You probably mentioned it during part 1 and I forgot the answer. But which title was more esteemed, the Southern or Florida titles?

 

Great show by the way.

Florida Title was seen as the gateway to the NWA Title so it held more prestige I guess you could say

That's kind of what I figured. Thanks Kris.

Man, I absolutely love this series with Barry. If you're not a part of his fantastic Facebook group for Florida wrestling, do yourself a favor and get on it. Recently they started a YouTube channel with the best CWF footage to ever hit the net. Some of the stuff these guys talk about is even on there.

It was great seeing the Ladd turn for instance.
