Does anybody have any title histories for this promotion?
Wrestling title historie doesn't have much on their title history
I know they had a US Title and World title and Eastern Tag Championship.
I can't find much on the history of the US Title
Frank Scarpa held the championship most of the time but I have read some results Bull Curry,Hans Shmidt and Gypsy Joe Dorsetti at one point also holding the US title.
Any help would sure be great

After going through tons of programs from wrestling historian Tom Burke and talking to Tom as he probably one of the most educated in Boston Prowrestling history this is what is what i have come up with

The revived Big Time Wrestling is currently run by Promoter Terry Allen (Whom used to work for Tony Santos and was aprotege of Gypsy Joe Dorsetti/Killer Kowalski and Hans Schmidt) with the permission of Santos Family and the promotion is over seen by Mr. Burke and Mark Estrich.BTW has been very successful shows over the last 2 years throughout Massachusetts. The BTW site will be featuring some fantastic historical information about this promotion very shortly
