Do we know of any skip weeks in December 1986 for World Class? I know that’s when they usually do Star Wars, I just wasn’t sure if we have a straight shot into 1987 or not with all the mislabels. I ask because of 262. Should be December 27, But is listed as the first episode in 1987 by the Network.

World Class did not use the 1986 Christmas Star Wars as a TV taping like they had done in previous years. One of the January episodes shows some highlights of it, though. They treated the 1986 Independence Day Star Wars the same way.

I'm so glad I got to experience being a wrestling fan in Texas in the '80s. You got the Sportatorium for World Class, I got Gilley's rodeo arena for Texas All-Star. Wasn't quite as hot as the Sportatorium, but the building was always drenched in the stench of horse and cow manure.

Watched the first episode from 83 would love to know what the original music was during the Freebirds interview in their home. Cause it's hard to hear what they saying with the music WWE used

From what I've been able to gather, these are all the episodes of WCCW's syndicated show that are not on the Network. I've listed how many episodes for each year and their numbers.
1981 - 1 (1) 1982 - 7 (4-6, 8, 11, 14, 16) 1983 - 3 (59-60, 88) 1984 - 1 (110) 1985 - 2 (175, 180) 1986 - 1 (247) 1987 - 1 (286) 1988 - 10 (337, 358-366)
1989 - 33 (367-399; final WCCW episode aired Aug. 19 with the show being re-named "USWA Challenge" Aug. 26) 1989 - 31 (367-397; final WCCW episode aired Aug. 5-6 in Texas and Aug. 19 in national syndication)

I’d love to see a complete run myself, but not sure if all episodes are intact in WWE’s archives.

Rewatching the 83 episodes after not seeing them since a kid. You know you a good heel when you do clean jobs to the Von Erich's and still not lose your heat

Where would I start watching if I wanted to jump in for the Von Erich/Freebirds feud?

Better start at the October 1982 episodes because those give an insight into the Freebirds/Von Erich relationship before the feud began.
