The actual Outlaw Mudshow era. The name refers to Feds who operated out of the territory system and were accused of stealing from whomever owned that particular territory. Lots if names lost to time though onenamedoes ring out - WWWF as it was the biggest outlaw mudshow in America given it existed outside the territory union and had a stranglehold over the north east. It's why the NWA and territories hated them.

So yes technically WWWF was the biggest Indy promotion in America at war with the AWA and territories but that's doing severe dumbing down of the situation.

You've got to remember before Vince Jr. took over that WWF was just a lil indie! In the 1950s, they barely ever sold more than 30,000 tickets to shows at MSG or Shea Stadium. When you're the third generation of a family to book wrestling monopolistically in the largest media market in the country, you'll always have a little bit of nostalgia for those early salad days.

I assume this is kind of like how the industry keeps redefining what "craft beer" is so that the answer is eternally "as much as Sam Adams makes and less", the definition of an indie promotion is "one that Vince McMahon doesn't own".

This isn't terribly accurate re: what became the WWF. Outlaw mudshows were specifically people running shows in someone else's territory, like when Lanny Poffo started running IWC shows in Memphis and other towns "controlled" by NWA affiliates.

The McMahon family 'ran' New York City wrestling before there was an NWA. They were early members of the NWA and broke off in the 1960s because they thought having their own champion outside of the NWA cartel (Buddy Rogers, then Bruno) would do better business in their market than Lou Thesz would.

Doing so also allowed the NWA to avoid further antitrust/monopoly investigations that were happening in the 1950s, because the NWA could point to how Vince McMahon Sr. and Verne Gagne were successfully running their own 'independent' promotions without being part of the NWA. Which was technically true, except they both continued to attend (or send representatives) to the NWA meetings, held positions on the NWA board, and shared talent/respected each other's territorial boundaries.

It wasn't until the 1980s that Vince Jr. started stomping all over the territorial boundaries and talent sharing in a serious way. Arguably Vince Jr. turned the WWF into an outlaw mudshow indie.
