I don't really remember all that but as a young kid my mom, who loved this stuff, would drag me down to I think channel 9 on Saturday mornings and they'd have live matches right there, broadcasting live. But she liked to be in the crowd
They'd have like a TV champion different than the big champion. These were like preview kinda things for the championship match at the centroplex that night or the next day. And free. We were poor, couldn't afford a ticket to the big stuff but she'd go down there and scream on a Saturday morning. Haven't thought of that in 45 years. Good memory. Baton Rouge was a big pro wrestling town way back when.
Those times were crazy. It seemed more freewheeling I guess. You knew it was fake but not scripted. Just different.

That's pretty cool. I can't say I ever knew a woman who admitted to being a fan.
All of the kids in my neighborhood came over to my house on Saturdays to watch my Dad watch wrasslin. He was a one-man show.
He would stomp, do air headlocks, coach the good guys on what to do to the heels like poke them in the eyes, punch them when the ref wasn't looking, throw them out of the ring, pull the heel's illegal weapon out of their trunks and use it on them, etc, etc. You could watch my dad and know exactly what was happening on TV.
He was a Sunday school teacher and I never heard him curse unless Mid-South was on TV and the bad guy was cheating and getting away with it. My Dad took his wrasslin very serious.
