Nearly forty years after Wrestling at the Chase left the airwaves, a St. Louis wrestling institution's lineage is returning to the same channel.
World League Wrestling, the Harley Race-founded promotion based in Troy, Missouri, has announced a weekly broadcast arrangement with KPLR-TV—the station deeply associated with the territory's signature television era.
Why the channel matters
For Midwest fans, the station is not merely another distribution outlet. It carries history. That makes the move bigger than a schedule update: it reconnects a modern independent promotion with the broadcast architecture that helped make St. Louis one of professional wrestling's defining cities.
What comes next
Mat Report Midwest will track the schedule, distribution footprint, and how the program positions WLW within today's regional scene.
