Heavyweight Wrestling

Television series

Heavyweight Wrestling from Washington[1] is the first weekly televised wrestling program that was produced by the regional professional wrestling promotion Capitol Wrestling Corporation, a member of the National Wrestling Alliance, which was the predecessor of WWE. The show was hosted by Bill Malone (1956), Morris Siegel (1956–1959) and Ray Morgan (1959–1971) and was taped at the Capital Arena in Washington, D.C.[2]

The show debuted on January 5, 1956, and aired until September 1971 when Vincent J. McMahon moved the television tapings to eastern Pennsylvania and replaced Heavyweight Wrestling with All-Star Wrestling. Morgan stayed with All Star Wrestling until he was replaced by McMahon's son Vincent K. McMahon.
