Wrestling's 'Black Saturday' - July 14th 1984 - a podcast by stephengutteridge

A short form audio documentary focussed on one of the more infamous days in the history of North American Professional wrestling - Saturday July 14th 1984.

We look back on the events leading up to the day, how the WWF got themselves on WTBS and the behind the scenes workings of the deal.  There is a review of the actual WWF show that debuted on that fateful Saturday, including a promo so bad it has to be heard to be truly believed.

Thereafter we cover the reaction at the time to the first show and what played out over the coming months prior to the first WrestleMania, including a short run on the station by Bill Watts’ Mid South Wrestling.
