------------

 

Professional wrestling has been a major staple of American Pop Culture since the birth of television. When Ted Turner launched Atlanta UHF television station WTCG (TBS' predecessor) in 1972, he could not have imagined the impact his weekly wrestling show would have on the sport. Taped on Saturday mornings in downtown Atlanta, it aired each week at 6:05pm on a Saturday Night. Gordon Solie, opened the program and welcomed millions of wrestling fans as he introduced the biggest names and match-ups in the sport.

 

The Saturday Night Show set the standards for what you see today. No matter where you were, or what you were doing on a Saturday, at 6:05pm you found a TV.

 

When the show ended in 2001, it created a void and fans protested in vain to bring back their heroes who had lost their home on television. The clamor for these stars reached such a level that wrestling had to once again embrace these men who had built the sport. A Hall of Fame was set up to honor them, DVDs are being released to highlight their legacies and action figures manufactured to commemorate their greatness.

 

Now for one unprecedented night, we have reunited some of the team who helped create the 6:05 mystique with these Legends, to put them all where they belong, back in main event action.

 

"6:05 The Reunion" features 12 huge matches emanating from the World Famous Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Florida in a night with no Championships, just Champions with the Legends who each defined and shaped their generations.

Will this event be broadcasted live on PPV or a few months down the line, and if so, how much will it cost?

Not sure but I think it's down the line?

 

I hope it cost around the $15-20 mark.

[SamoaRowe 0]

Good thing they didn't call it "Heroes of Wrestling 2."

 

 

Hopefully half the card won't fall into the negative star territory.

Kanyon v. DDP as a main event of a "legends" show? Yeah, this very well MAY be the sequal to Heroes of Wrestling at this rate. I remember they had all these "legends" at the last ppv and then for no reason, had Scorpio v. Julio Dinero. This is akin to that.

 

Whatever though, if its on mainsteam ppv I'll f'n pick it up.

The Midnight Express (Stan Lane, Bobby Eaton, & Dennis Condrey w/ Jim Cornette) vs. Bob, Brad, & Scott Armstrong

Please tell me that Bob Armstrong is working as a manager and not as a wrestler.

[Coolclint 0]

Bob's still working as a wrestler in North Florida. I keep seeing flyers around here for him working the local AWA affiliate. Yeah. North Florida indies are so weak we don't have a NWA affiliate. We have an AWA affiliate.

A local Orlando DJ will fight on the card - sez WON

[Cuban Linx 0]

If they want a DJ for a Legends show they should bring in DJ Ran to get all up in everyone's area.

[Guest new jack 4 prez]

i wouldn't mind having the opening match buff bagwell, koko b ware, disco inferno, and norman smiley vs. david flair, virgil, the blue meanie, and kamla. an eight man comedy match. hell they should have steve corino vs. dusty rhodes bunkhouse match. note to corino revieve that fued in world-1

Thirty-some miles south of Chicago, I've seen flyers for Kamala vs. some guy I never heard of before, at the gyros place in South Chicago Heights, and at the Burrito Station in (I think) Steger.

To the idiot that wrote this up, TBS Sat. Night wrestling stopped in 2000, not 2001.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

I love how they try to tie this in to WCW and WWF/WWE.

[Epic Reine 0]

Nothing screams legend more than David Flair!

[JST 0]

Is Brian Hebner still employed by WWE? Vince is letting him work the show?

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

Nothing screams legend more than David Flair!

 

I was thinking the same thing. Flair, and although I loved him back in WCW, I'd never call Norman Smiley a legend either, among many others on this card.

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

Is Brian Hebner still employed by WWE? Vince is letting him work the show?

 

No Hebners are employed by the E anymore.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

That's what pisses me off about these shows, and WWE's "Legends" too...a lot of these guy are people that either happened to work in WCW or WWF during the Monday Night Wars, or in WWE's case, were basically journeymen workers during the '80s and early '90s. I'm sorry, but someone like Jim Duggan or Koko B. Ware isn't a legend.

[Hawk 34 0]

I would consider Midnight Express, Snuka, DDP and Valentine legitimate "legends" for those working the show. Bruno, Tully, Heenan, Roberts and Steiners as well.

 

However, Blue Meanie? Norman Smiley? Koko B. Ware?

[Guest Korgath]

Even the Nitro Girls were invited, I heard? Crazy!

Somebody has to lose.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

They will be taping a 'Whatever happened to..." Documentary at the event as well
