WWT #57: WrestlExtravaganza - WCCW Holiday Star Wars Cards
2020-01-29
Through 2020 and 2021, the WrestlExtravaganza segments will go through major series of supercards through the 80s and 90s.
World Class Championship Wrestling held "Star Wars" supercards between 1981 and 1987. I go through each of the twenty-one cards in this series with the major matches that defined WCCW as a territory and the "Golden Age of Pro Wrestling".
The biggest matches from these cards can still be found on YouTube:
