A fictional retelling of the 80s Wrestling Wars from @stevetetai.bsky.social It's SUCCESSION meets GAME OF THRONES in this corporate war soap opera + the sex, drugs, & muscles lifestyle of the 80s wrestler and the price they pay! linktr.ee/KingsOTR
Despite wealth, his Harvard classmates never accepted him as the son of a *carnie* wrestling promoter. The wrestlers mocked him for being a *pretty boy yuppie* not cut out for the business... the bitterness that fuels JULIAN CAIN will consume them all... #1984

What better way to finish off#BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers than with its greatest THE JUNKYARD DOG! While JYD became most famous in the mid 80's as a key face in WWF's expansion, his true power was as the biggest draw in wrestling for Mid-South in the very early 80's! #legend

From Antigua in the West Indies SD "Special Delivery" JONES!!! anyone who watched WWF in the 80's will have affection for this guy. He didn't win a lot of matches but he was a constant TV presence on WWF television! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

RANGER ROSS was definitely a featured young up and coming face for the NWA in 1989 with memorable matches with the Great Muta and Sid Vicious! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

THUNDERBOLT PATTERSON had a unique and charismatic promo style which many feel inspired Dusty Rhodes. His years in Georgia on TBS was his most memorable! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

The Zambuie Express RAY CANDY and KAREEM MUHAMMAD were way ahead of their time with this tag team gimmick. Territory regulars across the South! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

BRICKHOUSE BROWN was another fantastic wrestler from the 80's, with memorable runs in Dallas, like his tag team with Iceman King Parsons, and a long feud with Jerry Lawler in Memphis! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 21, 2025 at 9:26 PM
"The Soulman" ROCKY JOHNSON had a true bodybuilder physique and the fastest dropkicks in the business! 1/2 of the "Soul Patrol" with Tony Atlas they were the first Black World Tag Team Champions in 1983! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 19, 2025 at 7:56 PM
ROCKY KING was one of the most likable TV talents from WTBS in the 80s. And occasionally he'd be used in a TV angle with the Four Horsemen or as part of the Boogie Woogie-verse! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

BAD NEWS ALLEN AKA BAD NEWS BROWN was known to larger audiences for his WWF run in the late 80s, Bad News was one of a long line of legit fighters to start wrestling through Antonio Inoki. He also had an incredible run for Stu Hart's STAMPEDE in Calgary. #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

"Sometimes it Be's that way!" was one of many killer catchphrases from ICEMAN KING PARSONS! One of the #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers he was a prominent figure throughout Texas and the Mid-South with one of the wildest haircuts! #RoodyPoo #BlackBirds #WCCWChamp #BlackHistoryMonth

ERNIE LADD was a Hall of Fame football player and a Hall of Fame wrestler. The "Big Cat" was a premier heel and draw across multiple territories from the 60's into the 80's, and the first Black man to be Booker of a major territory (Mid-South) #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 16, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Anyone who watched TBS in the 80s will fondly remember "Pistol" PEZ WHATLEY! Whatley was a firm member of the Jimmy Valiant-verse, whether with Boogie Woogie or against him! Also had runs in the early 80s in Georgia and WWF in the late 80s. #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 15, 2025 at 6:58 PM
#HappyValentinesDay ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER was one of the greatest gimmick attractions ever and an absolute legend wherever he wrestled in the world! One of the last true nightmare inducing wrestlers...#BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers

In the 80s, ex-football great, RON SIMMONS somewhat bounced around his first few years until 1989 when WOMAN teamed him with Butch Reed to form DOOM, which set him on the path to 90s superstardom and becoming the first Black World Champion! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 13, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Before KOKO B WARE teamed up with his parrot Frankie in the WWF, he was part of 2 very special tag teams with "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton (as part of Jimmy Hart's evil First Family in Memphis) and with Norvell Austin as the PYT Express (Pretty Young Things) #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 13, 2025 at 2:36 AM
TONY ATLAS was built like the proverbial brick shithouse! One of the greatest physiques in wrestling, "Mr. USA" was a top star anywhere he went with a career filled with championships! A true legend! #BlackSuperman #SoulPatrol #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 12, 2025 at 5:43 PM
KAMALA the Ugandan Giant was truly one of the greatest gimmick performers ever! This unique monster heel was a proven foil for babyfaces in any territory, from Jerry Lawler, Kerry Von Erich, Hulk Hogan, Junkyard Dog, and more, Kamala was fantastic! #BlackHistoryMonth #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers
February 12, 2025 at 1:55 AM
We celebrate #blackhistorymonth by paying tribute to some of the #80sGreatestBlackWrestlers!

Starting with "Hacksaw" Butch Reed! A tough powerhouse with truly memorable feuds in the Mid-South in particular. And a very underrated worker! #ButchReedRicFlair
