From The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Page & Website:
"Billy Powell, who was an institution for wrestling fans on WFBC TV and radio, was also the long time ring announcer for Jim Crockett Promotions at the weekly Monday night cards at the BillyGreenville Memorial Auditorium and also was ring announcer at the old Textile Hall which was home to many Greenville cards. Powell also did two 1-minute local promotional spots during "Mid-Atlantic Championship *Wrestling" from 1975-1985 that were in addition to the two 2:20 promotional spots that were taped each week in Raleigh. The Raleigh-produced spots featured the wrestlers, but the two WFBC spots simply featured Billy Powell's friendly, welcoming voice on top of a very old-school wrestling graphic (seen above left.) Billy would remind fans of what happened last Monday night at the Auditorium and would invite you down for this coming week's event. Promoter Paul Winkhaus called Billy "the golden voice of channel 4."
*For fans in the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market, Billy Powell's voice was as much a part of the experience as the voices of TV hosts Bob Caudle and David Crockett. His was the voice that those fans trusted the most. When his local promos were discontinued in the mid-80s, wrestling on WFBC lost that personal touch that Powell had given it. Several years later they tore down the Memorial Auditorium and "local" wrestling was gone forever in Greenville."
