Anyone Else Miss The Good Ol' Days Of Wrestling?

My brother and I used to watch the NWA religiously back in the heyday of Ric Flair, The Four Horsemen, Magnum T.A., Dusty Rhodes, and of course, the immortal Road Warriors.

Even though the WWF was much bigger in the Northeast where we grew up, I remember very vividly watching the NWA on Channel 17 every Saturday afternoon in the mid to late 80's.

Honestly, every big show they did felt like an event. The characters weren't as cartoon-y as the WWF, the wrestling seemed "more real", and we even got to go to a few live shows in Philly. Very cool.

So tell me this: Who were your favorite wrestlers back in the day?

P.S. Who else loves Wikipedia?
