All Purpose Shoot Preview and Review thread

This is my least favorite of all the Back To The Territories
Lance Storm want even there, I woulda much preferred someone who could speak from personal experience, like maybe one of the Hart brothers
It was also just boring, paid my twenty bucks and didn't even bother finishing it

Kevin Sullivan and Jim Cornette take us back to the Florida wrestling glory days as they cover Eddie Graham's scope and legacy, how Graham worked politics in Florida's media and wrestling nationwide, tall tales of Graham's family history, Dusty Rhodes' connection to Jackie Gleason, the lengths that were gone to in order to protect kayfabe, controversies over the NWA World title booking, racist and Satanic angles, riots, why Graham committed suicide and much more!!
 
This was prolly the best BTTT release so far
Sullivan has some good stories
I'd rank em

1. Florida
2. Mid Atlantic
3. Mid South because Duggan was a terrible guest
4. Canada
