this is the vince version of wrestling history. New York, San Antonio, and Minneapolis were the only two real promotions that weren't affiliated with the NWA for a very long time, and the big money for the most part was from the NWA afilliates. There were plenty of massive shows from promoters like Paul Boesch, Roy Shire, Eddie Graham, Jim Barnett, and Sam Muchnick that were done under the NWA banner during the territory years, and then Jim Crockett did Starrcade before Vince did wrestlemania. Not to mention some of the big shows from the UIC pavilion that Verne Gagne did with AWA. Its only really been in the last 20ish years that the wrestling world has been focused on New York

Piper was one of the big guns that Vince went after when breaking away from the territorial system to a National brand

exactly, and Dibiase was also screwed out of the NWA title between 79-83/84ish as Crockett made some power plays to make sure that he kept the belt in his general hands. If it wasn't for a couple of political plays that were out of DiBiase's hands, he would've gone very high in this

not really, there are definitely guys who should've been picked ahead of him. This is just looking through the modern glass, and even then, there is one or two guys on the WWF roster that haven't been picked ahead of him that I would personally pick
