Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Presents: Territories, Towns & Buildings: Kansas City 1975

Our Territories, Towns & Buildings podcast focuses in on a by-gone era of regional booking offices of wrestling talent in historic towns and legendary buildings around the world.

On today’s show, I welcome former NWA Central States Heavyweight Champion, NWA World Tag Team Champion and All-Asian Tag Team Champion, Jerry Oates. We discuss the Kansas City Territory, Bob Geigel, Bob Brown, The Cormier Brothers, Jerry’s brother Ted, his father-in-law Milo Steinborn, his two legendary brother-in-laws plus other facts about the territory in 1975 in a pre-cable television business environment.
