Did you know...? While Buddy Rogers was recognized as WWWF World
Champion for the better part of 4 months, he wasn't presented with
the title belt until mere weeks before his title loss to Bruno
Sammartino? The WWWF was operated as a territory in the
northeastern United States. But in the days before a national or
global audience, it was not uncommon to see the heavyweight
champion in Japan, Canada, Florida, Nashville, Indianapolis, or
California. And he would often bring his belt to defend against the
local star. Bruno Sammartino was "defeated" for the heavyweight
crown a few times by the likes of Gorilla Monsoon, Ray Stevens and
Prof. Tanaka. The title was returned on a technicality. WWWF action
aired on HBO as early as 1973. Top names like King Kong Bundy, Curt
Hennig, Jim Duggan, Eddie Gilbert, and Mick Foley all had their
start on TV as enhancement talent during the timeframe of this
book. Many marquee matches at TV tapings never saw the light of day
in the U.S. but some were later televised exclusively in Europe or
Canada. During the expansion of the 1980s, fans of other wrestling
organizations didn't always appreciate the WWF product when it
debuted in their area. Often, even with Hulk Hogan on the card,
hosting events in a new part of the U.S. was not an immediate
success when it came to attendance. And there are countless others
you'll come across in this incredible "History of Professional
Wrestling" series
