Description
Death of the Territories Expansion, Betrayal and the War that Changed Pro Wrestling Forever by Tim Hornbaker The professional wrestling landscape of North America was once divided into distinct territories, each with its own unique brand of wrestling that resonated with local fans. For decades, these regional promotions operated independently, with promoters often coordinating with their associates in surrounding areas. However, the rise of cable television in the early 1980s brought new challenges and opportunities to the industry. A pivotal moment in this transformation came when a visionary entrepreneur seized the chance to take his promotion national. By introducing innovative ideas and taking calculated risks, he was able to outmaneuver his rivals and establish a new era in professional wrestling. This book provides a comprehensive look at the events that led to this seismic shift, including the strategies employed by the entrepreneur and the power plays of those who opposed him. Through never-before-revealed information, Death of the Territories offers a detailed account of the war that changed the face of professional wrestling forever.
