Top 10 based on WCPW stories.
Of all the Wrestling Promotions no longer around the 1 I miss the most is WCW before Vince Russo came to destroy it. That was very much intentional and most likely he was paid to do so in order for WCW to lose money and fans
I know making that NXT 1.0 Joke hurt you, Adam.
It's okay.
It still hurts me too.
It still hurts many of us.
And it still hurts like a bitch.
This might be the most wrestling history I've ever learnt and all in 10 minutes, I'd love more!
yeah this is going to be good, holy history!!! here for it, thank you Adam!!!
I agree with Jim cornette on Ecw. their problem was their stuff was so demanding that itwas almost impossible to topwhat they'd done on previous shows and it was injuring the talent to much! you gotta take care of the talent because without them you don't have a show.
Funnily enough Foley said that during his ECW run he was relatively healthy compared to WWF's meatgrinder schedule.
@@KruelAidMan honestly that seems to be what AEW is aiming to be
A nice middle ground
By them having neither as much a demanding schedule, lacking a Saudi deal so no required oversea shows nor 12 or more PPVs a year, and being more teen to adult oriented
They can provide more extreme and hardcore wrestling and spots alongside greater more diverse match ups while getting a laxer schedule to give people time to heal
And also unlike WWE since they have a diverse set of tiers if someone needs time off for one reason or another, like when Mox too time off to take care of his alcoholism for 3 months, plenty of people filled the hole he left without making it a big deal
Where’s as last nights RAW, 3/7/22, felt quite lacking without Becky, Brock, Ronda, Charlotte, or Roman seeing as they are the only really major pushed stars in main event caliber
@@arashitendou5941 AEW spent months without its previous 2 world champs (and one month didn't even have the champ before that) which is every former world champ in the company and they didn't miss a beat.
@@KruelAidMan pretty much
Great video Adam 👍🏻
One thing that we know for sure is that no matter how easy people think running a promotion is, it’s one of the hardest things in the world and Vince deserves a lot of credit for keeping his company as the alpha dog for all these years
The man hardly sleeps. He lives in a bubble with little to no knowledge of the outside world. He's had to deal with numerous legal issues.
He's been doing this for four decades now.
It's no wonder he's completely insane.
Vinnie Mac is the most important man in the history of the business and this fact makes Indie marks seethe
@@Hempujonsito He is the most important man in the history of the business. He's also ruining the industry by crushing other companies AND putting out the worst product WWE ever has. And it doesn't take an "indie mark" to see this - I grew up on WWE. I'm willing to bet most "indie marks" became such when after years (or more) of dissatisfaction with the drizzling shits pouring out of WWE they finally decided to find an alternative. It's what I did.
I remember hearing UK promoter Alex Shane tell a story about how he had a little UK tour lined up and was doing Coventry, only for WWE (for the only time ever) to run Coventry a week or two before hand and it totally killed their ticket sales.
Yes, they really are that petty a company. They will spitefully run against anyone they want for no reason.
WCPW was my first introduction to British wrestling and I will aways be grateful for it.
When he said NXT 1.0 I felt it 😪
You could have added DSW "Deep South Wrestling" This was a former WWE Farm Fed owned by Jody Hamilton known as the Assassin. They killed it by pulling all of the their talent when Hamilton attempted to begin his own PPV's in 2007.
Milton Keynes Ice rink, 2017 RO16. The night I truly fell back in love with Indie wrestling.
I really wouldn't give WWE credit for destroying ECW and WCW. Bad financial decisions destroyed ECW. Bad business and bad hiring decisions destroyed WCW.
Well a combo of the financial and just their tv deal was absolute trash from the network side
Accounts have been confirmed from former employees of the Nashville network’s side that their higher ups were basically screwing over Paul and ECW
I got to see the WCPW show they held in Orlando the week of WrestleMania 33 (which had a Drew Galloway match). That was neat (it was even my first eHarmony date).
Adam bringing up Whatculture brought back such nostalgia. I do miss the og Whatculture crew.
Finally Adam openly talking about WCPW!!! LEZGO!!!
WCPW was definitely a once in a lifetime Indie wrestling promotion.
Love hearing Adam on these videos! 😁
Talking about SMW, Cornette always saiid that he never wanted it to be a nation wide promotion and wanted to keep it like a territory. They would also sell out the Louisville gardens frequently.
He said the same thing about OVW, and has often lamented that the disbanding of the territory system was the beginning of the end for the true pro wrestling business.
@Wasp Factory a tennis racket is meant to send a ball coming in at several miles back, he was charged for assault for defending himself with ur "goofy" tennis racket. try and take a hit by a full force racket some time, i swear it's more than a bonk
@@daleharris3809 yeah it allowed ppl to cycle in and out, but the internet wuld have eventually destroyed the territories anyway
@@ANXTREME Yeah nowadays no one ever comes out of nowhere to become a star.
@@daleharris3809 yeah and that's what JC said about HOOK's debut that this how good it can get like a star outta nowhere
Funny enough, we had Supermarket Sweep in the US as well, different host of course... but so wild to see that reference.
NXT 1.0? You mean the competitive reality tv show? Also, I knew WCW would be number 1
And WWE claims that they're not anti-competition. Jesus.
And brainwash their hardcore fans into believing that dirty, underhanded, sometimes illegal tactics ARE competition.
This is how and why the fanbase is completely brainwashed. They been fed BS since John Cena arrived. And the brainwashing has gotten so much worse through the years. Like it presents itself as a kids PG show, yet there has never been this much pro-satanic symbolism in it before. It's F'N disgusting. Even in TV14 attitude era, there was less pro-satanic meanings and symbolism. Just Kane, Taker, and the brood. But in this "kids era" you got so much possessions, people speaking in reverse, people with "a evil dark side", demonic characters telling us to "join them", flashing the pyramid with the eye, everything seems to be about losing yourself to your inner darkness. That should not be in a show for kids, wtf.
Adam just talking about WCPW again is just nice
The man made peace after being away from the internet and has done a spectacular job with partsFUNknown and Wrestle Talk since 2020.
I was die-hard WCPW in the day. Die Jungen Lowen Vs War Machine is still one of my favourite tag matches ever, and Martin Kirby's insane babyface run is still one of my favourite organic face turns in wrestling.
Georgia Championship Wrestling can be more blamed on Jim Crockett Promotions being sold to Ted Turner than anything Vince did. JCP was doing record business and record TBS ratings AFTER TBS dumped Vince and put JCP back on in it's place. As for ECW, that wasn't on WWE either. ECW couldn't make money, and most stars weren't even getting paid for weeks on end.
WWE and WWF have been talent raiding since the 80's when Vince bought WWF from his father. There is a book called "Death of The Territories" about that very thing. It's fantastic.
The book "Nitro" is about WCW from 1995's launch of "Monday Nitro" until WCW's dissolution. Not just the creative side, but the financial nuts and bolts. Great book on how WCW was managed. Worth every penny.
Haha I remember Supermarket Sweep! My mom used to have me watch that and Saved By The Bell on days I didn't have school
Crazy that they mentioned wcpw and really other companies will join them
I miss the 2016 rebirth of WOS on ITV!
It gave stars like Piper Niven, Sha Samuels, and even Grado that mainstream TV push they needed. The Austin/Vincent escue rivalry between Grado and Stu was perfect for what it was.
One of the best times for wrestling
Oh man, I really miss Southpaw Regional Wrestling. There was they're iconic backstage duo of Lance Catamaran and... His partner. Then there was... Some sort of farmhand... I think a guy from a bank? There were two guys with mullets... It's funny, I can't recall their names. It's almost like they've been cast from my mind by some sort of dark force...
*Their. I gotta start proofreading before I post.
Correction on #5: USWA was actually a merger between WCCW and CWA out of Memphis and way originally co-owned and Kevin Von Erich and Jerry Jarrett. Jerry Lawler made regular appearances because he was the CWA's top draw. WCCW actually pulled out of the partnership in 1990, leaving the company to essentially be a re-branded CWA. The WWE co-promotion stuff happened in 1992 and is what eventually led Jerry Lawler to go to WWE.
Oh this will be a good one.
Adam, I got a mini Fantasy Booking suggestion for you. "How WWE Should Book: The Undertaker's HOF Induction". The obvious is Marky Moo coming out and speaking. But it'd be strange. I'd like to hear your take. Plus, I just need more Undertaker nicknames.
to me what killed WCW was that AOL Time warner merger, and them not wanting it on the network anymore
Because WCW fans didn't watch any other show on TNT, and TNT viewers didn't watch WCW. There was no cross over so there was no reason to keep them on the network
@@MrSniperfox29 that as well didnt help
@@spookerredmenace3950 That's what made the decision, if there had been a cross over appeal, then they might have stayed.
Obviously Turner losing power and not being able to stop anyone from shutting down "his" WCW is important, but from a business perspective following that you can at least understand the logic.
@@MrSniperfox29 oh i do , i very much do. its annoying then people say oh its the bad wrestling that killed it no, many things like the merger, and what you said were the 2 of 4 key events that killed WCW off
Fun fact, I went to mania axxes in 2016 (mania 32) didn’t meet too many big names.. only one I brag about is PAC (Neville) but the person I’m most excited about meeting is Adam. My man has brought me joy since 2015!
I was subscribed but then you let Tempest on the channel. So now I only watch on the weekends when I know I’ll at least get Adam content.
I remember going to Stampede Wrestling in the late 90's, early 2000's in high school and a little after. We had a great time, to be fair, but I couldn't name a single wrestler we saw other than a well passed his prime Cuban Assassin (who seemed like he was having a great time, to be honest).
Why you say he looked like he was having a great time? I'm curious on the story 😁
@@pizzahighfive2612 Well, he was supposed to be a heel that night, but he was smiling ear to ear almost all night. I honestly don't know more than that, maybe he was just coming back after some injury, maybe he had a run in with a rat before the show, I have no idea, but something seemed to be making him really happy.
I miss ECW but I know for the little time it had it was awesome..Which is why GCW is the successor of said ECW in their own special way...
Not just the uk we had supermarket sweep in the states too
NXT UK is far too good for people to be throwing shade as if it's bad. How quickly people forget that it consistently puts out amazing matches including the absolute best matches of the 2020's so far in WALTER vs Dragunov.
At what cost? It's the ultimate monument to WWE's cursed 2016-2019 philosophy of "more is more." Great wrestling yes, but for how awful it ended up being for the business as a whole, I can't watch it on principal alone.
@@KendallMcNeilClark Yet WWE killed the entire concept of territory based wrestling, and I'll guarantee you still watched it. Wrestling fandom in general has dwindled to a handful of its prime years, and I'll bet you still watch it. And solely blaming WWE for that is foolish, because if it were the case then other, supposedly better companies would still be in that golden years high.
You don't watch NXT UK because you can't be bothered, and you have a neatly wrapped excuse lathered with fake morality.
Come on, man. They didn't even sign them to exclusive contracts. WALTER performed on Progress as UK Champion and that's just the one I know. I'll bet there were way more still performing elsewhere while signed to WWE. It's why this whole Forbidden Door nonsense is BS too.
I ranted a bit, so sorry for that.
good video
I need a WCPW one night stand with Adam cutting a Paul heyman type shoot promo 😂
0:21 WILD BOAR SIGHTING!
Man WCPW it might've lived do fast and died so young but it was a helluva to watch tho and it came at a good time seeing as indie wrestling in both the states and the UK was experiencing that boom period WCPW was smack dab in the middle of it. I'll always be grateful for them introducing me to alot of the UK stars we see today in WWE and AEW and such and its definitely missed.
I'm glad some indie companies are still going strong like GCW because trust me... there's nothing quite like it
Welcome to the impact zone😂
Never did I think I would see the day that an image of Rylan would appear on a PFK video.
Nice to see you back on UA-cam Adam, wasn't expecting to see you on a Jay Foreman video about Tower Bridge either. But it was a happy surprise. Now please don't say anymore stupid s**t to women on social media. Wrestling UA-cam needs you❤️
Hey, the WCPW belt showing on a WrestleTalk show...the Forbidden Door has been opened!
😁
2:00 I’m a simple man; I see someone dunking on NXT UK, I click on the like button.
Adam reminiscing about his Plumpy days.
I'll take it.
Nxt 1.5 (I say that because 1.0 was actually the reality show)
This is the first PartsFUNknown video to have shown up in my recommendations in 9 months, let alone my sub feed or notifications. Redoing my sub and bell, but holy broken shit, UA-cam
When you said world of sport I just thought you meant sport in general at the first and I was like yep.
*WCPW was the reason I got exposed to the British Wrestling scene the likes of Big Damo, Pete Dunne, Will Ospreay, Martin Kirby, Joe Hendry, etc. all those guys, I will always cherish those hyped up moments for when Martin Kirby finally won the big one.*
WCPW.....remember how awesome Cody Rhodes was during that time?
Cody vs Kurt Angle was 🔥
So speaking of WCPW, found a Playlist of every Loaded/Defiant and PPVs in parts. Why would part 1 of the first episode be hidden/not included?
"What a weird and completely factual sentence."
Indeed.
At one point WCPW was my favourite wrestling promotion going and I miss it so much
My wife's uncles were a tag team in Stampede Wrestling during the 60s.
A good list, but the AWA should be higher. At the time of Vince's first raid the AWA was the #1 territory in the country and was on the verge of inking a national prime time wrestling deal with CBS. Vince built his national launch off of AWA talent. It was much more than Hogan, he took Bobby Heenan, Mean Gene, Jessie Ventura and others. On top of this, Vince went to the stations across the country and undercut Verne to take away his huge TV market. After that the AWA continued for a few years, but Vince kept raiding any young talent (such as Sherry Martel or Curt Henning) that they developed. He targeted them much harder than any other U.S. promotion.
I'll always miss the REAL ECW, but I also miss Smokey Mountain Wrestling. In the mid 90s here in Hampton Roads, VA in the States, Channel 62 (I forget the call letters) aired ECW on Saturdays at 5pm local time. However, they also aired pro wrestling weeknights at midnight. One night was ECW, three other small promotions got a slot, and Wednesday night belonged to SMW. The one thing that I remember about the show was that Jim Cornette was managing a big ol' hoss of a wrestler who they named The Punisher. (Me,a huge fan of Frank Castle and his skull tee, recalls that easily. Not much else.) I only tell you this because one thought I had was "Stan Lee is gonna sue somebody."
Hey i did ring crew for both Evolve and Defiant when they was in my backyard! That is where I met Keith Lee, Riddle, etc.
The United States had their own version of Supermarket Sweep, it aired in the 90s on the A&E network.
Ah yes WCPW a UA-cam based wrestling show we all loved back then God I miss it also it showed that if someone hired Adam as a booker they would be an excellent promotion
I was at the very show where Adam took a powerbomb from Rampage with my brother. Refuse to Lose 2016, good times, man
