The old Jim Crockett promotion was great about that. I remember watching a Ric Flair - George South match that was so good that I remember actually thinking "George South is really going to beat Ric Flair."

One of my favorite ones though was when they introduced Gino Hernandez to the area. I knew who he was because I read all of the magazines and what not, but I remember watching their Saturday night show one evening and watching Brad Armstrong, who had been on a tremendous hot streak come out and get into the ring for his match against the job guy. I recognized the guy as Gino and they finally announced his name and he ended up cheating and beating Armstrong. The announcers put it over that this guy had come out of nowhere and had beating Brad Armstrong. It really got Gino over. Unfortunately, he didn't stay around the area long, but looking back on it, I thought that was a really cool way to introduce someone to the area. Hugh Morrus, I think and it helped get the ball rolling for him, as wellWCW did something similar to that for Goldberg's first match against H.

LOL! I remember watching that match and how I couldn't believe Morris got beat by an unknown.
