The IWA attempted to create a national brand based more on television exposure than on working the towns, a concept more like the pro wrestling of today than of 1975. It didn't help that many of their workers were blackballed from mainstream territories. Bill Watts wrote in his autobiography that Wilson was run off from Georgia over his drug problems, which were preventing him from becoming a bigger star. He had already begun his campaign of exposing the business by the time he worked here.

As for the match being the first mixed match on national TV? This was probably the first wrestling program seen in more than just a local market or through regional syndication dating back to the 1950s. There were quite a handful of national wrestling programs then, both on network television and through syndication. Might take some digging to get an exact answer to your question, but more than likely yes.

Because it fell on the wrong side of wrestling history when it came time for the WWE and for wrestling websites to repackage and sell you that history, the IWA hasn't really gotten its due. Eddie Einhorn, part-owner of the Chicago White Sox, came up with the idea of a national wrestling promotion nearly a decade before Vince McMahon did. These shows definitely utilized much higher production values than what wrestling normally used at the time, once again many years before McMahon.

To continue, the one in white had blond hair. When she and her partner won, he carried her around the ring on one of his shoulders. I can't remember his name but he took on Baron Von Raschke in an european type match in Monroe, LA. Would love to find that one.

First, let me say that I think that Kay Casey is fine as all get out. I know these clips are from the 70's/60's but just love the villian in her. I only know of one other clip she is in on this site and I had to look for it since I saw it on a TV program years ago and taped it. Also, Sheila Reeves only comes up with this clip. Does anyone know of any others that she is in? Secondly, there was a Mid South Mixed Tag match where one girl wore white and the other work black and was skinny.

Wow, no one told me Meathead from All in the Family was a professional referee.

The winner in this match was Sheila Reeves, Jim Wilson is the Big Chicken.
