I am working on a little project and am looking for title histories for the Macon, Columbus, & Ft. Myers Titles. I saw little bits in wrestling titles hisories and some mentions on wrestling supercards and tournaments. If there is anyone who can help I will be very greatful.

Thank You

You probably have these, but here are some of the stuff I have in addition to Wretling Title Histories:

Columbus Heavyweight Title
Mr. Wrestling II 77/02<

Columbus Tag Team Title
Robert Fuller & Bob Armstrong 77/02<

Columbus Television Title
Mr. Wrestling II 77/04<

Let's hope the great GeorgiaWrestlingHistory.com site will reopen on March 1st as it's scheduled.

I have been able to reconstruct more of the histories for these titles thanks to the News, Notes, and Nostalgia that Rich Tate does. Along with what has been put back up on his website. The new information is in bold.
