MACW MEANT ACTION

All of the announcers on the various MID-ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING TV shows used to say the fans in the JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS territory were the best wrestling fans in the world.

Maybe we were...at least we'd like to think so.

If, indeed, that was true, it was to a large degree because we witnessed the greatest professional wrestling in the world.

Whether it was the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s, JCP gave its fans the top stars in the business, and they promoted their product well.

It was definitely a relationship between a company and its customers in which all parties benefited...tough to find something like that today.
