This site is designed to capture some of the flavor of pro wrestling in the Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland area through pictures and stories. Your contributions and input are welcome!
Here is a gallery of some old Pittsburgh regulars and other greats rejoined at the 2008 Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame induction in Amsterdam, N.Y. Thanks to Shawn Blanchard and Count Grog for these; we'll add more as well. The PWHF induction ceremony is reasonably close to the old Pennsylvania-New York territory and is worth a visit every May.

We extend our sympathies to the family of George A. Dahmer, known to fans as Chief White Owl. He was a fixture in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York for more than 15 years. He died May 23 in Florida, where he had lived for more than two decades. We have a full remembrance on SLAM! Wrestling, and here are some pictures of the Master of the Tomahawk Chop.
