1982/83 "Supercards" in the WWF

[Guest tank_abbott]

I was reading my PWI Almanacs and it occured to me that the WWF had basically the same roster from the mid to late 70's through 1983... Oh course a star or 2 came around from time to time, but it seems it was mostly Samoans, Pedro, Backlund etc etc....I mean Chief Jay, Mr. Fuji and the other geriatrics were still fighting in 1983 from what I have read.

 

Vince jr brought in a ton of new blood in 1984 to refresh the roster. (Hogan, Piper, Valentine etc)

 

Ok enough blabbering...Here's the ??? Did the WWF hold any supercards between 1980's Shea Stadium Showdown, and Wrestle mania 1?

 

Dates and Line up would be appreciated.

 

Thankz
