Best of World Championship Wrestling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Best of World Championship Wrestling (aka Best of Georgia Championship Wrestling) was an hour-long Sunday evening edition of TBS' Saturday night wrestling shows, Georgia Championship Wrestling and NWA World Championship Wrestling. It began in the 1970s to compliment GCW, which by 1984 had been renamed World Championship Wrestling. It became inactive when Vince McMahon bought GCW on July 14, 1984 (a.k.a. Black Saturday). When McMahon sold GCW to Jim Crockett Promotions, the Sunday edition of World Championship Wrestling was resurrected. However, airings of Sunday editions became more and more infrequent due to TBS' coverage of the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Hawks.

BoWCW's format was essentially a magazine format, mainly featuring sit-down interviews with wrestlers, along with footage from matches which had previously aired on other related programming. During the show's GCW years, the show was hosted solo by Freddie Miller. During the show's JCP years, it was hosted solo by Tony Schiavone.

One of the most-remembered wrestling angles to air on this show was the announcement of then-NWA president Bob Geigel stripping Magnum T.A. of the NWA U.S. Heavyweight Title for "conduct unbecoming a champion" due to Magnum clotheslining Geigel after Geigel reprimanded him for an attack on Nikita Koloff. This set up the famous "best-of-seven" wrestling series to fill the title vacancy. Koloff defeated Magnum 4-3 to win the vacant title.

In early 1988, Ted Turner expressed interest in a new Sunday evening wrestling show which featured original matches. Turner got his wish when NWA Main Event debuted to strong ratings. In November 1988, Jim Crockett Promotions was sold to Turner, who renamed the organization World Championship Wrestling.
