" Before introducing the first wrestlers, he introduced the time keeper, the "ringside physician," and the referee.
I like that idea a lot, in the current state those guys are usually kept as nameless as possible unless involved in a storyline

The overwhelming majority of matches were squashes. I believe that the faces and heels won about the same number of squashes. Each night there was one match that was not a squash. They were referred to as being held "in the dark" and took place before the televised match. Occasionally, there were matches that weren't squashes, and once in a long while tag team championships would be shown. I never remember any individual championship take place on television.
This wouldn't go over too well today, but I can see where it worked extremely well in the given situation, allowing the main guys to get a reputation of being unstoppable - I think perhaps the WWE should go back to basics, but not quite that far :)
