A really good thing about the Territory Era was that, with a dozen plus companies drawing thousands and thousands every week, hardly anybody went underutilized for long because another promoter would grab them up and use them better. But a really bad thing about it was that they had so many spots for so few trained wrestlers that anybody that was half over had a decent chance of still being prominently featured at an advanced age.
