July 26, 20178 yr comment_5808638 You probably mentioned it during part 1 and I forgot the answer. But which title was more esteemed, the Southern or Florida titles? Great show by the way.

July 26, 20178 yr comment_5808677 Man, I absolutely love this series with Barry. If you're not a part of his fantastic Facebook group for Florida wrestling, do yourself a favor and get on it. Recently they started a YouTube channel with the best CWF footage to ever hit the net. Some of the stuff these guys talk about is even on there.
