Charting The Territories

As part of my continuing effort to cram as much (potentially) interesting & useful information as possible into the charts we produce on a regular basis, I have added a "Bookings per Week" column to the SPOT Ratings chart.

As a supplement to my appearance on Episode #272 of the Between the Sheets podcast (you can check out all their episodes at betweenthesheetspod.com ), I decided to "chart" some of the territories discussed during the show.

I have put together an 85-page PDF file documenting the entire run of George & Gil Culkin's ICW (later renamed AWA Championship Wrestling) wrestling territory from October 1977 through August 1979.

Welcome to Chapter 11 of The McGuirk/Watts Wrestling Almanac, an in-depth data-driven look at the wrestling territory run by Leroy McGuirk (and later, Bill Watts). The territory is most commonly known as Tri-State Wrestling and/or Mid-South Wrestling, though neither of those names were actually used until September 1979 when Watts split from McGuirk.

In the 4th quarter of 1980, a feud straight out of a Jim Croce song, Jake Roberts and the Grappler battle over title belts, Ole Anderson tries to collect a bounty on the Cowboy & more!
