Nick Gulas Photos
Nick Gulas operated what was at once the largest wrestling promotion in the South. Gulas did not have the best reputation within the industry, but there is no denying that he was one of the most successful wrestling promoters during the territorial days. From the 1940′s until the late 1970′s, fans returned week after week to his wrestling cards.
In the early 1950′s, Nick Gulas formed a partnership with veteran wrestler Roy Welch. Roy Welch was a member of the famous Welch wrestling family. Gulas/Welch Enterprises, Inc. was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance, a federation of wrestling promoters that exchanged talent and supported a unified Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.
