Episode 29: The WWA in 1975 with guest Dave Dynasty

Our podcast focuses in on a by-gone era of regional booking offices in the territory era of wrestling talent in historic towns and legendary buildings around the world. On this week’s episode, we discuss the promotion owned by Dick The Bruiser and Wilbur Snyder, the World Wrestling Association. What was the television like? And the towns, such as the home base of Indianapolis, Indiana, as well as Champaign, Illinois, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Bloomington, Hammond, Lafayette, Gary, Indiana and sharing Chicago, Illinois with the AWA. We are going to dig into the history of the territory as well as the WWA World Champion for most of 1975, Ox Baker and the WWA World Tag Champs, Sgt Jaques Goulet and Pvt LaBeouf, The Legionnaires. Dave lets us in on some of Dick The Bruiser’s simple booking philosophy that kept the WWA rolling in dollars and television viewers throughout the mid-1960s and all through the 1970s. You will enjoy this episode on one of the least talked about territories of the territory era in professional wrestling, the WWA!
