“The Territories” is a special multi-volume series that takes you across the entire wrestling world during the era of the most tickets sold, active full-time promotions, and events in big arenas in the sport’s history. In each installment, we’ll show you the greatest and most high-quality surviving footage of what made the area so successful, unique, and talked about to this day!
Today, the office is sending you to… DETROIT!
The style of pro wrestling in the Motor City often mirrored that of the fans who watched it… gritty and fearless. Legendary villain and hardcore wrestling forefather The Sheik served as promoter and the featured attraction, more often than not as reigning United States Heavyweight Champion. Tough men from across the wrestling world would come to town as the noble hero aiming to end The Sheik’s reign of terror and fellow sadists would migrate to the area either to try to top The Sheik’s violence or co-exist alongside it. What resulted were unforgettable rivalries, legends-in-the-making, and clashes area fans still talk about today. From fireballs to shark cages to future World Champions, Detroit had it all, and now you can enjoy the most comprehensive collection of matches from its heyday ever assembled!
