Top AEW star Swerve Strickland recently spoke with Women’s Wrestling Talk about various topics, including which wrestling stories he would like to see adapted for the big screen.
Strickland said, “I would like to see more of the first black wrestling world champions and stories like that. I would like to see more stories of just truly the struggles of those things too. Bring back more stories in the mainstream and the big screen of seeing, like, the territory eras and things like that. We see little pieces of it and glimpses and it’s talked about, like in The Iron Claw and things like that, mentioning the territories, but I still don’t think we’ve educated the people on, like, what that truly was. So I think I would like to see more, like, tapping into that a little bit more, just for the mainstream.”
