History of Wrestling in Georgia: Professional wrestling gained popularity in Georgia, especially after Paul Jones established the ABC booking office in Atlanta in 1944. The advent of television in the 1950s further accelerated the sport's growth, with national stars headlining events alongside Southern legends. Notable Wrestlers and Events: Prominent wrestlers in Georgia during the 1960s included Gorgeous George, Dick the Bruiser, and Eddie Graham, among others. Weekly live events at the Atlanta City Auditorium became an institution, often resulting in sellouts, and major cards were held at the new Atlanta Omni arena.
Television and Syndication: Live Atlanta wrestling, hosted by Ed Cael, was a ratings hit and syndicated to other markets in Georgia. Promoter Fred Ward produced his own TV program for Columbus and South Georgia, further enhancing the sport's reach.
Tag Team Wrestling and Popularity: Tag team wrestling was incredibly popular, with notable teams like Grizzly Smith and Luke Brown. The Omni became a significant venue, with a Saturday evening block on WTCG (later WTBS) broadcasting to cable systems nationwide.
Key Figures and Promotions: Wrestlers such as Bill Eadie, Nick Bockwinkel, and the Road Warriors made significant impacts. Promoters like George Scott played crucial roles in developing characters and storylines, ensuring the sport's continuous appeal in Georgia
