Tommy Edwards, a
former WCW producer and director, concludes his talk with Wrestling Perspective
in the latest issue.
For four years, Edwards helped
shape the WTBS wrestling shows broadcast to millions of fans each week.
He quickly rose to prominence
in the company during the late 1980s only to have the rug pulled out from
under him by Jim Herd.
In Part II of his interview
with Wrestling Perspective, Edwards talks candidly about why Jim Crockett
had to sell the company to Ted Turner and the many personalities with whom
he worked.
The interview is an insider's
perspective into what many people feel was the last great wrestling promotion
in the business.
Edwards was silent about
this chapter in his life for more than 10 years. The only place you can
read his amazing story is in Wrestling Perspective.
In this incredible interview,
Edwards discusses ...
• Taping unique matches such
as the Triple Cage and scaffolds.
• Why he believes too much
national publicity hurt the wrestling industry.
• Why he knew Lex Luger could
never carry WCW.
• How his opinions got him
pushed out of the company.
These topics
and many others are addressed by Edwards in Wrestling Perspective #104.

Edwards on how exposing
the business has hurt wrestling:
"The wrestling fan doesn't
believe he wanted to hear that, even though he might have been thinking
it. Thinking it and knowing it are really two different things. He did
not want to hear that."
Edwards on Jim Cornette:
"I liked Jim Cornette because
he was flamboyant. He was a loudmouth. He was funny as ever. I mean, to
me, yeah, he was witty."
Edwards on why he didn't
want older, established stars being pushed:
"That was another problem
they had with me. I didn't want to go backwards. My whole thing was, hey,
we're new. Let's make some new faces. See I was a face freak. Let's get
some new, exciting, good-looking guys in there."
Edwards on Barry Windham:
"I thought he would have
been it. He was what you were looking for: good-looking, could wrestle,
could talk, should have been money in the bank."
Edwards on Referee Tommy
Young:
"He could go with anything
they wanted to do. He knew what to do. He was believable."

an example:
Worst Musicians: None
other than Fozzie and their hopeless frontman, Chris Jericho. As Moonroof
McTerrible, or whatever he calls himself, Jericho sings like a cat with
a rectal thermometer lodged in its kidney. In fact, cats have been known
to attempt suicide during Jericho's performances. Seriously, there's a
better cover band than this playing in a garage on every street in North
America.
