We are very pleased to bring to you the son of the late, great Mitsu Arakawa. We bring to you Michael Arakawa. Long time fans from the MidWest will definitely remember Mitsu Arakawa as one of the top villians in the area for many years. He was a staple in places like the AWA and WWA. Mitsu also wrestled for the WWWF as well as doing international tours. Starting out in the mid 50s and going until the mid 70s he was active in the era where anyone billed as being Japanese was the bad guy. We'll talk to his son and learn more about Mitsu Arakawa's career as well as learn about what it was like being the child of a wrestler from that era. Make sure you join us for what should be a very interesting conversation.

Professional Wrestling's Territory System In 1948, after decades of competing with each other, an agreement was made to bring all the territories into one national alliance, forming the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). This also brought forth the first recognized "World Heavyweight Championship," where Lou Thez became it's first champion. Despite the agreements that Lou would be champion, many promoters wanted to keep their main stars looking strong. They often employed shoot matches (non-fixed matches) for the top talent to beat Lou in championship matches. The matches were able to succeed due to two main factors: the rise of television in the United States, and the implementation of The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. Signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower, the Highway act created 41,000 miles of new highway in the United States over a 10 year period  Traveling to live shows became more feasible for the public due to the new highway system. This coincided with the boom of the wrestling territories allowing more eyes on the matches.  Also, the rise of television networks caused a need for more content, and wrestling was cheap programming for them to buy.  During this time the idea of gimmick wrestlers also became more and more popular. Instead of just being strong men who competed for titles, you would see characters who were defined by one major aspect. These could include heels (bad guys) who took on the evil foreigner gimmick, such as the Iron Shiek. However, the most popular character of the early days of the territories was George Wagner, more commonly known by his stage name, Gorgeous George. George was not a physically imposing man at five foot nine. He would come out in an effeminate outfit, mock the crowds, and most importantly followed his motto, "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat!" George's natural charisma and natural ability to draw massive "heel heat" (audience hatred of the character) made him the ideal villain for the growing television audiences. Eventually the NWA would begin to show cracks as many of the promotions viewed the entity as a corrupt tyrant holding back innovations in the business. Due to this growing disdain, promotions would leave the NWA. The biggest impact would be from the American Wrestling Association (AWA) and the New York based Capitol Wrestling Corporation (later renamed the World Wide Wrestling Federation ) agreement to leave NWA at the same time. The WWWF's exit would be a huge blow to the NWA as the New York promotion not only held one of the biggest venues, Madison Square Garden, but also one of the highest population densities in the nation. This caused NWA's loss of a huge market. The WWWF also had Bruno Sammartino, often regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Bruno's popularity would be the beginning of the WWWF becoming the biggest promotion of all time and evolving into the company we know today as the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).  

A childhood dream is realized as Professor Adam goes through the history of the WWE. From humble beginnings and multiple McMahons, the WWE grew to a multi-billion dollar empire. The brightest moments were matched by some very dark times. The WWE is celebrating it's 40th Wrestlemania this year. A Steriods trial, tons of scandals, and the Monday Night Wars couldn't kill the company. With the acquisition of the WWE by Endeavor, the story continues with a new author.

Bob Smith has done just about everything a non-athlete could do in pro wrestling - he worked for Pro Wrestling Illustrated, appeared on wrestling TV shows, and even tried his hand a play-by-play. However, this particular podcast will forever hold a huge place in Smith's heart - because this special show is a tribute to one of the first wrestlers he ever saw in his youth. The guest: Paige Von Hess Sutherland, who is the daughter of the legendary 1970s and '80s German ring villain Kurt Von Hess. It's a long interview, but as it progresses listeners will hear memories of not only a truly memorable heel, but also stories about Andre The Giant, Stu Hart, Hans Schmidt, Johnny Powers, Afa & Skia, then versus now, and much, much more. This is a podcast with a lot of heart - and it's now available wherever you get your podcasts as well as YouTube.Support the showContact us at outdatedwrestling@gmail.com!
