It’s funny. Rob Parker says it was Sid’s idea that WCW ran with. Booker says he doesn’t know where it came from but it was humiliating to him. Stevie Rays says it wasn’t racist and the whole thing was Booker and his idea.

I could've sworn that I read that they wore the jumpsuits at a Pro/Worldwide taping but the match didn't air.

Footage of a match of them wearing jumpsuits aired overseas. You can find traces of it online but the WWE has taken the links down. A recent thing on the Network cut to a two second clip of Booker and Stevie in the ring wearing the blue jumpsuits but nothing with chains or Rob Parker.

So, I came across this the other morning and the name of Harlem Heat caught my attention. Never heard the term Ebony Nightmares until then:

Cross checking with the ad that ran in WCW Magazine, I noticed another detail that I never noticed... the fact that Booker and Stevie are in jumpsuits and chains:

So... who has ever seen the full promo pics of the Chain Gang version of Harlem Heat? The magazines I have from that era don’t show this version of them, even the ones that still call them Kane and Kole. The only first promo pics I’ve seen are the ones from this 1993 shoot:

Anybody out there have the Chain Gang pics?

With that unreleased UWC video game for the NES being discovered last week, there’s some questions surrounding it. The guy that has the cart now and has dumped the ROM to ensure its release has an inquiry regarding the UWC moniker.

Theres never been anything shown publicly regarding the Universal Wrestling Corporation, right? Just an internal placeholder that turned into WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING almost immediately, correct?

Almost every other post I've put up on the WCW Worldwide Tumblr was flagged but thankfully, the whole site wasn't pulled. Turns out that several items have just been hidden from public view, which absolutely sucks since the pulled content seemingly goes all the way back to 2013. The only way to bring them back is to seek out the posts and send individual appeals for each one, which isn't as easy to do as the dashboard for the site sucks.

I saw some issues on the backend on Tumblr regarding archiving photos a while back, so I luckily pulled back over the past couple of years from posting there exclusively, but it still irks me. However, I did get a good laugh at this:

Flair's bad choices have been well documented and he's on wife #4, so it got me wondering; has Flair had to resort to selling any of his robes?

Yup. I think the ones that sold in late 2017 were recently made but I can think of four different people who own at least five of his vintage robes. Conrad Thompson, Darius Rucker and the private collector who owns the original Big Gold Belt.

Then, there’s a story of a guy who bought the original NWA title with a Flair robe for something like $10,000. Millican bought the title back from him. Not sure if that is also the private collector or not...
