The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - October 4 1986
- Your hosts are Tony & David. This is likely taped before the Omni show with the US tag title tournament they've been hyping for weeks, so no mention of the results or even the show here.
The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - September 27 1986
- Another short show this week. Luckily the Braves sucked ass in the 80s, so things will pick up again once we get to the post-season.
- Your hosts are Tony & David.
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 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 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.
I was reading one of your latest rants and saw something about Denny Brown. Apparently, he held this belt three times, and Giant Baba was somehow involved. Do you know anything more about him? He doesn't register much in my childhood memories of NWA television.
He was a regional guy, decent worker, looked like Steve Perry with muscle tone. I don't know how Giant Baba would be involved but he did nothing of note aside from being a former jobber who got a decent push as junior champion, lost to Hector Guerrero in a Lazer Tag costume, and then became a jobber again before retiring. On the NWA shows I'm reviewing right now he just dropped the belt to Steve Regal and should be regaining it shortly, but he was never really anything memorable as a worker or anything.
