Fwd: old school wrestling tv shows
By Scott Keith on July 25, 2012
Hey Scott,
After reading about the crap of the pre-raw WWF tv tapings, what aspects would you bring back from the 1980s/early 1990s WWF/NWA TV shows? I always liked the weekly interview segments like the Brother Love Show and the pre-match promos that were in the corner of the TV because you can explain reasons for a feud in a few minutes not twenty. I also liked that the big stars especially Hulk Hogan were not wrestling on TV every week which made it very special when they did wrestle.
Thanks,
David
I have always considered NWA's weekly TBS show to be the perfect template of exactly what I want in a TV show. Recap of a big angle to start, promo, squash, promo, squash, promo, Midnight Express, promo, hype upcoming big show, done. Memphis was also much the same. Early Monday Night RAW was probably #2. I'd like to see more off-the-cuff promos, where someone wins a big match and then just talks themselves up or calls someone out. Kind of like what UFC fighters do now, hmm?
