So I have some questions about Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and Georgia Championship Wrestling.
I have read online that Georgia Championship Wrestling was also known as World Championship Wrestling. Thus where they got the name from in 1988 when they turned the NWA into WCW. But Mid Atlantic was an NWA territory too.
So the WWF bought out Georgia to run Saturday night shows on TBS, and then a year later didn't want that and it became Georgia Championship Wrestling again, but did Crockett come in and buy out Georgia and the WCW name and change Mid-Atlantic to just the NWA??
It just seems so messy, that whole situation. Because it seems both Georgia and Mid-Atlantic has ties in becoming WCW that we knew during the 90s and early 2000s.

Yeah it was pretty much Crockett buying/merging them under the JCP banner.

Do you know why guys like Roddy Piper, Ole Anderson, Ivan Koloff, Austin Idol, and others were both wrestling on Georgia and Mid Atlantic then at the same time??
I seen YouTube clips of Piper's face turn on Georgia, and it was in August of 1982, and he was doing commentary there with Gordon Solie, yet Piper is wrestling weekly on Mid Atlantic cause I am currently watching that on the WWE Network.
The whole thing with GCW and Mid Atlantic Wrestling is confusing to me on so many levels.

I believe this was a talent exchange agreement the two had going on during this time period.
I do know Ole Anderson was booking both circa 81/82 so it makes sense.

That explains it then.
I wish the WWE Network would air those old Georgia Championship Wrestling episodes.
It's like the WWE is more concerned now with putting out new content that we have already seen. Best of Edge?? I don't need that, all his matches are already on the Network. What I need is more older wrestling programs I haven't seen before!

Same here brother. Florida and Stampede as well( we had it briefly but they had issues over the catalog with Bret so they took it down awhile back) |

Ole Anderson is a genius. He was the voice of the legendary Black Scorpion.

I think that gimmick could have went somewhere if he didn't fall flat on his face. |
