Reminds me of watching USWA when I was a kid.

My brother just showed me a video from 2014 where Gollows is doing the Tex Ferguson character. Same exact accent and outfit. Apparently, this is the brain child of Gallows and Anderson. I'm willing to bet though that Cena and Jericho contribute a lot. They are just too good at it.

its amazing they put more effort into character development in these 4 youtube videos than they have most of the main roster the last 2 years
they weren't the greatest things i've ever seen and i wasn't howling with laughter. but that was about a half hour of my life worth spending. it was entertaining enough and well produced. i almost would have liked to have seen them go further and actually do some of those matches they were selling. i never watched "regional" stuff from the 80's so i have no comparison but 80% of these things being the Cena character behind a table got a bit monotonous. But thats nitpicking. Overall those were good videos. I applaud the creativity which is so much lacking in the current product

Just watched the entire series of shows and thought they were a fun homage to spoof the campy territorial product of the 80s. Well done.
It reminded me of why wrestling is fun and others should too. Don't take everything so seriously. At the end of the day, it's just entertainment.

If you get a chance to go back and watch the old territorial stuff, you'll see that they spend A LOT of time with the announcers and the announcers are typically very dry. They often spoke like news anchors and seemed to stammer a lot. Gordon Solie was widely regarded as one of the greatest announcers ever and Cena does a dead on impression of him. Personally, I prefer the more exciting and enthusiastic WWF style announcing but I can see why people preferred Solie.

It's good to see Fandango actually getting to do something also why couldn't Simon Gotch play himself instead of TJP It would've been fantastic of English and Gotch were just there, as English & Gotch, and no one acknowledged them as being anything abnormal.

I'm more interested in SRW than all of Wrestlemania weekend.... this is a bucket of gold, and I have been waiting for Tex to make his WWE debut.
I hope we see a empty arena match, with Tex throwing lariats from a bicycle.

I actually enjoyed the 4 episodes a lot. I want a Southpaw wrestling shirt now.
There you have it, the always exuberant Chett Chetterfield. I miss my father! Top moment hands down.
