Black Saturday is the name wrestling fans gave to July 14th 1984, the day Vince McMahon appeared on Ted Turner's TBS and taking over the Saturday 6:05 timeslot with WWF programming.
Up until Vince McMahon and the WWF appeared on the Superstation, Georgia Championship Wrestling aired on the channel every Saturday night with their wrestling show named "World Championship Wrestling" (not to be confused with the WCW promotion that would exist years later after Turner purchased Jim Crockett Promotions). Wrestling fans enjoyed Georgia Championship Wrestling's Saturday shows, they tuned into the Superstation to see Gordon Solie host their favourite weekly wrestling broadcast while, at the same time, showing a dislike for Vince McMahon's more "cartoony" form of Pro Wrestling in New York. McMahon tried to purchase the timeslot on WTBS but Turner refused to sell, and so McMahon managed to buy Georgia Championship Wrestling - leading to WWF matches taking place on the World Championship Wrestling show on the Superstation. Many within the NWA felt that this was the end of an era, and fans were livid that their wrestling was replaced by Vince McMahon's brand of "sports entertainment". If we compare it to today, it would be like Vince McMahon appearing on TNT during an AEW Dynamite broadcast and announcing that Raw and Smackdown matches would air instead of AEW matches.
This video looks at Black Saturday, how Vince McMahon bought Georgia Chmapionship Wrestling, and how McMahon would eventually sell the timeslot and move ahead with WrestleMania 1.
