Nice piece. I enjoy how you include USWA in here. Those territory style southern promotions are still a lot of fun to go back and watch and observe how they built interest in the week-to-week product with a simple formula of grudges.
Being who I am, I should not love Jerry Lawler so much, but I cannot get enough of the Southern Wrasslin nonsense that he's constantly involved in, both inside the ring and out. Never binge the stuff, but watching once per week (as God intended) I never fail to get a kick out of him.

Man that Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. Ted DiBiase match was nuts!!
And that line from the Hulkster... the Warrior’s power is darkness inherited from drinking “sweat from the Devil’s armpit” (ewww) 🤣🤣🤣
Great post, brought back some fun memories for sure!
