This one is truely old school and is before manys time. In 1976 , The Superstation TBS went national and brought Georgia Championship Wrestling to the forefront of the NWA. It was the first NWA territory to be broadcast nationally and because of the resaulting exsposure became a magnet for NWA stars. Soon everybody that was anybody was appearing on the program and stars like Harley Race, the Brisco Brothers, The Funk brothers, the Minnesota wrecking crew, Rick Flair, Ted Dibiase , Ricky Steemboat , Stan Hansen , Mr Wrestling #1  , Jake the Snake, The Von Erics, Bruiser Brody.... the list just goes on and on as the talent was drawn to Atlanta for the national exsposure. The territory went threw many changes , most notably becoming World Championship Wrestling in 1982 and was a pivital factor in Vince's drive for national superiority when he bought it in 1984. I was there to see Gorden Solie announce the change to WCW as well as being one of the many on Black Saturday going WTF?! as the program was changed without warning to WWF programming. The more familure programing would return about a year later when Vince sold the timeslot off to Jim Crocket Jr and paved the way for the biggest battle in prowrestling history the WCW / WWE wars.
