Please Support Our "Mid-Atlantic Memories" Documentary!
"We need your help, and we need to get you involved." Those words, spoken by the legendary "Voice of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling" Bob Caudle, are sincere.
"Mid-Atlantic Memories" is a ground-breaking movie project looking at wrestling in the Carolinas during the '60s, '70s and '80s. Wrestling the way it used to be, as told by the promoters, the wrestlers and the fans -- the folks that lived it, and the folks that LOVED IT!
Please take a moment to watch the videos on this page from Bob Caudle and Jim Cornette, as both explain the concept. Also, please take a moment and click here to read Mike Mooneyham's recent column about the project and the film's narrator, Hall-of-Fame announcer Jim Ross.
Producer John Andosca's feature-length documentary is a monumental project, and we need your financial support. Money that will help insure that we're able to include everyone -- promoter, wrestler and fan -- that would like to participate and share their "Mid-Atlantic Memories."
To date, we've filmed interviews with dozens of fans and almost four dozen folks that were intimately involved in wrestling in the Carolinas in the last half-century. We have footage "in the can" from Bob Caudle, Les Thatcher, Kendall and Barry Windham, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, Jim Cornette, Dennis Condrey, Bobby Eaton, Angelo Mosca, Rich Landrum, James J. Dillon, Johnny Powers, Lars Anderson, Tiger Conway Jr., Baron Von Raschke, Ken Patera, Tony Atlas, Danny Miller, The Assassin (Joe Hamilton,) Mr. Wrestling II (John Walker,) Magnum T.A., Tommy Angel, David Isley, Brad Anderson, Bill and Randy Mulkey, Elliott Murnick, Ole Anderson, Paul Jones, Mike Somaini and Jerry Brisco.
Remaining are countless others we hope to sit down with and record their "Mid-Atlantic Memories" -- folks like Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, Blackjack Mulligan, Tully Blanchard, Greg Valentine, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, Thunderbolt Patterson, Jimmy Snuka, Iron Sheik, Jimmy Valiant, Big Mama and the Crockett family. And there are so many more!
We're hopeful that we can get former world champions Harley Race, Ron Garvin, Tommy Rich, Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk to share their memories about their time spent in the Carolinas, as well.
As important as the former wrestlers are to this project, equally as important are the fans. We're seeking out many more fans that have memories they'd like to share on camera for possible inclusion in the final film project.
This project has been more than a year in the making. The final, finished product will be revealed at the world premiere at this summer's fanfest weekend in Charlotte. Most importantly, we want to do this right, and with no limitations! We want, as Bob Caudle says in the accompanying video, for this to be a "near accurate and incredible collection of stories about pro wrestling's greatest territory!" And we can assure you it will be nothing less. As we say down south, it will be done right!
We've spent countless hours on the road, going far and wide, travelling to the homes of a lot of these folks. And we have more to go! It will take a large amount of money to fund a project of this magnitude. We have chosen to bypass the increasingly popular "Kickstarter" method of raising funds, simply to eliminate the middleman. We want to insure you that every dollar you contribute goes directly to the project, not siphoned off for processing fees, etc. That's why we've chosen this method for our fundraising campaign.
Please take a look at the different levels of participation below, and all of the "perks" that are being offered with each contribution. Please consider supporting this effort financially.
Thanks very much, in advance, for your support and helping us make this happen!
