Tampaâs history in pro wrestling played vital role in developing superstars â past and present
By Diedra Rodriguez
From 2006: Tampa is Wrestletown U.S.A.
The past, present and future of Tampaâs role in wrestling history are tied together. Eddie Graham in the 60s. The Brisco Brothers in the 70s. There was also Macho Man and, of course, Hulkmania.
TAMPA, Fla. - Tampa s wrestling history is like no other, and has more than once been a springboard for developing superstars. Since the 1960s, many household names in the industry have called Tampa Bay their home.
Before Vince MacMahon s World Wrestling Entertainment was formed, the wrestling world looked a lot different. Decades ago, wrestlers competed in different regions of the country, and Tampa was one of those home bases under the name Championship Wrestling in Florida.
