There are so many names that I'm sure I've long ago forgotten in wrestling. (Brakus, Lethal Larry Cameron, Buzz Tyler, etc.)
Some names I wish I COULD forget, LOL! (Johnny B Bad, PN News, Outback Jack, etc.)

I only know Buzz Tyler from early Championship Wrestling from Florida.

Buzz was in the Mid-Atlantic in the mid-80's when I first saw him wrestle. Not bad, he didn't stay there long if I remember correctly.
After that, I don't remember hearing his name again.

Really? I never thought they looked alike. Then again, my best friend (a HUGE wrestling fan) didn't realize that "Big" Scott Hall from the AWA was also Razor Ramon! I told him yes, but he didn't believe me for the longest time! Anyway... |

I'm glad I had a nice big color TV and sat about 2 feet from the screen! Wow, those were the days! No wonder I need glasses now, haha!  |

I had an Atari 2600 by 1980 and could NOT play on a B&W TV, it had to be on a color set!
We had an antenna that could get good reception from the local ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS stations, plus the independent WTXX out of Hartford CT as well as WTIC-TV out of Hartford as well!
Out of Worcester MA, channel 27 came in barely but that switched to a scrambled signal by '81.
If the winds blew right, i could get the ABC, CBS, and PBS stations barely from Boston MA. Watchable but not too often.
New York stations were too fuzzy to watch.

I played NES on the B&W until I bought a 14" Sanyo in the mid 80s.The B&W got the 3 major stations,PBS and a whole bunch of UHF stations.One of the UHF stations was the one that had WCCW.

The advent of cable brought clear signals from all the stations I mentioned, except Channel 27 wasn't in the line-up.
There were some New York stations like WPIX, and one other that used to have Yankee games.
For the longest time, we didn't have TBS though, not till like the early 90's! Ted Turner wasn't popular up here, I guess.
Nowadays, there's WBZ out of Boston on cable. Every year on New Year's Eve, they have a 3 Stooges marathon that lasts 5 hours! I've recorded a few on my DVR, so I always have something funny to watch!
I wish I had the Sci-Fi Channel (I refuse to call them "Syfy"), so I could watch some original Twilight Zone marathons! What a great show that was!

Sci-Fi is okay I have it on Mobdro. It's not like it used to be. Twilight Zone is on youtube. Some guy has a channel. I miss the UHF stations. I used to watch Mexican sitcoms,had no idea what they were talking about.

I got Telemundo, but haven't watched it in a while. Some hot babes on there, oh yeah!
I watched almost all the 80's TZ that was on CBS. I've seen about 8 of the ones with Forrest Whittaker from the early 2000's. I know where to find those on Youtube! I heard there's a radio station version of TZ, but haven't looked for those on the internet. Without Serling, it's not the same, that's for sure.
