Territories vs. Indys

Recommended Posts

Guest ChikoDemono

I've been reading a few articles at kayfabememories.com about the old 80s/early 90s wrestling territories and have been wondering if there is a difference between the regionals from old and the regionals from new. I don't know enough information regarding both, so I came on here to ask your guys' opinions.

 

Is there a real difference between the old territories and today's indys? Thanks in advance.

The main difference is the number of shows, really. The old territories had a set series of towns they'd work through on a consistent basis, usually weekly. (The Memphis territory would work Memphis Monday, Evansville Tuesday, Louisville once a week, etc.) Most indies these days, even the successful ones, only do one or two shows a month period, much less through an entire circuit of towns.

 

Unless you count ECW's pre-TNN days, the last successful "territory" would have been Smoky Mountain in 1992-1995.
