In the former "NWA" Mid-Atlantic territory of North & South Carolina and Virginia once you live through the best years of Ric Flair, Wahoo, The Koloffs, Paul Jones Army, "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant and so many others both good and bad its harder to get into a company with a lack of workers who have history in the area.
Stone Cold and DX had a huge following though. Anyone who has a "conflict with Vince" is huge in the area.
