The history of the rise of the Pro Wrestling industry from its beginnings in 1920

smw88 · April 13, 2017

1950 A new decade or more of the old?

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/1950_zpsiu1krul8.jpg

The fifties, a time of increasing optimism, faster and more global travel and communications begin to open up. TV starts to make Radio doubt itself.

Will Japan and JCW continue to reign supreme perhaps even look to gain popularity outside the homeland?

Will another nation throw up a new contender to lead the industry into the later half of the century?

Mexico was coming on a strong second in the forties, Great Britain, Canada and the USofA all close on their heels, who will break the regional and or Japanese ceiling first or will the industry implode?!

Industry News

New Canadian company CFW opened its doors this year, Canadian Federation of Wrestling.

FEW received an anonymous donation of a staggering $5m from a fans will saving them from bankruptcy.

ELPF & PoG are now hostile to each other as are ELPF & MOW.

This is the year TV takes off around the world for Wrestling.

Is the Midlands Wrestling Promotion still runnin'?</div></blockquote> Reasons for EPW I live in Essex! The owner will fit the mold lol There was no other promotion in this region of the UK Something different for me at least. Although towie ****ing piece of shit crap TV that is ruining the county lol Will look up a recap on mwp. Just wait till more real wrestlers and promotions start merging as some take very different angles to real life. By the 1980's this should be one unique world in every sense

Wrestling had existed in many forms for thousands of years, what we saw in 1920 was the next logical step for such a popular sport.

Following in the steps of Boxing there was a movement predominantly in the US of A to launch Wrestling to the masses and to take steps away from the Olympic style in order to do two things. provide a new and exiting form of entertainment, and to be well paid for doing so.

One man had a vision, that man was Don Loomis

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/Don%20Loomis_zpsyordd63v.jpg

He founded the first true Pro Wrestling Company in February 1920
Southern Pro Wrestling, based out of Mississippi.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/SPW_alt2_zpssk07nmvm.jpg

The very first World Champion was crowned in April 1920

Levi Andrews

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/Levi%20Andrews_zpsopgowr9h.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d46/stuartmwilson/tew/New%20World/BritLH_zpsrcg9ojie.jpg

SPW would also go on to crown their first National, TV and Tag Team Champions in 1920.

For those of you wondering why Levi did not go on to greater things in 1920 with SPW, the 40 year old Australian was killed in a automobile accident following his third title defence.

The Global industry end of year awards as you might expect given the lack of competition would be a clean sweep for the new power house of American Wrestling.

There will gradually be more to report as the industry matures year on year, and hopefully we see the level of ability improve.

I recognise that belt!

I recognise that belt!

I confess I can't recall which of the mods it came from but I just grabbed the first old fashioned belt that seemed to fit, I don't expect it to come back around given trends to modernize etc as the years go by 😀

However if you view the tick up of retirements each year I'd imagine deaths will naturally creep up soon too. I'm not sure what I'll do when there are too many deaths and hof to list in the same detail as I do now.....so hard to just chose a small extract! To keep it manageable and interesting I may switch to monthly from 1960 through to 1980. A year now takes approx 5 hours to SIM through...in the mid 70s
