all of the Flair/Steamboat matches are on dvd. Track them down, worth every nickle.

I remember seeing guys like Chief Jay Strongbow, Blackjack Mulligan, Greg Valentine (another baby face), and Dusty Rhodes.
I haven't followed wrestling in ages but I loved Mid-Atlantic Wrestling (it had other names under the Jim Crockett Promotions umbrella) when I was a kid. The guys you mentioned above, along with Jay Youngblood, Wahoo McDaniel, Baron von Raschke, Iron Sheik are some that I remember. It was pretty low-budget back then but lots of fun.
