Florida with guys like Kevin, Terry Funk and Dusty, was the original ECW. They had matches like Barbed Wire and Hardcore rules that got them thrown out of towns. Kevin, Mark Lewin and his crew were the template for Raven's Flock and the Wyatt Family.

I've recently been bouncing around this theory that everything in rasslin' goes back to Memphis... Like, everything-everything. As a native Fla-rid-yin, I find this very interesting even if it's a flaw in my theory.

i think that it's amazing how much Jim knows about the history of pro wrestling and it's from watching him with the midnight Express that i learned that it was alot more fun to b a heel than a baby face unless of course u found yourself in one of those small towns where everyone took it way to serious and as Jim says u packed ur bags before the match and left them at the back door so u could get out of the building fast and out of town even faster

I was 11 when I moved with Mom to central Florida. I arrived in time to witness the start of the slow week to week transformation of Kevin to a heel. It was brilliant and entertaining. They could never do that in todays world. People today want things to happen immediately. We didn’t realize it then but territory style wrestling just seemed more believable. The WWF may have taken wrestling to new heights but damn I preferred the territories. I guess because that’s what I grew up with. I remember when Billy Jack Haynes came to CWF. Moved back to Bama and few months later Billy Jack was coming to WWF. I honestly thought he was the next big thing. Still a fan. Haynes was believable and over in Florida.

Corny's interview style is leaps and bounds ahead of the shit on WWE network. The territories were more than just geographic locations they represented the cultural differences across the States now all that is left is a homogenized and sterilized husk of what wrestling used to be. To make a comic book reference the reason why DC and Marvel are so successful isn't because of the main guys like Batman and Iron Man but because of the vast canon they draw from; no character, writer or era is the same yet it all still co-exists. Wrestling would've remained successful if there was at least the illusion of competition or distinction between promotions. Even if Vince still only operated out of the North East he would've been loaded, and would've had other promoters do his work for him in producing newer talent. Wrestlers would've had longer careers if they pissed off a promoter they could go somewhere else.

Wrestling was doomed to be consolidated into one or two national territories. Before cable TV, most fans only saw their territory’s promotion. After cable, there was intra-territory competition. Fans could see other territories, and the weaker ones were going to lose their business. Vince cashed in, but if not Vince, it would have been someone else.
