Greensboro Coliseum History
Chapter Four: 1974
#PWHS #Article #Greensboro #Coliseum #History #GHC
To Mid-Atlantic fans, the announcing of a card to be held in Greensboro at the Coliseum meant Jim Crockett Promotions was putting together an event that would have been PPV material in the days we now live in. This was not your “usual” great card, but a super card. Fans were guaranteed a night of explosive excellence, and JCP was guaranteed a large crowd and sometimes a sellout of 15,000 fans. Sit back and relive a piece of chronological wrestling pie at its best on Greensboro’s fifteen great cards!
