      It's the same thing when he occasionally mentions TV taping or interviews in Gainesville Georgia lol. I'm originally from there & watched NWA/WCW from the fall of 1990 till the summer of 1998 at Georgia Mountains Center in Gainesville. Also when he mentions the name of Lanny Poffo, Lanny is my real 1st name lol.

      The Illinois Athletic Commission used to appoint the referees. A good many of them were not smart to the business, which is why the boys of that era could work, because they had to work the referee, as well as the crowd.

      @@jeffnettleton3858As a kid, I attended quite a few wrestling shows that were overseen by the IAC (Illinois Athletic Commission). The referees were awful, usually 75 year old men, with ill fitting uniforms with that big state of Illinois patch on the front.

      Vince blew off Kayfabe in Meadowlands NJ to explain the Athletic Commission was no longer needed because "entertainment, not sport"

      Look on CZcams for the full WWWF wrestling shows. In the very beginning of the show you will see the ring announcer tell the audience all of the licensed names involved. The State Commissioner, the deputy commissioner in attendance, the referees, the time keeper at the bell, the doctor in attendance, and the last one announced was the ring announcer himself. In Pennsylvania these were the same people who ran amateur and professional boxing. Vince Jr. got rid of all of them when he declared that wrestling was predetermined entertainment and not a sport. The commission at one time prohibited lady wrestlers. No children under 16 were permitted in the audience. They also had a curfew in Philadelphia of 10:00 PM. All matches that ran over the curfew needed the permission of the deputy commissioner in attendance. The Spectrum shows were always interrupted with the announcement of the commission waiving the nights curfew.

    • @LOSKOSKI
      @LOSKOSKI Před 25 dny

      I always used to like it when after the match the goons would come to the ring and continue the beat down because their guy lost and whoever it was rang the hell outta the bell like it was gonna stop them from what stomping out their victim. I'm 43, I don't remember Vince letting them do that too much but it seemed like on WcW it happened all the time. - sorry for the long message pal I'm fighting to deliver a nasty dump at 5am and I'm trying to drop the kids off at the pool and by the spitter and splatter I think they got chopped up. I'm scared to go in for the wipe. Time to put down the phone. Wish me luck in my future endeavors. 😢

      ​@@kevkane9485 for free he says, hahaha. Lil bro, they pump as many ads as possible in their podcasts, sometimes they are nearly 10 minutes long. They have them in their original podcasts, they have them again in their short clips, again in their cut-up (aew/wwe) episodes and one more time in their full podcast reuploads. And this is not even counting the ad revenue they get from CZcams. So no, they ain't doing shit for free, you can be sure of that. The least we could get for being farmed at least 4 times, is for them to do their only job a little bit quicker.

      I think it's a monetisation thing. I listen to the full 'casts usually (and will go to the full ep and scan to re-listen to parts) so don't usually watch cornyclips on yt, but a lot of other videos I watch will censor swears, especially those made by content creators (as opposed to film clip channels and the like).
