[@theatagamer90]

WWE took this down at some point. Any hope of getting it back?

[@McMahonHater]

Part 1 is blocked by the WWE because of Copy Right issues. Now that Vince is out maybe you could get in contact with TKO or HHH and talk to them about dropping the block.

[@talkingstraightwithnate]

@@McMahonHateroh ok, I thought I was losing my mind.

[@NotUpdated005]

Lots of good information gets to live a bit longer - thanks to your hard work in memorializing the lineages of wrestling federations/associations - thanks for your work and videos.

[@WrestlingWithTheTruth]

I appreciate all the work you put into these videos…fantastic job!

[@OriginalWrestlingDocumentaries]

Thank you I appreciate the support

I remember when cable finally came to our area (Detroit) and I saw ESPN for the first time and discovered AWA and WCCW. Fun memories.

Thanks food your excellent videos. I appreciate your work on these and the style in whichyou produced them. Again thanks for these.

[@savageman7047]

I bet Pat Patterson was popular in San Francisco...

[@rufust.firefly4890]

LOL. Read his autobio. He started in Canada.

[@tx_outlaw7951]

Imagine what it would be like if we could still have the days like this, and wrestling like this and the 90s

Hey at least we got all of this content these days. As a kid in the Detroit area, I got WWF, NWA/JCP, UWF (my personal favorite), every so often I caught Continental/Southeastern, WWA Bruiser Bedlam, of course World Class and AWA, and even Savoldi's ICW. With all of that, I never saw Florida, GCW was gone by then, Portland, Hawaii, and the rest. It's crazy how much we have access to these days.

[@thecatwrangler9448]

@it’s a double edged sword, no doubt are we living in the best age possible in terms of ability to seek out old media however this is the one form of entertainment where clearly it was better in the past so that’s the only reason I do also semi wish we could be in the past

[@davidfitzpatrick6992]

1:27:20 Just a clarification here. The whole Kaufman vs Lawler feud was fixed. Kaufman and Lawler were actually good friends and because of this they decided to do a program together.

[@jimsmith8993]

Everything was fixed

[@jedioutlaw]

Nah,... it was real.

[@stridedude]

I am shocked .....

[@thecatwrangler9448]

Thank-you

[@kidthump]

Maple Leaf Wrestling was more popular in Buffalo than the NWF was.

[@mr.handbones9591]

It's amazing how technology has slowed down our brain growth. Back then you could run away and had the skills to survive as an adult at the age of 11, but now a days it takes until 26 years old before you could manage that, lol.

[@orangepeel1366]

Awesome documentary of the territories ...AWESOME

[@tonyarceneaux286]

A lot of pro wrestling history in these episodes.

[@stupidasso9739]

Cool thing about technology is a lot of these wrestler's can be downloaded and actually wrestled with on the newer games. Just had a Bruiser Brody Harley Race cage match

[@OswaldBatesIIIEsq]

The main wrestling show that I remember before WWE (even before they got the "f" out) was Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. I still remember the theme song.

[@versiekrueger8335]

That and AWA from original espn..

[@shortyeee21]

I used to watch it on UHF channel 27 in VA Beach! First episode I ever caught was when the Andersons broke Dustys ankle in the cage. I didn't stand a chance and have been a fan ever since!

[@shortyeee21]

@@edwardmarkins2710 Oh man, that is old school brother! I always love hearing the moments that made people become fans! I appreciated how Mid-Atlantic still portrayed itself as a legit sports show, which made the angles seem so much better I think! I also miss the occasional squash match, it was fun starting to cheer for the Mulkleys or George Souh to finally get a win, lol

[@dudleyhamby2029]

I still remember as a dirt poor kid in 1983 living in Tennessee watching MACW. Couldn't wait for Saturday. We as a large family would get together to watch wrestling. It was a much simpler sweeter time in life. I truly miss those days.

[@dalynsanders]

I was a WMAC masters guy myself. Haha I'm too young. My dad is from hour south of dfw so wcccw all day. Then mid atl, houston, and wwwf/early wwf. I wish I was a yout in those times.

[@nebraskajoenelson8987]

Literally went to watch this last night and was like......wtf lol

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Both California promotions were on life support by the time I really got into wrestling . I had heard of The Cow Palace but I knew very little about the talents that worked their until the Guerreros took over .

[@phillynott6811]

When did the Guerreros run the Cow Palace? Gory and Chavo worked LA a bunch but not San Fransisco and certainly not running the territory. They also did not run the LA territory they just worked it , the Guerreros owned and ran El Paso

[@harvtron]

What happened to part 1?

[@sherryirbvin7448]

Great history of the sport.

[@heathhatcher3890]

The rock and vice stole your title lol

[@guardianofchaosBD]

Thanks for the update

[@rorylefty5643]

Loved watching cwf on vacation

[@citizenbeeswax7985]

I can’t believe their tv was cancelled because Roy insisted on spitting tobacco juice on the floor. Bring a damn spit cup, small sacrifice to make.

[@CoreyT127]

The most popular wrestler to ever wrestle in SF. Pat Paterson! That is so wide open for “ insert gay joke “ here.😂

[@johnkolko5199]

No love for Chicago's Bob Luce Wrestling?

[@ThoughtPolice007]

Now that proves that Gorilla was Italian and most likely knew a guy that knew a guy

[@ZekeThePlumber86]

Yes sir! I love long videos! Without competition, wrestling is just so horrible now.

[@TeeKoon]

So true, Vince signing stars seat filler getting a monopolized hold giving him an unfair leverage on wrestlers but complaining about WCW similar practice later. WCW rating made WWF working harder to give better show and new stars like Stone Cold and others, good scripts...Being Kicked in the ass is better than sitting on it.

[@peartreeproductions77]

Got to say for what it's worth, I'm a lappsed fan, I gave up on it some many years ago, my friend got the ppv for aew and got me to watch, I was a happy guy, story telling , not knowing who was going to win, it had alot to offer if watched with an open mind

[@marlonthomas8042]

Anti mask meetings?

[@LennysComet]

showing my age here, i use to go to tv tapings at the hamburg field-house, they would shoot 3 shows a nite, it was horrible how the good guy was always champ, probably one reason i cheered for heels

[@stevedevice1866]

read the notice at the top ;)

[@rufust.firefly4890]

12:17> That's not Walt Harris, but Hank Renner who came after Harris. Ray Stevens, my all time favorite. At his best as a heel and nobody could outdo him on the mic.He was on the first card I attended. Vs Bearcat Wright. LOVED Shire's annual Battle Royals.Whenever a new heel came to the promotion, the standard routine was to rip the local ladies. As in: I now know why it's called the Cow Palace--then they'd derogate the females they'd seen in attendance. 19:06> Walt Harris , left, w/Kenji Shibuya. First time I saw wrestling on KTVU, I was eight yrs old and thought it was real. . 19:31>That's Pepper GOMEZ, not Martin. No mention of the Valiant Bros., Ernie Ladd, The Great Pampero, Paul DeMarco or Lars Anderson who also came through. Pat Patterson and Stevens were great as a tag team.

[@RecallReviews]

Whatever happened to that 5 hour part 1 you had?

[@OriginalWrestlingDocumentaries]

Copy write, wwe had it removed

[@bilklein]

If I have to hear this narrator say Red Bastion instead of Red Bastien one more time...POW! Right in the kisser!

[@stridedude]

Hank Renner was a great straight man, and Roy was an excellent promoter. Had a great 20 year run in the 60 and 70s. Many of their TV preliminaries could pass as main events in the current WWE universe. Put most of the rest of the promotions to shame, especially the WWF.

[@rufust.firefly4890]

I loved The Valiant Bros when they did their thing in the Bay Area.

[@stridedude]

@@rufust.firefly4890 Number 1 number 2, number 2 number 1. Guessing they were more than 2, and not related, and further that the personnel department of the Valiant Brothers was fluid, depending on the time, the year, and the territory.

Did every territory have a World Champion? And what did the NWA championship mean if every territory had it's own champion?

For Pro Wrestling Too Survive it Needs to Re-establish The Territory s

[@geneevans7885]

You are so correct.

[@yayforeffort]

The territories were a mafia like system of control and carny bullshit, they died because they couldn't compete and it's for the best. Only one company per territory limited wrestling growth! Look into local wrestling in your area and you'll find it's doing just fine, there are 2 indies in my area that I go to regularly. wrestling is fine.

[@pooddescrewch8718]

At one time Wrestling was the biggest draw in the nation . Wrestlers were seen as premier athletes . People hurt each other though and it was not long before they figured that it was not worth potentialky being maimed to win a purse . They started fixing matches at the top of the card to protect their top draws health .

It cracks me up when I constantly hear “won the belt”. NO ONE “wins” the belt. It’s AWARDED by the company. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Stop making it seem like they had a hand in “winning”. That gets me every time.

Really dude? In every single promotion since forever, it's been presented as them winning the title. No need to be one of those "well, AKSHULLLY" smarks. Dude clearly worked his ass off on these. Take the smark BS to Twitter.
