The Regional Rasslin' Podcast returns with Episode 3 as we wrap up the year of 1977 in the WWWF. We're joined once again by Guest Co-Host John McAdam of the Stick to Wrestling Podcast as we talk Ken Patera's path of destruction, Billy White Wolf's Injury, Bob Backlund vs. Tor Kamata in a Texas Death Match... on TV. School's out for summer, which means George Steele is in the WWF. We'll also look at Andre the Giant, "High Chief" Peter Maivia, Dusty Rhodes, Mil Mascaras, Spiros Arion, Haystacks Calhoun, Gorilla Monsoon, Ivan Putski, Stan Stasiak, Bruiser Brody, The Golden Terror, and so much more! Plus, who is the 1977 Manager of the Year? Well, we took our OWN poll on social media and let our listeners decide! Spoiler alert, it wasn't Arnold Skaaland! All of that, plus a special tribute to wrestling legend Johnny Powers!

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!
