Tri-State Wrestling (McGuirk) (1982)

The promotion seems to have been renamed to Midwest Championship Wrestling (or Midwest Championship Sports) around this time. It is believed that Leroy sold the territory to his daughter Michelle (aka Mike). The titles, which had previously been referred to as “Tri-State” titles in newspaper ads, are now referred to as “Midwest” titles. In addition, beginning with the 12/25 ad in Tulsa the television program is referred to as “Midwest Championship Sports” instead of “Championship Wrestling”.
