GH....Florida wrestling was exceptional during that time perior. It wasn't until cable of the early 80s did we get WOR out of NY and the WWF. Many of the WWF superstars cut their teeth in Florida and then later Georgia. The names of early FL were Dusty Rhodes, Bob ORton Jr. Rocky Johnson, Masked Assasin, Missouri Mauler, Superstar Graham, Rick Flair, Baron Von Raske, the Spoiler, Mike Graham, Steve Kearn, Billy Robinson etc.

You're right about that - it was exceptional! That's where I first found out about wrestlers like the Ortons, Dusty Rhodes, Mr. Wrestling (Tim Woods), Mike Graham and his father, Eddie Graham, and Buddy Colt, just to name a few.
