Wrestling is a fundamental combat sport.  A good base for MMA.
I used to watch Georgia Championship Wrestling back in the day.  I loved Andre the Giant .
He was a staple of professional wrestling.  The Georgia Championship Wrestling began in 1971.
Yes, they used to wrestle at the Atlanta Civic Auditorium, which is now part of georgia State University.  I miss gordon Soley.
George State has a rich history.  It was founded in 1913.
The university is in downtown Atlanta,  the capital city of Georgia.  Georgia Tech is across town.  Between the two, Atllanta has a lot of college students!
By 1901 Georgia Tech offered degrees in Electrical, Civil, Textile, and Civil Engineering as well!
It is a great college.  The Varsity restaurant is near the campus, comedian Flip Wilson used to be a carhop at that hot dog restaurant.
Flip Wilson had a show actually now that you mention him.  It was an hour-long variety show aired in 1970 - 74'.
