The Grapevine, CWF's official wrestling program Here you will find a treasure chest of wrestling history in the form of Championship Wrestling From Florida arena programs between the years 1979 and 1984. From the ordinary to the unusual...these were the original print programs and matches that shaped wrestling's future. Hulk Hogan, Nick Bockwinkle, and Bob Backlund on NWA cards? It happened.
To navigate the programs, look below for the year you wish to browse. The links below each year are arranged in weekly date order.
At this time, due to space limitations, I may be limited to showing only the front and back covers of these programs. Hopefully this will change if this site ever moves to a paid (not free) server. It all depends on the demand, I guess. Please Note: Some of the files on this page require the FREE Acrobat Reader from Adobe. If you don't have it, get it by clicking on the logo immediately below. This will re-direct you to the Adobe website, so it is recommended that you right-click on the logo and choose "Open Link in New Window" so you don't lose your place here. Some of these files are on the large side (800k+) and may take time to load on slower connections. 
Obligatory Disclaimer: For many years in Florida, "The Grapevine" was a weekly publication published by Grapevine Publications, Old Town, Florida. Editor and Publisher, Jerry Prater. Issues of the program shown on these pages are made available for historical purposes.
