Notes:
Detroit Big Time Wrestling, a staple in the Detroit area from the 1960s until the early 1980s, was known for its hard-hitting action and dramatic storytelling. The promotion was a hotspot for talent and was instrumental in launching or redefining the careers of many wrestlers who would go on to become legends in the industry. During its peak, Detroit Big Time Wrestling drew large crowds and had a substantial television presence, making it one of the more memorable regional promotions in wrestling history. Its blend of technical wrestling and "hardcore" elements served as a precursor to the more extreme styles that would gain popularity in later years.
