Most fans of the old Mid-Atlantic Wrestling territory remember the shows taped for nearly two decades at WRAL studios in Raleigh, and the final two years taped at the ridiculously small WPCQ studios in Charlotte. What many may not remember are the other studio locations in the 1950s and 1960s where Crockett Promotions taped wrestling matches to promote their many local events. Places like High Point NC, Roanoke VA, and Greenville SC.

This section on our site explores all of those various studio locations.
