Special Photo Greeting to the Gateway:
Roddy Piper
Long
time wrestling fans in the Carolinas and Virginia know well that
Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling was one of the great regional
wrestling territories in the history of the sport.
This
web-site is a tribute to the performers and athletes that made Jim
Crockett Promotions the magic place that it was in the 1970s and 1980s.
The
Mid-Atlantic Gateway site will cover Mid-Atlantic Wrestling from
1974-1986, basically the period of time that the
Mid-Atlantic
Heavyweight Championship was recognized. (For more on our
decision to focus on this time frame, click
here.) We want the site to be the definitive resource on the
World Wide Web for information and reference on Mid-Atlantic
Championship Wrestling. As the years go by, we will continue to
build the Mid-Atlantic Almanac,
a collection of comprehensive reference documents on the area that
we will build quarter-by-quarter, year-by-year.
Please visit often!
If you know others who enjoyed these wonderful days gone by, point
them in the direction of our site.
Thanks,
and enjoy!
