The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Black History Month

So once again this is just a compilation of the random "Legends" and "Shorties" matches that WWE 24/7 shows as standalone programs aside from the TV shows and PPVs. And since the theme for February is Black History Month, the connecting thread here should be easy to pick up on.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling - November 18 1981

- Oh my. With the run of TNT coming to an end, they decided to replace it with yet another awesome hour of NWA action from the early 80s. I don't know why they started here, although this might be the point they moved into the new studio in Charlotte or something.

- Your hosts are Bob Caudle and David Crockett.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Boston Garden - August 3 1985

- This isn't actually "new" per se, but rather a show I taped on 24/7 when I first got the channel in 2007 and was frantically recording everything I could to DVD. Nowadays I only keep the really important stuff. However, I've got a few of these left kicking around I figure I might as well do the review for completeness sake. Those of you without the channel won't know the difference anyway.

- Taped from Boston.

- Your hosts are Mean Gene & Gorilla

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for MSG - October 28 1989

- Live from New York. Weird that they showed the November show a couple of months ago and now they're skipping back to this one. I'm guessing the Macho King in the main event is why.

- Your hosts are Gorilla & Hillbilly. Gah.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - September 6 1986

A reader notes…

"Hey Scott,

Long-time fan of your site and your wrestling writings.

I know you're not a fan of Hogan but do you realize today marks 25 years since Hogan won the title? It's crazy...that was right around the time I started watching wrestling and to think 25 years have passed since then is something else.

Enjoying the NWA Wrestling rants you do the most. That's the show I most look forward to on 24/7."

Thanks, and it's also my favorite show to rant on, so it works out well for everyone.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for Monday Night RAW - October 10 1994

- Back to the REALLY bad period for RAW, with a "Night of Kings" theme from 1994 to celebrate the royalty theme for 24/7 this month.
