Celebrating JCP history/programming. No politics/nonsense. Occasionally exalts Sterling Marlin but its mostly old pro wrestling that helps you feel good again.

Good morning. I'm pretty sure @SBakabella has a story about something similar happening with the New Breed and Doug Dillinger. In 1987, Bakabella came into JCP to manage Luger but JJ Dillon pulled a power play. I believe it, as Bakabella has never been known to tell a tall tale.

A highlight of my wrestling fandom was Ric Flair as the aspiring champion. The chase. He wasn't unbeatable but always gave 110%. It was a big deal here when he won the NWA title but those years chasing it were so much fun... Here in Toronto 1978-1981 many notable bouts vs Steamboat, Backlund, Bravo, Greg Valentine, Hossein the Arab, Tiger Jeet Singh, Snuka, Ray Stevens, Harley Race, and Roddy Piper...🙏 Toronto June 1981.
