Old WWE advertisements from the 1980s.

The other day I bought a DVD box set of the syndicated Jackie Gleason Show that was taped off of WWOR in the early 1980s. Some of these have commercials from the early 1980s from WWOR. Also, during the end credits, the announcer yaks over them to advertise Mets games, racing from Yonkers etc and much to my surprise even though I knew WWOR aired WWEs old syndicated shows, WWE Championship Wrestling. The announcer said something along the lines of “Catch Vince McMahon and all the wrestlers on Championship Wrestling.”

For a good long while Championship Wrestling was on Saturday at midnight on WWOR, usually following harness racing from Yonkers. I believe it was early into the expansion that they moved the show to Saturday mornings.
