   Georgia Rasslin' #57: Georgia History 1957 - 1958 (Thesz/Carpentier NWA World Title Controversy)

   This week, it's more of the Georgia Wrestling History Project. Guest Rick Fields joins Ray Russell to pick up where they left off, discussing more of the late 1950s with the return of Ray Gunkel, the arrival of Dickie Gunkel, Don McIntyre continues to ride high, Fred Blassie, plus a pair of new evil foreign menace teams in the Von Brauners & Volkoffs, & so much more! Plus, we'll spend the first half of the program discussing the controversial NWA World Title Match between Lou Thesz vs. Edouard Capentier, and how it led to two men claiming the World Championship at the same time, the many regional promotions creating their own "World Champions", and the fallout it caused between the NWA and many of the territories of the time.
