Your Wrestling Fix

When I was eight-years-old, my favorite TV show, toys, cassette tape, shirt, and belt accessory were all produced by the WWF. While my support for professional wrestling evaporated in middle school, I still get a kick out of classic wrestling from the 1980s. And because Wrestlemania was last weekend, here’s a little nostalgia.

WWF World Heavyweight Champions (1983-1990)

Bob Backlund (1978-1983)

The Iron Shiek (December 26, 1983 – January 23, 1984)

Hulk Hogan (January 23, 1984 – February 5, 1988)

Andre The Giant (February 5, 1988. According to Wikipedia, Andre surrendered the title to Ted DiBiase, and the WWF declared the title vacant until a tournament held at Wrestlemania IV.)

Randy “Macho Man” Savage (March 27, 1988 – April 2, 1989)

Hulk Hogan (April 2, 1989 – April 1, 1990)

The Ultimate Warrior (April 1, 1990 – January 19, 1991)

And here are a few videos:

• The best Mean Gene Okerlund interviews
• Pivotal episodes of Piper’s Pit
• Classic grudge matches of the 1980s

This concludes your nostalgic wrestling fix. If you were not in need of fixing, I apologize.
