Dave LaGrecca and ECW legend Tommy Dreamer break down the legacy of the territories

and delve into Continental Championship Wrestling.

Welcome to Legacy of the Territories. I'm your host Dave LaGrecca

and here with the heart and soul of Professional Wrestling, the landlord and the House of Hardcore.

Tommy Dreamer and on this episode, we talk about another territory, Tommy,

that isn't really talked about as much as I think it should be and that's Continental Championship Wrestling.

Yes, and in the history of the business, we all talk about South Eastern Championship Wrestling.

This one little key demo market that so many people have just I want to say brushed over, glanced over.

But it was so key to the history of the business and that one territory from Alabama,

then you go north for where the ghoulos territory was and it was in between Memphis and Nashville,

this Knoxville territory, which is such a hotbed that end down south like this area of just not the most populated or like more rural.

But yet I know a lot of wrestlers came through there, but also the biggest part, like you know,

aren't answering when he said to me, on what was your favorite territory and he would be like Continental Championship Wrestling.

That speaks volumes for it of how great this was and he was like, work out, lay on the beach.

I'm young. I get to do whatever I want. You're in and out.

You're famous. You're on this local TV. Repeat, do the next day.

Again, and I think when you look at whether it's South Eastern Championship Wrestling or Continental Championship Wrestling,

you think of the fullers, you know, and other one of the families that when you look over the territories,

whether it was the funks or the fullers or the Von Erichs, you know, who are you going to trust?

Who are you going to have loyalty with your family members? And I think South Eastern Championship Wrestling is an example of that, Tommy.

The fullers and the Armstrongs. Those two names are synonymous with that territory. Who is the booker? Who's the owner?

There's a lot of transitions during this time of ownership or, hey, I'm going to take my company and I'm going to do this.
