GREENVILLE SC NEWSPAPER ADS

 

The Greenville office of Jim Crockett Promotions promoted their live shows and TV show beyond what was "usual & customary" for the time. They inserted two additional local spots on the TV show (fondly remembered as the "Billy Powell promos", produced at the local station, WFBC) and they ran weekly newspaper ads previewing the upcoming episode of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling which aired each week at 1:00 PM on WFBC. These ads rotated each week, and are presented here.
