46 years… a lot has changed over the decades. In 1967, gas was 25 cents a gallon, bread 50 cents a loaf, minimum wage was a $1.65, and you could buy a house for $50,000.
In was during this time of a more simple life the seeds were planted for the beginning of the East Coast Wrestling Association. What started perhaps as a company for fun or entertaining family and friends has turned into one of the most highly respected, most recognizable professional wrestling companies in the world of independent wrestling. It’s spawned the amazing Super 8 Tournament that has drawn in thousands of fans and let some of today’s stars get their first big break. The tournament even was the basis for the beginnings of the Ring of Honor company! Not to be forgotten it has furthered the careers of a vast amount of today’s WWE and TNA stars.
