Shark Bytes
The only reason I ever watched this show was because some of the NWA wrestlers would appear on it (not to mention that locally it came on right after NWA wrestling).
This show jumped as soon as it was aired. I remember watching this piece of garbage only because I was a big qwrestling fan. This show insukted my intelligence as a wrestling fan. I remember in one episode when they had Hawk and Animal, The Road Warriors, on and they had them as unintelligent morons. Even the great Ric Flair couldn't show a spark of entusiasam when he appeared on this piece of crap show. I think this is what started the downfall of the NWA an d allowed Turner to buy it. The only way this show could have been worse is if Hulk Hogan had been on it.
It jumped the shark as soon as you heard the first note of the sappy Alan Thicke-penned theme song. Who green lit this?
Lyle Alzado as a wrestler-by-night, principal-by-day, and it is boatloads of unfunny. Yet another entry into Canada's pitiful resume of traditional sitcoms. This baby earns bonus marks for Nicole Stoffman thinking that it was a good career move to leave the Degrassi franchise for this debacle. A whole bunch of NWA wrestling stars are along for the ride, and you haven't lived until you've seen Ronnie Garvin trying to do bad comedy.
Typical 80s syndicated sitcom with a low budget, bad acting, and horrible scripts. Lyle Alzado played Robert Randall, who was both a teacher AND a vice-principal...but he still didn't make enough bread for himself and his two kids so he had to moonlight as an NWA wrestling jobber (the guy who always loses the match to the main event stars) to make ends meet! Watching real-life NWA wrestling stars (Ric Flair, Larry Zybysko, Ricky Morton, Ronnie Garvin and others) struggle with their grade-school dialogue was good for some cheap laughs.
