On This Day in WWE History

Time is just flying by.

 

[Cwalker]

So we wonder why Jeff Hardy can’t walk…

On a side note, what the fuck did Cesaro add to that White Noise.

Honestly think it was an audible and he just shifted over to help stabilise Sheamus more than add impact.

 

[Y2Jayne]

The bar was one of the very few times when a completely random team worked because they gave them extra buildup and loads of backstage segments.

 

[Deezy]

An actual monumental day for the industry.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Good and bad day for wrestling.

I got to say, I do wish I had wrestling like the territory days in the sense I could see the big stars like every week live. But at the same time, wrestling might not have survived had it stayed like that.

 

[Deezy]

Let's be honest....the territories were going to eat itself alive, much like the mafia the inclusion of syndication would've been like cocaine being the major revenue to the mob.

Yeah probably. I still can dream about it however. I hear my dad talking about it all the time how fun it was. Macon was a weekly stop, so I would get to see some top stars weekly. Would be fun. But a pipe dream because yeah, someone would have done it eventually. Vince just did it best.

Yeah there was an East Texas loop Mid-South would run that my dad always attended back in the 70s and 80s, shit sounded like so much fun. I think the business moving towards TV being the central profit generating center is what woulda killed all that tho, once you started making more money with TV deals than live gate revenue it was gg for shows in small areas

Did he see the Von Erichs wrestle?

 

[Chris]

I'm sure, he mostly talked about Mid-South stuff tho. JYD, Bill Watts and stuff

 

[Cwalker]

There’s a lot more positives to Vince Jr buying out his dad and going national than there are negatives
