The
Mid-Atlantic Gateway is building a list of
all known NWA world title matches to take
place in the Mid-Atlantic territory,
beginning with the 1970s, and will then move
to the 1960s and 1980s. The purpose of this
section is to provide a record of when the
NWA champion was in the area and to document
which wrestlers were receiving title shots.
Results are not offered. (See below for
more.)
The
first pages are for a six year period of
1970-1975. Check back for additional years
which will be added over time.
While these lists are close to
complete, we believe we are missing a few
title matches. If you have information on
an NWA title match we don't have listed
here, please let us know at the Mid-Atlantic Gateway.
The
purpose of the section is to provide a
record of when the NWA champion was in the
area and to document which wrestlers were
receiving title shots. A frequently asked
question is: why no results? If I had
reliable results, and for all matches and
not selected matches, I'd post them. If you
are familiar with newspaper clippings from
the period, especially when you move into
the 1970s, you know how unreliable and
sporadic they were. No attempt was made to
gather meaningful results from the clippings
which were used to compile these lists.
Suffice it to say, the champion retained his
title.
Special
thanks to Mark Eastridge, whose tireless
research on wrestling clippings made this
list possible.
