Old-school wrestling fans and those interested in the genre’s history will want to mark their calendars and set their DVRs for August 8, as PBS is set to premier an exciting new wrestling documentary.
Mid-Atlantic Gateway, a website dedicated to the history of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, shared the news on social media:
Completed in 1952, Dorton Arena was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2002. Located at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds, Dorton Arena has hosted numerous concerts and events and is notably famous as the home of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance. It’s where Rowdy Roddy Piper defeated “Nature Boy” Ric Flair to win the NWA United States Championship in 1981.
When Giants Walked Here features commentary from familiar faces like wrestler George South and announcer David Crockett, mainstays of Jim Crockett Promotions. It’s currently unclear if the documentary will air outside PBS North Carolina. In the past, other PBS channels have uploaded their films to YouTube, with St. Louis’ Head over Heels: Remembering Wrestling at the Chase being the most notable.
