Regional Rasslin' - Territory Talk

This week on Regional Rasslin', Guest Gene Jackson returns to tackle more 1985 Memphis goodness as we continue through April 1985. The TV program gets a new intro & theme, but everything that can go wrong, does... The Macho Man attacks Lance Russel, but stay tuned to find out why nobody cared... There's no Dave Brown so Lance Russell is forced to go at it alone as the Top Rope Breaks... TWICE... Audio issues with Nick Bockwinkel's phone call, Steve Keirn cusses on air, we say goodbye to Cyclops, Sweet Daddy Siki, Eddie Gilbert & Dutch Mantel. Plus, Constance & Ashley the "world beaters", Jerry Oski has issues with Mike Sharpe, Bobby Colt arrives, and Mid-South Coliseum action sees Southern Champion Randy Savage takes on Nick Bockwinkel, and the PYT's defeat The Fabs for the Tag Team belts.

What is Regional Rasslin' - Territory Talk?

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!
