It was later renamed WCW Pro Wrestling in December 1990 after Turner Broadcasting bought JCP in 1988.

In 1990, a hybrid edition of WCW Pro Wrestling began airing over WPIX in New York City and WGN-TV in Chicago; these two shows featured the same matches as the national version, but with wraparound segments localized for the specific markets inserted.

In late-September 1991, the New York version moved to WCBS-TV where the show aired in a late-night Saturday slot.

WCW Pro Chicago was hosted by Tony Schiavone and veteran WGN sports broadcaster Jack Brickhouse.

Scott Hudson and Larry Zbyszko hosted the in-studio segments while Lee Marshall and Mike Tenay called the matches.
