Saturday, July 14, 1984. In terms of the history of American professional wrestling, that day has become infamously known as "Black Saturday" – the day Vince McMahon's WWF appeared on Superstation WTBS screens – replacing Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) and World Championship Wrestling after twelve years. To many, that move was what lit the fuse on the explosive rivalry between McMahon and Superstation WTBS Ted Turner – who would go on to purchase GCW successor Jim Crockett Promotions and form World Championship Wrestling (WCW). With Vice TV about to present Who Killed WCW? next month, it seems only fitting that the fifth season finale of Evan Husney & Jason Eisener's Dark Side of the Ring takes us back to when it all began. Here's a look at the overview & promo for "Black Saturday: The Rise of Vince":
