    **** Please note, you can watch the video version of this debate here: https://youtu.be/MPVcrdtjcwY?si=3-BzO_laMcsWp3bg and make sure you subscribe as Blair does incredible work!! What is the greatest wrestling faction of all time? The nWo, the Four Horsemen, or maybe even someone else? Tonight, Wrestling With The 80's will be hosting a live debate between two of our favourite guests to appear on this channel, Andy the Taxman from Grappling With Canada and Ted Hill from Ted's Takes on Wrestling as they tackle that long asked question! Make sure you jump into the chat and provide your opinion as to who is the greatest faction of all time! Andy has quickly become one of Canada's most respected wrestling historians with his epic historical series, Grappling With Canada, where he takes a dive deep into the rich, complicated, and layered history of Canada's impact on Professional Wrestling. Each episode highlights an individual from Canadian history who has made a significant impact on Pro Wrestling, pop culture, and the fabric of the perception of Canada on the world stage! Ted Hill has one of the most entertaining outlooks on both modern and classic pro wrestling you will ever find! He has been one of the most valuable contributors to Wrestling With The 80's since day 1 and continues to entertain audiences with his channel, Ted's Takes on Wrestling which is about making videos of honest opinions and showing clips of AEW. We also like making fun shorts of AEW, WWE and old school wrestling.

    The Legacy of Ted Turner, TBS and Wrasslin'

    Special Note The original video broadcast of this program can be found on the fantastic Wrestling With The 80's channel which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4sdYyFWTXc&t=8448s I would also encourage you to subscribe to Ted's Takes On Wrestling, which you can find here: www.youtube.com/@TedsTakesWrestling Ted Turner, the swashbuckling billionaire owner of TBS, CNN and the Atlanta Braves had an incredible impact on the world of professional wrestling as well! Wrestling fans of the 80's remember making 6:05PM on the SuperStation appointment television as they watched their favourite grapplers battle it out first in Georgia Championship Wrestling then later on Jim Crockett Promotions World Championship Wrestling. In the 90's, after Turner's purchase of JCP, viewers were treated to one of the greatest eras to be a wrestling fan as the Monday Night War heated up thanks to WCW's groundbreaking Monday Nitro! But sadly, all good things must come to an end as the world of corporate mergers led to a power struggle and eventual ousting of Turner from the empire he created, the destruction of WCW and the end of wrestling on Turner Broadcasting. Tonight I am joined by Andy the Taxman from @GrapplingWithCanada and Ted Hill from @TedsTakesWrestling to discuss the legacy of Ted Turner and his indelible mark on professional wrestling! We're also going to be giving our thoughts and reactions to the epic four part Netflix documentary on Hulk Hogan. The good, the bad, the untrue and the unbelievable. Hogan left a legacy that can't be denied and even in death he is creating a stir in mainstream media. Please be sure to like, subscribe, rate and review! (Hopefully 5 Stars!!)
