Jim Crockett Promotions legendary announcer, David Crockett was a special guest at the newly released "AEW Control Center" on AEW's YouTube channel, talking about AEW's debut at the historic Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina. David and Tony go way back in their friendship and wrestling announcing.
At the end of the video, David Crockett said that he will be at the arena for the event. Presumably as a guest commentator.
Crockett himself then matched the total raised by locker room, doubling the money. I heard Cornette talking about it and thought it was worth sharing
Ric Flair is world champion after a freak injury to Harley Race (Achilles tear) left him unable to defend the title. Flair’s first title win came 3 years early but now we’re a year into the reign and headed towards the first Starrcade. I’d like to run a G1 style round robin to determine who he’ll face, but I’d like some input on the blocks.
16 men, 8 in each block. Help me randomize! If you have any questions about anyone on the roster, ask away.

Hey guys.
Does anybody know if there is a guide to key episodes of World Championship Wrestling during the Crockett era? I don't wanna watch the whole year and would like to watch the buildup to their bigger shows.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
