The Super Destroyer- A Cut Above the Rest by David Chappell
Searching my memory, I can recall watching professional wrestling put on by Jim Crockett Promotions as early as the late 1960’s. That time frame put me around the ripe old age of eight or so, a pretty young lad to say the least. But even at that early age, there was something about professional wrestling that caught my attention. I remember All-Star Wrestling, as it was called then, always came on at 5:00 on Saturday afternoon’s on Channel 6 in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. I would watch with a degree of interest in that time period from the late 1960’s into the early 1970’s, but pro wrestling was not a passion for me during those years. It was more a curiosity. But that was about to change. |
