Funny, I was never much of a fan of the baby-faces like Backlund/Skaaland. I always loved The Wiz, Mr. Fuji, Jimmy Hart, Albano and The Weasel. Used to love to go to the Civic Center in Baltimore to see The Samoans and Magnificent Muraco. Greatly enjoyed the reign of Muraco as Intercontinental Champ and loved the Hawaiin Spike....

Saturday mornings were a big event back in the mid-70's when WWF would be on Ch 20. The best part of the show was always the hype interviews with Vince. Simply the most entertaining and funny stuff I ever saw. Wish I had a VCR back then to have recorded some of it as it was truly classic material.

Guess I'm dating myself severely here.....
Those were the days!
My grandfather got me into wrestling about 1977, that's when there were three "big" wrestling companies; WWWE, AWA & AWA.
The eastern seaboard was controlled by the McMahons & the World Wide Wrestling Federation (now the WWE), The Chicago/ Midwest area (American Wrestling Association) and the National Wrestling Alliance in the south. On the west coast many smaller territories with the WWWF & NWA also promoted there. I always taped the midnight show on channel 9 (WOR) in N.Y. (Championship Wrestling) that was the "main" promotion show from the WWWF. Our local station had wrestling on Sunday mornings at 11, the "Allstar" program.
