The Docu-Series Will Explore Territory Days Of Wrestling
According to Comicbook.com, ‘Tales of the Territories‘ is produced by the same team who brought us ‘Dark Side of the Ring.’
The official synopsis of the show mentions that it will explore the hay days of the wrestling business, much before it became a national phenomenon.
“The territory days were the time before wrestling expanded nationally, when different areas across the US and Canada, aka ‘Territories,’ were areas dominated by unscrupulous bookers, rabid fans who fervently believed in their favorite characters and fearless wrestlers who blurred the lines between fiction and reality both inside and outside the ring.”
The trailer of the series featured some of the greatest wrestling legends of all time including The Rock, his father Rocky, Hulk Hogan, and Bret Hart among others.
‘Tales of the Territories‘ will premiere on October 4 on Vice TV.
