Territory Era Wrestling Ticket Stubs: Hidden Gems

Before the National Expansion

Before WWE went national in the mid-1980s, professional wrestling was organized into territories — regional promotions that controlled specific geographic areas under the NWA umbrella. The AWA, Mid-South Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), Georgia Championship Wrestling, and others produced local legends and regional events that have their own devoted collector bases.

Territory era stubs (1950s-1980s) are among the rarest wrestling collectibles because these promotions operated on modest budgets and their fans were less preservation-minded. Any surviving territory era stub has value, with championship event stubs and stubs featuring wrestlers who later became national stars being the most desirable. StubHaul appreciates the historical significance of territory wrestling and pays fair prices for these rare artifacts.
