Fascinating detail on Mantell's critique of the Loser Leaves Town booking. That insight about ending the best drawing program prematurely shows how even successful territories could sabotage their own momentum with shortsighted decisions. The Oates-Outlaws chemistry sounds like it had serious legs left, especially given their Georgia training connection. I've noticed similiar patterns in Mid-South where hot angles got cut off way too early.

Jerry Oates and Mike George will be back on the Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel History show in March this year and we will cover some of 1976 including Jerry and Ted leaving to go back to Georgia and hopefully he can give us some details on it, he has a fantastic memory of the events of his career. I also want to talk to Mike about being booked against Bob Brown in a boxing gimmick and winning the Central States title from Ed Wiskowski.
