Championship Wrestling from Florida was the corporate and brand name of the Tampa, Florida wrestling office It remained in existance from 1949 until 1987, when it closed down. It is also referred to as Florida Championship Wrestling as When Mike Graham tried a return to promoting, the rights to the original name had been acquired by an outside party, forcing him to use the alternative name. History It was 1949 in Florida, while The Florida Hurricane was causing 52 million dollars in damage, Harry Truman was beginning his second term as us president, cable television was born in the mountains of Pennsylvania and “Cowboy" Clarence P. Luttrall was opening the Tampa florida wrestling office and joined the NWA. a former journeyman heel wrestler who once took a severe beating in a widely publicized boxing match, with a forty-something Jack Dempsey. Because of health reasons with Cowboy , Eddie Graham bought into the promotion in 1961 and took over completely in 1971. The office was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance during the entire CWF era, Eddie Graham serving two terms as NWA president, and loosely aligned before that, with other 'world' champions. CWF became a staple in many Southern households in the 1970s and 1980s, with Dusty Rhodes arguably its most noted headliner, his babyface turn beginning in 1973 against former partner Pak Song. The promotion competed against other syndicated shows on Saturday night like The Lawrence Welk Show and Solid Gold for years. Notable stars/alumni The promotion thrived with stars such as NWA champions Lou Thesz and Gene Kiniski, as well as Don Curtis, Sam Steamboat, the Great Malenko , Johnny Valentine,  Hiro Matsuda, Bob Orton Sr. and later Bob Orton Jr., Joe Scarpa  Chief Jay Strongbow), Wahoo McDaniel, Terry and Dory Funk Jr. , Jack and Jerry Brisco, Buddy Colt, Dusty Rhodes, Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda, Mike Graham , and Kevin Sullivan – whose cult-like Army of Darkness got tremendous heat from the fans – and, in the words of the promotion's legendary commentator, Gordon Solie, 'a host of others'. Solie's deadpan interviewing style often complemented the outlandish behavior and actions of Sullivan and his minions, bringing a legitimacy to the on-air segments no matter what depths Sullivan would descend to. Dusty Rhodes stands out among the noted performers because of the number of rivalries he had on air through most of CWF's broadcasting history. Well known heels, newcomers and babyfaces who turned heel during their tenure with CWF often sought out Rhodes to make their names in the territory. His rivals over the years included Superstar Billy Graham, Ray Stevens, Ernie Ladd, Ivan Koloff, Ox Baker, Ron Bass, Kamala, Abdullah the Butcher, Ric Flair, his old Texas Outlaws partner Dick Murdoch and of course, Kevin Sullivan. #TalesFromTheTerritories
