And I’m Like… (Going Old School in WCCW January 26th 1983)

Welcome everyone to 1983! While reading this review might as well take a listen to this record that came out in 1983. It’s The Violent Femmes with The Violent Femmes.

Bill Mercer opens the show, telling us the main event will be for the American Heavyweight Championship. The champion Kevin Von Erich will defend his title against Terry Gordy. Mercer says “this has the overtone of the revenge factor. When Terry Gordy was the gatekeeper in that NWA World Heavyweight Championship match.” I like how that match happened more than a couple weeks ago and the waves are still washing to the shore of the Dallas Sportatorium.
