The Network is missing a week of WCCW which means Marc Lowrance’s promise from two weeks back is happening today! THE CHAMP IS HERE! No, not that Champ, the NWA World Heavyweight Champion circa March 1982, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair! Let’s see what Flair’s up to at the Sportatorium as we check in with another installment of World Class Championship Wrestling from 1982.

WCCW (February 27, 1982)
It’s time for another episode WCCW from 1982. Marc Lowrance is filling in on commentary this week for Gene Goodson. He’s joined by Kevin Von Erich to call the action. They run down the card for the evening. Apparently Kevin Von Erich will be pulling double duty tonight as he will also be facing Wild Bill Irwin in the main event.

It’s been awhile since I’ve checked out any WCCW here so I’ve decided to rectify that and pick up where I left off. This week Gene Goodson is joined on commentary by David Von Erich. They give us a run down of the card and then throw to commercials because they’ve got bills to pay.

Let’s go back to January 1982 for another episode of World Class Championship Wrestling presented to us in its most complete form available on the WWE Network. Again we’ve got sleazy 70s disco funk music instead of the awesome WCCW theme song that would show up at some point prior to the former oldest WCCW episode that used to be on the network.
Our announcer for the evening is once again Gene Goodson and this time he’s joined on expert commentary by Fritz Von Erich in a denim suit. Ten seconds in and Fritz is already a million times better on the mic that Jose Lothario was last week.
Gene gives us a rundown of the card and we head to the ring for grappling action!

From the historic Sportatorium in Dallas it’s a random episode of World Class Championship Wrestling from 1982. This is the earliest WCCW offering on the WWE Network and it’s being presented in its most complete format available. Oh god, it’s going to be Eastern Championship Wrestling levels of bad in terms of audio-visual quality isn’t it?
