Before the national expansion of Pro Wrestling the business was split into many different regional promotions referred to as "the territories". Each territory competed within their own regional boundaries with unqiue wrestling stars, championship belts, and local TV. We talk the good old days from the territory era, from the AWA to JCP, New York to Los Angeles, Memphis to Mid-South, Portland to Florida, Stampede to Maple Leaf, Houston to Dallas, well... you get the point!

Rasslin 101: Chicago Wrestling History Part 2 (With Richard Vicek)

This week on Regional Rasslin, Guest Richard Vicek returns to talk more Chicago Wrestling Club history. We pick up where we left off in the mid 1970s as we talk more Stadium events, Johnny Starr replacing Bobby Heenan's spot, Wilbur Snyder in Tie-Dye, the decline of the territory throughout the early 1980s, WWA talent being shunned in the dying days of the promotion, and much more! Plus, we go back to the 70s and listen to some super rare old school interviews with the likes of Heenan, Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens & Ox Baker!
