I think it would be hard for today's wrestling fan to be able to process it the way Jeff explained the Crockett-Turner deal but as 20 something year old fan, that's the way I viewed it at the time. Crocketts lost their business, and in a way, that was the last time I was a full-fledged wrestling fan. I stayed through 89...but 1990 ran me off from wrestling until around 2016. I started watching wrestling as a kid in the 70s, but the booking in 1989 and 1990 killed the business for me.

Another thing to consider about this show is the hot period of the 1980s for the wrestling business was on the down side in 1988 due to the overall state of America's economy at the time, especially in the South, which was really one of the catalysts for Bill Watts having to sell. Most of his oil-based energy economy markets like Tulsa, Houston and New Orleans were on their ass in 1986 ad 1987 and this effected other Southern based promotions as well because they were not as well established in the northern or western markets of the U.S. But the overall business was headed downward for wrestling. Verne didn't survive, even though he was established in the northern markets because he was just too old schooll in his thinking and his promoting acumen never caught up. He was still doing 1960s promoting in 1988. What helped McMahon the most from a revenue standpoint was the better produced show, the strength in markets with better economies, NBC network exposure for a great hot angle of Hogan and Andre. The rest of the wrestling world had none of these three key elements in 1988. And Vince eventually felt the down cycle also in 1993 and 1994...wrestling did not have another economic upswing again until 1996. Jerry Jarrett was able to survive this by being smart, but I think he would tell you he never experienced another economic period better than 1974 to 1984, which was a great economic upswing for the business. Crockett caught the tail end in 1985 and 1986 but made some bad business decisions in a down economy from 1987 on. When the overall economic tide goes out, you can tell who's swimming naked. It's like a duck who rises with the pond but thinks he put the water in. Just not so.
