Channel 20 of Waterbury ran pro wrestling...at 7 PM on a Monday? Is that correct? ???
MCarney said:
Yes - that's what the listing says. No description of the league or wrestlers.
...1979 was still in that era where some stations ran one-or-two-night per week programs in that fringe between news and network prime time. Considering the location, it was probably Vince McMahon Sr.'s World Wrestling Federation package that WATR/20 was running...
