This album contains promo photos issued by Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) from 1985-1988 following Crockett's buying out of Ole Anderson's Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1985, unifying the NWA brand. Also included is its successor- World Championship Wrestling (WCW)- which began in November 1988, following it's purchase and rebranding by Ted Turner/TBS from JCP. WCW would run from 1988-2001, ending with its purchase by the WWF in 2001. 1985-1988 JCP promos come in several sizes and have no identifying text/copyrights. WCW Promos from 1989-90 (and a few from 1991) do not have a copyright date (some do not even have the WCW logo), as that information does not begin appearing on the photos until 1991. In addition, white background/color 8.5x11 photos were issued by the company in WCW folders from 1989-91 at events like the "Bruise Cruise". Another oddity is that most WCW promos prior to 1991 were 5x7 or 5x8 rather than the traditional 8x10 size (all on this page are 8x10 unless otherwise noted). While WCW promos do not command the same prices that vintage WWF promos do (there are fewer hardcore collectors), they are every bit as tough to locate-perhaps even more so-than the more popular federation. Over 75 of these are signed, including all of the "Big Boys": Hulk, Flair, Steamboat, Savage, Dusty, Sting, Luger, Rude, Vader, Austin, Cactus, Hennig, Nash, Pillman, Road Warriors, etc.... If you have older 1985-1994 NWA/WCW-era promos available (I prefer the pre-Hogan/NWO era of WCW), please contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com.
