Not a lot. since we lived in western NC, i did have a friend who picked up Tenn TV stations, but he wasn't much of a wrestling fan. i would watch when I could.
Gotcha.
I swear that the Carolina’s were the best place to be a wrestling fan in the 80’s - being exposed to all of those different products between Georgia, Florida, Memphis, etc.
The Northwest/North-central was also a hotbed with AWA running their shows and the strong crossover of realistic Canadian workers.
I was caught in the middle: the NorthEast.
My region was the original WWWF territory, and so by the time Vince Jr. took over, the WWF was pretty much all we had.
Eventually, we found NWA and AWA on some of the cable stations.
And I think somebody picked up Todd Gordon’s Eastern Championship Wrestling, but it was on at some goofy-ass hour.
For a long time, my primary exposure to life outside WWF-land was through the wrestling mags.
