The Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Territory History Show returns with Episode 60 and the debut of an exciting new series: “Towns of the Tennessee Territory.”

This week I am joined on the show by special guest Sean Dulaney — the leading historian and author of the acclaimed The History of Professional Wrestling in Evansville book series — for the series premiere. Together we spotlight the town I used to go to on Wednesday night for Gulas-Welch Company wrestling, Evansville, Indiana, one of the most important stops on the classic Memphis/Tennessee territory circuit.

Drawing on Dulaney’s deep archival research, the episode explores Evansville’s territorial-era legacy: the major promoters, unforgettable nights at the Evansville Coliseum, the stars who regularly passed through town, and the city’s unique place in the broader Tennessee territory story. This new series will run alongside the popular ongoing 1976 Territory Review Series, giving fans always distinct deep dives into the golden age of regional wrestling each week.

Don’t miss the launch of “Towns of the Tennessee Territory” — available now on all major podcast platforms, YouTube, and the Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Substack.

Step into the Time Tunnel and discover the towns that built the territories!
