Albany Avenue in Tampa, Florida emerged as a central hub for Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF), an influential wrestling promotion that thrived from the 1960s through the 1980s. The venue became synonymous with CWF, serving as the backdrop for numerous memorable matches and events that helped shape the careers of many wrestling legends.
Many iconic wrestlers graced the ring of the Tampa Sportatorium.
