The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - September 20 1986

- Your hosts are Tony & David.

- We have apparently skipped a week, as the show kicks off with footage of Paul Ellering slapping Jim Cornette on the September 13 show, and we didn't get that one.

- The Bill & Budro Show kick things off by promising to win the US tag titles and challenge Ric Flair for the millionth time.

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 World Championship Wrestling - August 30 1986

- This is an important date for me, because this would be my 12th birthday, which resulted in my parents renting Wrestlemania 2 for the party and turning me into a lifelong fan. I started watching NWA's Worldwide Wrestling in syndication soon after, with the first show I ever saw being the one where Magnum TA's career-ending car accident was announced, so we're getting pretty close to that point now.

- Your hosts are Tony & David, with unsolicited help from Jim Cornette. They announce that Wahoo has beaten Tully Blanchard to win the National title, and that belt comes to the end of the line via the Nikita Koloff tour of destruction a month after this.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - August 16 1986

- They seem to be sneaking more SMW stuff into the channel, with a clip before this show and a clip of Rock N Roll Express v. Gangstas in the Shorties section, and yet still no weekly TV show. Where's the Smoky Mountain love, WWE 24/7 Classics on Demand?

- Hosted by Tony and David and Jim F'n Cornette.
