The Amarillo Territory

I've been studying the Amarillo Territory recently and wanted to share my findings from the 1940s. It was called M&M Promotions and it was ran by a wrestler named Dory Detton from 1940-1955. Some of the stars of the territory were Dean Detton, who was Dory's brother, Jack Carter, Tarzan Lopez, & Guss Edd. The cities Detton ran were Amarillo TX, Abilene TX, Lubbock TX, Vernon TX, & Clovis NM. I have also posted results below:
