• OLD SCHOOL VIDEO HISTORY (January 05, 1985) – Championship Wrestling From Georgia
On this day in 1985, Ole Anderson aired an episode of his new TV show ‘Championship Wrestling From Georgia’ on Ted Turner’s channel TBS.
The story was that after Vince McMahon’s WWF bought the ‘Georgia Championship Wrestling’ territory and the TBS timeslot that came with it, too many people complained to Ted Turner’s TV station, that they want to see their well known NWA wrestlers again, instead of the new WWF program that they got as a replacement.
So therefore Ole Anderson received a seperate morning time slot on TBS for his new promotion ‘Championship Wrestling From Georgia’, that had several NWA Wrestling Superstars on their show.
You can find the card below:
– Interview with newly crowned NWA National TV Champion Ron Garvin
– Ron Ritchie & Brian Adias vs. Mike Starbuck & Terry Ellis
– Interview with Bob Roop
– Long Riders vs. Mark Hill & Joshua Stroud
– Post-match interview in which the Long Riders

• Jim Cornette Calls Out NJPW Wrestler For High Risk Spot & Getting Injured
At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13, Kota Ibushi lost the NEVER Openweight Championship to Will Ospreay.

WTF?? Who was the guy doing the backflip trying to hit–the cameraman?? This makes no sense! https://t.co/pMuyRdqIPu

So it's the goofy play rassler that wrestles blowup dolls, who gives a shit. He was doing a stupid move. You just said "He wasn't aiming at anyone". Then what did he do a backflip 10 feet to an empty floor for? Not my fault they did a stupid spot. You need to get laid more. https://t.co/s1TOrQJ9lQ

During this match, Ibushi suffered a concussion. This led to Cornette tweeting the following:
Well, maybe if this stupid asswipe had landed on his blowup doll, or just not backflipped for no reason, he might not have damaged his teeny wittle brain. https://t.co/XYKRErlUsN
