Tony Schiavone On The Significance Of The US Title For Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling

Yesterday at 11:17 PM

During a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone discussed the significance of the United States Title for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On the first person he thinks of when seeing the United States Title: "I think of Black Jack Mulligan. And that's just because of my fandom. And then of course, [Lex] Luger was the US champion. Barry Windham, Ric Flair, Wahoo McDaniel, Greg Valentine, I mean, just blah, blah, blah, on and on and on of US Champions."

On why the US Title is a big deal to him: "Here's why the US title means so much more to me as a fan in that — of course, back in the territory days, all right. For instance, Harley Race is the world champion, but he doesn't defend the world championship in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling all the time. So in effect, the US Title was the biggest title in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling at that time. So it was more prestigious in the territories than it was here in WCW, where it was underneath the world champion that you saw all the time."
