If Milwaukee seemed like a random location to host a huge outdoor stadium show…keep in mind that his rival Jim Crockett was holding a Great American Bash show the very next night in the same city. Vince McMahon was a “Go big or go home” type of promoter and booked the Milwaukee County Stadium…home of Major League Baseball’s Brewers to host this show. This wasn’t going to be any ordinary house show however. A few months later in July of 1988, McMahon decided to run a house show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The year 1988 was a great example of that.Ī perfect example was Crockett running a free show on TBS called Clash of Champions to counter program the WWF’s signature show Wrestlemania IV. Their wrestling war in the mid to late 1980’s was vicious and brutal at times…as noted in this piece. That was the case with Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett Jr.
Promoters and / or bookers trying to get a leg up on their competition.
Professional wrestling has always been a cutthroat business in some which way or form.
