What’cha gonna do, Slackers!?
Growing up in Connecticut meant living in the shadow of Titan Tower, aka the WWF. From Hulk Hogan, to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, wrestling has been part of my consciousness for as long as I can remember.
But just like music, I always sought out any alternatives to the mainstream. This is when I discovered wrestling out of Texas, with guys like the Von Erichs and the Fabulous Freebirds…coming straight out of the world famous Sportatorium in Dallas, TX.
After becoming a “lapsed fan” in the early 90’s, I stumbled upon an odd show airing at 2:00AM on the local Spanish language channel: Extreme Championship Wrestling out of Philadelphia, PA. ECW! ECW! ECW!
With blood, guts, profanity, and weapons galore, this crazy promotion forced the “big companies”, WWF and WCW, to move from child friendly programming into something with a little more “attitude”.
Join me for this little barbed wire slice of 80’s and 90’s “'rassling”. It’s enough to make you go, “Woooooo”!
