Dave Meltzer recently wrote, “In Texas in 1982, the state department oflabor and standards reported 1.3 million people attended pro wrestling. Keep inmind that was a bad year for the most part, and 1983-1984 had to dwarf thosenumbers. This was one state, commission numbers verified and if anything theyare lower than the real numbers given no computerized ticketing and promotersnotorious for lying about houses in that era.” It would appear that likethe multitude of fans who lived in Texas at that time, the voters whoparticipated in this set by in large agreed that 1983-1984 were the most incredibleyears to watch World Class Championship Wrestling.

Acknowledgements & Credits
I have done the best I can with the data and attempted to keep all the information correct, credible and consistent. Anyone finding mistakes or inconsistencies is encouraged to write to indeedwrestling@gmail.com so that I can correct this webpage.
Process: A set of DVDs was sent to voters as well as put online. After watching all the matches, each voter would send their ballots to me. I would check that the ballot was valid (150 unique matches, all given a unique rank) and enter it into my spreadsheet. If there was a problem, I would contact the voter and in all cases I was able to get a clarification.
I would like to especially thank my wife Alissa, Will & Phil and the rest of the DVDVR staff, all the voters and BK.
