WCCW -- Could it have been 'big' nationwide

**slik** · 09-10-2018, 08:53 AM

I was watching the WWE DVD on WCCW and they talked about how WCCW was ahead of everyone else in production values and had the chance to go national at one time (and sort of were already creeping into homes via satellite all over the place) but Fritz Von Erich turned the deal down, despite his kids telling him to take it.

If they would have do you think Vince would have been able to national as well and would WCCW have been a success? Could Kerry Von Erich have been Hulk Hogan (essentially) before Hulk Hogan? Impressive that w/o a national TV deal that they sold 50k tickets to a stadium show and it was 'the largest crowd to watch wrestling ever' until WM III.
