WCCW History
This series focuses on World Class Championship Wrestling out of Dallas, Texas. WCCW peaked in the early 1980s with the popularity of the Von Erichs — Kerry, Kevin and David — and their legendary rivalry with the Fabulous Freebirds. The decline of the territory was in many ways too outlandish for film, but it really happened. WCCW was known for their cutting edge production and incredibly hot crowds, and they spotlighted many of the top wrestlers of the era, including “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin, “Gentleman” Chris Adams, the Midnight Express, the Fantastics, Iceman King Parsons, Gino Hernandez, Rick Rude and Bruiser Brody. Most matches take place at the “world-famous Sportatorium” in Dallas, Texas, and a good chunk also take place at Will Rogers Coliseum in neighboring Fort Worth.
