Underappreciated Wrestling Territories/Promotions

[Seth82]

what promotions/territories do you feel are under appreciated

with the recent death of Randy Savage I have been looking at his father's outlaw promotion called International Championship Wrestling

it was an outlaw promotion since they weren't affiliated with the NWA

and Randy was considered there world's champion for nearly 4 yrs

ICW ran from 1979 til 1984 and mainly in Kentucky, Cape Giradeau Missouri, West Virginia and some Illinois towns

Angelo Poffo is Randy's father and he too wrestled in the 60's and 70's

in ICW he wore a mask and was known as The Miser

some of the names that worked here were Bob Orton Jr, Ronnie Garvin, One Man Gang as Crusher Broomfield, Buddy Landell, Pez Whatley, Lanny Poffo, Randy Savage, & Hustler Rip Rogers

The Sheik, Ernie Ladd and Ox Baker all made brief appearances here as well

here's a few youtube clips

this first clip is their tv intro circa 1981
