But that’s exactly what Greg Price is attempting to do with a wrestling documentary that is expected to be released next summer.

Price, along with videographer John Andosca, is producing “Mid-Atlantic Memories,” a feature-length documentary that aims to capture the sights, sounds and feel of one of wrestling’s most revered territories and eras.

“I’m completely stoked about the opportunity we have to put something together that will conjure up everybody’s positive memories of when they grew up watching wrestling,” says Price, the brainchild behind the annual Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest.

“I think there’s a tremendous audience out there for not only the product, but for the wrestling itself ... the wrestling from your childhood.”

Thousands of fans, from all corners of the globe, flock to the summertime gathering to relive some of their most cherished moments when they faithfully followed Mid-Atlantic wrestling.
