Capitol Wrestling Corporation

[tystates]

Been doing some research for a possible game fed. Capitol Wrestling Corporation was the name before it became the World Wide Wrestling Federation. I've been seeing who all was there that is in the game. Here's a pretty nice starting roster.

There are others you could add. I took a few out that were only there for a match or two or only there defending the world title like Lou Thesz and Dick Hutton. Those two, Sputnik Monroe, Pepper Gomez, and even Rikidozan had a match in Capitol.

My cutoff was Jan. 1963 when the name change was made.

Looks like a fun group of wrestlers. Back then everyone did some tag matches too. You can make a lot of teams that did pair up in real life.

Main titles were the United States singles and tag team championships. Of course it was the northeast territory Connecticut, New York, PA, Maryland, NJ, Delaware, Virginia, D.C.

Really cool roster. I might have to run some shows and see how it goes. Great job!

Capitol Wrestling Corporation became Titan Sports and then World Wrestling Entertainment under Vinnie. The Worldwide Wrestling Federation was the name under which Capitol did business after leaving the NWA. Like title tournaments supposedly held in Rio, it was all for show and to promote a certain image among the public.
