Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Presents: Personalities, Territories, Towns & Buildings Episode 25, we go to Championship Wrestling from Florida in the year 1975.

My new Florida analyst and commentator is the amazing Howard Baum. Howard’s experience with the Florida Territory started in 1975, so its only appropriate that is where we begin our journey. The Florida Territory was athletic and sports-based and most everything made logical sense. Harley Race was the booker for most of 1975, after the departure of Bill Watts to his home Oklahoma Territory in March of that year. We discuss the match-ups, the babyfaces, the heels, the matches, the angles and the incomporable television show, Championship Wrestling from Florida. Hang on, it’s a great ride as we go back in time to the Sunshine State for Florida 1975!
