This book provides a detailed look at Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling in the early 1970s. Gulf Coast has long been considered one of the best kept secrets in the wrestling world. It was where Bobby Shane first became a king, where Don Fargo caused even more chaos than usual, and where a 50-year old woman named "Maw" may have been the toughest of them all. The book features records for over 1,300 house shows and lists all of the wrestlers who competed regularly in the territory between 1971 and 1973, from local legends like Cowboy Bob Kelly, Lee Fields, and "Hippie" Mike Boyette to future superstars like Greg Valentine and Kevin Sullivan. Featuring unique statistics that measure the role of each wrestler and what their biggest feuds were, Charting the Territories is a one-of-a-kind look at pro wrestling in the territorial era.
