WWF WRESTLING 12-26-84
As cable television became more and more entrenched in American households during the early 1980s, one tradition for devout wrestling fans nationwide was to faithfully tune in every Saturday night at 6:05 p.m. ET to Superstation WTBS from Atlanta to see Georgia Championship Wrestling stars like Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes on the hugely successful World Championship Wrestling program.
But on the evening of Saturday, July 14, 1984, those that turned on WTBS were in for a shock to their system of tradition. As World Championship Wrestling began, there was announcer Freddie Miller on the screen introducing WWE's Vince McMahon. WWE was in the beginning stages of its national expansion and was able to acquire the prestigious Saturday at 6:05 p.m. time slot on WTBS, shrewdly taking away Georgia Championship Wrestling's television product from millions of viewers. It was a move that had signs of brilliance, but the public outcry from the change was so intense that the fateful evening was dubbed "Black Saturday."
