Acerca de esta escucha

For decades, distinct professional wrestling territories thrived across North America. Each regionally based promotion operated individually and offered a brand of localized wrestling that greatly appealed to area fans. Promoters routinely coordinated with associates in surrounding regions, and the cooperation displayed by members of the National Wrestling Alliance made it easy for wrestlers to traverse the landscape with the utmost freedom.

Dozens of territories flourished between the 1950s and late '70s. But by the early 1980s, the growth of cable television had put new outside pressures on promoters. An enterprising third-generation entrepreneur who believed cable was his opportunity to take his promotion national soon capitalized on the situation.

A host of novel ideas and the will to take chances gave Vincent Kennedy McMahon an incredible advantage. McMahon waged war on the territories and raided the NWA and AWA of their top talent. By creating WrestleMania, jumping into the pay-per-view field, and expanding across North America, McMahon changed professional wrestling forever.

Great hardcore knowledge

A great listen for people who already know a fair bit about it. Might be too specific for those who don’t already know a bit about this.

Chill

Nice basic intro to the breakdown of the territories. Nothing super in debt but gives you a playing field in which you can do your own research and fine it easier going into deeper waters.

Great for old-school rasslin fans

I really enjoy learning more about old school pro wrestling, er, rasslin and this has that! My knowledge of wrestling (for what it is) is mostly post-1984 and WWF's rock and wrestling, so hearing old NWA stories and about the territory days is fascinating to me. There were a few times where I was like, "really?" and in some good ways, some bad. Like talking about all the bad taste angles done in World Class by the Von Erichs and I didn't remember the Fritz-fake heart attack angle being mentioned at all. It was fun listening to 1983 in particular and how Vince was setting the stage for his national take over. Anyway, if you like old rassling stories, this is for you!

A Great Entry Point

This is a great entry point for those looking to learn about the history of a very uniquely American sport/art.

There obviously isn't enough room to cover everything in the dying days of the territories, but, this sure manages to cover a lot of ground.

While reading, it was very easy for me to get engrossed and completely lose track of time. The narration was performed very well and I didn't catch any mispronunciations or other audio errors.

I highly recommend this book.
