A longtime mecca for
pro wrestling, the Dallas/Ft. Worth area is best known as the home base of
Southwest Sports, Inc., the promotion owned and operated by longtime National
Wrestling Alliance member Jack Adkisson (known in the ring as "Fritz Von
Erich").
After using the brand
name "Big Time Wrestling" for some fifteen years, Adkisson made the
terms "World Class Championship Wrestling" and "World Class
Wrestling Wrestling Association" (used interchangeably during the same
period) famous around the world in the early 1980's.
By 1986, the entire
wrestling world was in a state of anarchy. Adkisson dropped out of the NWA and
recognized his own "World heavyweight champion." He also got a slot
on ESPN.
In 1987, Ken Mantell,
a former associate of both Adkisson and Watts, started a new company called
Wild West Wrestling, which eventually merged into the company that promoted the
"World Class" brand.
In 1988, Memphis-based
Jarrett Promotions, Inc. bought the wrestling assets of Southwest Sports, Inc.
and promoted shows out of the Dallas Sportatorium under the "United States
Wrestling Association" brand name (see the USWA
section here). Jarrett didn't last long there and was soon replaced at the
Dallas Sportatorium, and on ESPN by a Georgia-based group called the Global
Wrestling Federation (see the GWF section here).
