The Best Of Florida Championship Wrestling: The Years 1981-1982

This video features one of the greatest old territories. The Florida promoted NWA from the time period became a state-wide powerhouse, but eventually due to the times, it subsided and was eventually bought out by Jim Crockett, and later Ted Turner. Well, don't worry all of those old memories are here in this dynamic series. These matches are taken directly from the years 1981 & 1982.
