Death of The Territories is decent but loses its way a bit towards the end.

Best book about that era is probably Pain and Passion by Heath McCoy covering the Stampede territory. I also like the later parts of Brisco by Jack Brisco, which is great on the experience of being a touring NWA champion, while Drawing Heat by Jim Freedman is good on the outlaw scene in that era,.

(Semi-regular reminder I've got more than 150 reviews at http://www.prowrestlingbooks.com/reviews-z/).

Cheers! 

Any good books covering the territories in 70/80s  prior to WWF and WCW domination?

If you have photos from shows feel free to add them to the Facebook group with a note from which show they are from

so about 120-150 companies? Wow!

Compare that to when FWA was around

What happened to Hade Vansen after that vignette on Smackdown? Any ideas why it/he went no further?

Is that Hade Vansen vs Zebra Kid the one where Hade Vansen was in the crowd ("he bought a ticket, JR!") and was in full gear, wrist tape and all?

More clenched fists for @scratchdj:
