Celebrating JCP history/programming. No politics/nonsense. Occasionally exalts Sterling Marlin but its mostly old pro wrestling that helps you feel good again.

November 2, 1985: Buddy Landel has had a great year, thus far, in JCP. He's gone toe-to-toe with Ric Flair and wants some more. The way to do it? Become a champion himself. So, at Starrcade, The Nature Boy is going after National Champion Terry Taylor. That's right, he said it.

Looking through an old wrestling magazine and saw a PATRIOT comic that was amazing! Not only was it drawn by Jerry Lawler but it was set in Indianapolis and featured Sam Menacker and Baron Von Raschke! 🛜 linktr.ee/rasslepod #Wrestling @JerryLawler

On This Day in JCP TV History - 1982 Young Tommy Peterson sent in a heartfelt drawing of Rick Steamboat & Jay Youngblood that reads "the uncrowned World tag team champions." In return the good guys give up their lei/headdress. Since its wrestling I'm sure nothing bad will happen
