Auburn was actually developing a very good program at the start of the 80s and doing a lot of firsts for southern schools in wrestling, but Title IX wiped at all away overnight before it was allowed to take hold.

Here's a great article on Auburn's wrestling program, as well as just the effects of Title IX on college athletics: LINK


quote:

The 1980-81 Auburn wrestling team won the SEC championship, and was the first SEC team to finish top 10 in the country. It was also the last wrestling team Auburn ever fielded. 


quote:

But the biggest moment of the Milkovich era came in an upset win at home over Oklahoma.

“In 1980, the University of Oklahoma was ranked No. 1, and we hosted them at the Memorial Coliseum back then, and we beat them,” 




quote:

The stage was set. Auburn was going to become a wrestling powerhouse in the South for years to come.

Then, suddenly, it all disappeared.




quote:

The next year, most of the team with eligibility remaining transferred to other schools and continued to wrestle. Several would find success at other schools, and two of them would go on to win national championships.

According to Tom and Jamie’s math, if that team had stayed together in 1981-82, based on the points the wrestlers earned elsewhere during that season, Auburn would have finished No. 2 in the country.

Former wrestler John "Earthquake" Tenta was a collegiate wrestler at LSU. He has a Tiger tattoo on his arm that represents LSU.

WCW was wrasslin. As a kid, you believed Jimmy Garvin wanted to kill Jim Cornette for the fireball in Ronnie's eyes. You thought the Rock N' Roll Express and Midnight Express hated each other. And you thought Dusty and Tully were killing each other in the ring. McMahon's product was way too cartooish for Southerners. The end result of WWE and "sports entertainment" is the garbage product they've put out there the past decade or more.
