Description

Like so much of the sweet corn and wheat that lines the green belt between St. Louis and her sister city, Kansas City has been a sweet spot for professional wrestling. A litany of formidable talent flourished in that area, making Heart of America Sports Attractions, later known as Central States Wrestling, a territory worth exploring. It was one of the original territories of the National Wrestling Alliance, with two of the NWA’s six "founding fathers" promoting it. Often referred to simply as "Kansas City," the territory thrived until 1989 when it met its unfortunate demise.
