Wrestling Globe Newsletter goes on hiatus

Just a quick note to let you know that Wrestling Globe Newsletter is now on temporary hiatus. Close friends know exactly why and I hope the rest of you can understand without an explanation.

I know I couldn’t have done this for nearly as long as I have without meeting some awesome friends along the way. Nor could I have done this without an extremely cool lady in my life. And I definitely couldn’t have done this without all the fantastic readers out there that love pro wrestling as much as I do, including the many on the inside that don’t always get what they deserve from this crazy business.

Luke and Butch: Before the Bushwhackers

Luke and Butch: Before the Bushwhackers
Originally published on August 6, 2004
Written by Kevin G. Bufton

Many people consider the late eighties and early nineties to have been a Golden Age for tag team wrestling in the WWF. They talk about the likes of the Bulldogs, the Hart Foundation, Demolition, the Rockers and, to a lesser extent, Strike Force, High Energy and the Orient Express. Whilst I wouldn’t dispute this to any great extent, this was also the time of the Bolsheviks, the Powers of Pain, the Twin Towers, Colossal Connection and, perhaps the greatest steaming turd in the cesspool, the Bushwhackers.

The very name of this New Zealander team causes many die-hard wrestling fans to sweat in fear and trepidation. Respected members of the Internet Wrestling Community, including Scott Keith and Smash Wrestling’s Arnold Furious refuse to watch their matches during some of their PPV recaps. There must be a good reason for people so obsessively enamoured of wrestling to ignore more of their favourite sport, but were the Bushwhackers REALLY that bad” -  – - – Well…yes.

Rampage Pro Wrestling joins the NWA

Warner Robins, GA- Dr. Johnny Gayton announces that Rampage Pro Wrestling (RPW) recently joined the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as an Associate Member. All RPW events and television shows will be sanctioned by the NWA.  Dr. Gayton said “I am pleased to have Rampage Pro Wrestling as part of the NWA, a legendary organization that has a storied history in Middle Georgia. I am convinced that this partnership will be good for the fans and wrestlers of RPW and facilitate the resurgence of the NWA in Middle Georgia.”

Legendary wrestling announcer and Hall of Fame member, Gordon Solie, regularly reminded viewers that Georgia Championship Wrestling on WTCG/WTBS was “sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, the oldest and largest sanctioning body in professional wrestling.”  The NWA formed in 1948 and is celebrating its 63rd year with members throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Australia, and Japan.   For several years Total Non-Stop Wrestling (TNA) was sanctioned by the NWA.  Many wrestling fans will recall NWA events at the Macon City Auditorium and the Macon Coliseum where the NWA Macon Heavyweight and NWA Macon Tag Team titles were defended as well as other major NWA titles.  Cyclone & Roberto Soto won the NWA Macon Tag Team Titles in 1969 and Buddy Colt became the 1st NWA Macon Heavyweight Champion in 1970.  Other wrestling stars who defended NWA titles in middle Georgia included Mr. Wrestling 1 & 2, Ole & Gene Anderson, “Hands of Stone” Ronnie Garvin, Rocky Johnson (the father of WWE superstar the Rock), Jerry Lawler, Abdullah the Butcher, the Road Warriors, El Mongol, and many more.  The NWA World Championship has been held by many superstars including Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Jack Brisco, Dory Funk, Jr., Harley Race, Lou Thesz, Tommy Rich,  AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Raven and current 3 time champion, Adam Pearce
