Underappreciated Wrestling Territories/Promotions
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


Bob Orton Jr and Randy Savage promo challenging Ray Stevens and Pat Patterson


Miss Macho Man contest - which Randy's nemesis Ron Garvin foils


Ronnie Garvin exposes Randy Savage as the brother of Lanny Poffo


Ox Baker's false teeth gets knocked out and Ronnie Garvin stomps on them


Randy Savage is freaking out about The One Man Gang Ronnie Garvin

Bill Savage went over to the (Stu Hart) house and one of the Hart kids was running around with his hair wet. Savage asked why his hair was wet. Stu said, "the little bast--d broke a vase this morning, so I stuck his head in the toilet. Want me to show you again?"

now now sweetheart, we don't want your Mother knowing you use words like that

And the UWF, mainly because of Herb Abrams.

Quote:
Before his death, while high on cocaine, Abrams was found nude, destroying furniture with a baseball bat in his New York office, while covered in a "vaseline" type substance, in the company of prostitutes. Not long afterwards, he died while in police custody, of a heart attack. He had cocaine stuck all over his body when he died
Come onnnn. What a guy.

XPW- I think their booking was shit, but they had some talent that didn't rely on light tubes. The Messiah was awesome on the mic, great in the ring, and he just had this vibe that wanted me to give him a thumbs up.

Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling/UWF was just a tremendous territory during the 80's

it seems to be under appreciated by the people on this board

literally some of the biggest stars in the biz worked here like Dr Death Steve Williams, Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Shawn Michaels, Jim Ross, Barry Windham, Paul Orndorff, JYD, Ted Dibiase, Magnum TA, Freebirds, Rock and Roll Express, Midnight Express, Chris Adams and the list goes on and on

Mid-South ran from September 1979 til 1985 when Watts changed the name to the Universal Wrestling Federation which it closed down in late 1987

Mid-South TV Intro circa 1982


UWF TV Intro


Freebirds contract signing


A tag match between Stng & Korstia Korchenko vs Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Koko B. Ware turns into a brawl


Sting vs Bill Watts - The Freebirds jump in at the end




Ted Dibiase vs Shawn Michaels from 1985








From August 1, 1987 UWF telecast, Dr Death Steve Williams defeats Big Bubba Rogers for the UWF World Title! Includes celebration in the dressing room with Dusty Rhodes, Barry Windham, Brad Armstrong, Jim Ross.

UWF is a good one.

Figs suggested AJPW, which imo is a very appreciated promotion, I might be wrong.

And 450 better be joking with XPW. Besides Messiah and Kaos they had no talent / booking / production value / nothing...

Ron Fuller's Southeastern Championship Wrestling was pretty damn good in its day as well

ran from 1974 til december of 1989

in the mid 80's it was renamed Continental Wrestling Federation to give the impression they toured the country

their tv shows went from being taped in TV Studios to local arenas

here's a few youtube clips

this is their tv intro


Ric Flair promo on Jimmy Golden


Ric Flair vs Ron Fuller - Bob Armstrong's famous heel turn
he acted as the special guest ref in this match


Austin Idol comes to the desk to talk about what happened to him in the beatdown and the cage match vs Jimmy Golden. Mr. Olympia is with him.




Robert Fuller/Jimmy Golden music video


A collection of Interviews and Promos:
1. Personality Segment with the Arn Anderson, Jimmy Golden and Ron Fuller
2. A promo about the dangers of a Cage match
3. Mr. Olympia Promo
4. Interview with the entire Studd Stable( Fuller, Arn, Jimmy Golden, Lord Humongous and the Assassin)




The Studd stable come out to talk about the cage match from the previous week with Robert Fuller vs Jimmy Golden. After that is a interview with a bloody Robert Fuller backstage.

Make a strong case for the GWF (Global Wrestling Federation). Featuring such talents as the Patriot, Eddie Gilbert (RIP), Handsome Stranger (Fluff Fagswell I mean Buff Bagwell), Scotty Flamingo (early Raven), Lightning Kid (Sean Waltman), Jerry Lynn, and the Ebony Experience (who would go on to become the Harlem Heat).

Puerto Rico's WWC (World Wrestling Council)...which is Carlito's dad's company.

A lot of wrestlers who became famous either in the WWF or WCW, made a stop in Puerto Rico before going to "the big time"...

...guys such as Randy Savage (before he signed with the WWF), Hulk Hogan (before he signed with the WWF), Andre The Giant (before he signed with the WWF), Scott Hall (before he became Razor Ramon), Sean Morley (before he became Val Venis), Bret Hart (before he signed with the WWF), just to name a few.

WWC used to be really great in the 80's

Bruiser Brody's murder really hurt the promotion because alot of guys refused to go back and work there

Jose Gonzalez who murdered Brody basically got away with murder

You're getting All Star and Joint Promotions mixed up. All Star had some of those guys on over a large space of time (Brookside still works for them, Regal was on during his WCW run etc) The run you're thinking of from the late 70's through the 80's with those guys was Joint/World of Sport. All Star are still going and are appreciated/recognized an appropriate amount for the level they're on.

The AWA wasn't unappreciated at all but I'd really like to post this video again.

Used to love GWF. Good call.

tna does not have that much rep yet (10+)
At one time, Grand Prix Wrestling was televised and had major success until World Wrestling Entertainment bought Grand Prix Wrestling from Emile Dupree. Notable wrestlers who have wrestled in Grand Prix Wrestling include Edge, Christian, Killer Kowalski, André the Giant, Harley Race, and Ric Flair.

You're right. I always get those mixed up, because I liked the talent they had. Besides, I used to watch World of Sport, while I was living in Europe.

Yeah, that was the Continental Wrestling Association, which would evolve into United States Wrestling Association, after merging with World Class Championship Wrestling in 1989.
