Long time wrestling fans in the Carolinas and Virginia know well that Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling was one of the great regional wrestling territories in the history of the sport. This web-site is a tribute to the performers, promoters, venues, and great athletes that made Jim Crockett Promotions the magic place that it was in the 1970s and 1980s. The Mid-Atlantic Gateway site will cover Mid-Atlantic Wrestling from late 1973-1986, basically the period of time that the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship was recognized. (For more on our decision to focus on this time frame, click here.) We want the site to be the definitive resource on the World Wide Web for information and reference on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. As the years go by, we will continue to build the Mid-Atlantic Almanac, a collection of comprehensive reference documents on the area that we will build month-by-month, year-by-year. Please visit often! If you know others who enjoyed these wonderful days gone by, point them in the direction of our site. Thanks, and enjoy! - Dick Bourne & David Chappell The Mid-Atlantic Gateway
