THE
ALMANAC
We
want the Mid-Atlantic Gateway to be
the definitive resource on the web
for information and reference on
Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling.
The Mid-Atlantic
Almanac forms the foundation
of this effort. Currently, you will
find these sections of information:
MID-ATLANTIC
WRESTLING HISTORY AND THE ROSTER
David
Chappell documents what we all
watched on television each week with
detail not found in any other
resource. The Roster lists everyone
on the team, from wrestlers to
announcers to referee and everyone
else in between.
THE
CHAMPIONSHIP
Dick
Bourne documents the origin,
evolution, and history of the
Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight title. Also
included are histories of the other
championships defended in the
Mid-Atlantic territory under the
auspices of Jim Crockett Promotions.
TELEVISION
HISTORY
Dick
Bourne documents the history of
Mid-Atlantic Wrestling on TV,
including a look at all of the
programs that crossed the airwaves,
the television studios where they
took place, and the voices that
brought them to life.
The
Almanac is work in progress.
Material will continually be added
in the weeks and months to come.
Special
thanks to Mark Eastridge.
