In Justin's first contribution, he discusses the history of the Gulf Coast Heavyweight Title. This particular geographic territory was an in-ring home to Les Thatcher in 1966-1967, and Les was an on-air commentator in the area in 1980-1981. Les also produced and hosted a taped show that aired in the area in 1978 called "Southeastern Showcase."
