Charting The Territories

  The latest episode of the Charting the Territories podcast is here!

Here’s a look at the 3rd quarter of 1973 in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. We look at the talent roster, title histories, the big feuds in the territory, and a schedule of all known house shows. I’d like to thank Dick Bourne and Mark Eastridge of the Mid-Atlantic Gateway for providing the bulk of the house show records I used to compile this data. The Gateway, which is updated regularly by David Chappell, is an invaluable resource. I strongly encourage you to visit (and bookmark!) it: http://www.midatlanticgateway.com

The latest episode of Wrestling History Mysteries is Part II of "The Curious Case of Mr. Szabo", a multi-part series in which I attempt to uncover the identity of a masked wrestler who worked for Leroy McGuirk in February & March, 1963.

Welcome to Chapter 23 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 1981, Scandor Akbar returns, a surprisingly thin main-event roster, applying critical thinking in the absence of match results, and more!
