Page "Jim Crockett Promotions" Paragraph 7

In 1975, JCP premiered a new syndicated " B-show " entitled Wide World Wrestling ( renamed World Wide Wrestling in 1978 ).

The original host of this show was former Georgia Championship Wrestling announcer Ed Capral.

Subsequent Wide World / World Wide announcers included Les Thatcher, George and Sandy Scott, and Dr. Tom Miller.

It was also hosted by the team of Rich Landrum and Johnny Weaver in the 1970s.

In 1978, JCP later added a short-lived show called The Best of NWA Wrestling which was taped at WCCB studios in Charlotte ( across the street from the old Charlotte Coliseum ) and which featured then-active wrestler Johnny Weaver sitting down with top stars in a " coach's show " type environment, in which they commentated over 16 millimeter films shot at local arenas.

Rich Landrum and David Crockett appeared on " Best Of " doing promo interviews for local arena shows.
