Mississippi Valley Wrestling

Mississippi Valley Wrestling was the creation of Arnold Adams Sr. He gained notoriety in the old Continental Wrestling Association, especially in the Florida panhandle and Mobile, AL areas. On March 9, 1978, Adams booked his first MVW card in Tupelo, MS. The MVW became part of the National Wrestling Alliance in August 1981. It and the Mid-South Wrestling Association were the last two regions left in the NWA. In November 1985, Adams joined together with Don Owen, Terry Taylor and Rick Martel to create the Global Wrestling Federation. Adams got into a dispute over ownership with Owen in June 1989 and broke away. Independent once again, Adams was one of the primary promoters and bookers that began the Alliance.
