This was supposed to be division specific so I could win. 80's is before my time so probably won't do well.

I think I might have got more right than I thought I would, but on the other hand they could also be wrong. Either way, definitely not doing so good on this one.

Oddly enough, the last question was the easiest for me to answer. Meanwhile, though the decade in question is within my lifetime, I didn't really care all that much outside of the gimmicks and personalities. Wrestling was just entertaining and something I could emulate with toys and/or my older brother. I actually had to take a step back and realize that there is a lot of stuff I either totally don't remember, or conflated from later learned late 70s history or early 90s stuff. |

Just enough information and some random names for me to cover this. Pretty sure most answers are correct though, just from seeing different podcasts and reviews of older shows.
Used a theme song for the last question that I hope was composed in the 80's! |

last 2 questions were very hard.... I googled the name of the band who sang the song I was thinking of, as there are likely many songs with the same title.....

The only question that I'm worried about is the Rock and Wrestling Show. I think alot of people have my answer.

Considering I finished in last place, I think I did better this time. I've been watching 80's WWE(F) house shows, and guessed on the rest. AWA had familiar wrestlers so I guess they were educated guesses.

The WWF used to use regular music all the time until like 1986. All their shows/segments used actual music (Piper's Pit, Saturday Nights Main Event, WWF Championship Wrestling etc...) There's a ton of choices.
