Dark Side Of The Ring: Black Saturday: The Rise Of Vince.

After purchasing WWF, Vince Jr wanted more air time and went after Georgia Championship Wrestling Time slot that sparked a wrestling feud between Vince and Ole Anderson that lasted a year and Vince lost the battle and then created his yearly event Wrestlemania that may or may not have worked.

Vince Sr had a great relationship with other wrestling promoters and territories and admired their work and broadcasting till Junior took control and wanted a monopoly fanfare of the wrestling business, buying up, taking on talent and releasing them while raking in the money but certainly created a lot of enemies in the process over the years.

Contributions from Dave Meltzer, Jim Cornette, Gerry Brisco, Nick Patrick, Bryant Rogowski (Ole Anderson son). Louise Cochran, Bob Roop, Bobby Simmons, Tommy "Wildfire" Rich.
