Posted November 19, 20159 yr comment_5710794 The PWHF is moving from New York to Witchita Falls, Texas according to Slam. As a guy who lives in Texas this sounds like a fun roadie when Steve Austin and Sgt. Slaughter go in 2016.

December 7, 20159 yr comment_5713833 It also sounds like the material will be properly cataloged, inventoried, and taken care of at UT-Arlington by trained archivists and librarians. It's important for more Universities (particularly Public Us) to be involved in preserving pro wrestling history so that multiple narratives (rather than just WWE's) are given showcase.
December 7, 20159 yr comment_5713835 Somewhat related: the UT-Arlington library currently has an exhibit of WCCW photos taken during 1982-83 in Fort Worth: https://www.uta.edu/news/releases/2015/08/ringside-wrestling-exhibit.php I haven't been but it looks like for whatever reason UTA has an interest in pro wrestling history.
