Thank you so much for this video. I watch a fair amount of shoot interviews and podcasts that cover the territory era, but the NWF is one territory that I always wanted to learn more about, but there's so little out there about it. Whenever a wrestler that worked for the NWF has a career shoot, the NWF might get mentioned in passing, but the interviewers always want to focus on other parts of their careers, so it's a territory that is somewhat "lost" to history. I'm glad I got to see this interview. I had a little hard time at a certain part with the audio, when he was talking about the towns that the NWF visited. I am interested in what towns they went to and it sounded like he said they went to Utica, but I may have heard that wrong? I had thought that the furthest east they went regularly was Rochester, with occasional spots in Syracuse, so I am kind of interested if they did indeed go even further east into Utica.

They ran about 40 dates a year in Utica on Monday nights.
