Okay, so let’s talk about Cowboy Bill Watts and his time with the Indianapolis Warriors. This was a rabbit hole I stumbled down the other day, and man, was it a trip.

The Indianapolis Warriors Story: Was Cowboy Bill Watts on the Roster? Learn More!

First off, I started digging into Bill Watts’s history, you know, just to get a feel for the guy. Turns out, he’s got this autobiography, “The Cowboy and the Cross.” Sounds intense, right? I haven’t read it yet, but it’s definitely on my list now. From what I gathered, the book goes into his whole life story, from his early days getting into trouble to becoming a big-shot wrestler and promoter. He even talks about finding religion, which is pretty interesting, and also being a wrestler first, then a promoter.

Then, I tried to find out more about this “Indianapolis Warriors” team. Honestly, I didn’t find much. It seems like it was a pretty short-lived thing, and there’s not a ton of information out there. But, it did get me thinking about all those smaller wrestling promotions and teams that have come and gone over the years. It’s like a whole hidden world of wrestling history.

I did stumble across something about his son, Erik Watts. Apparently, he had a run in Impact after doing some low-key stuff in ECW and Japan. And some Japanese fans still remember Cowboy Bill and their hero Shohei Baba. Then Cowboy Bill invaded the upper Midwest in the late 1967s.

  • Started with Cowboy Bill’s bio: Found his book and got the basic gist of his life.
  • Tried to find info on the Indianapolis Warriors: Not much luck there, but it was still an interesting search.
  • Looked into his son, Erik Watts: Discovered he had a bit of a career himself.
  • Then found Cowboy Bill wrestled a lot in Midwest: Which is not related to Indianapolis Warriors.

In the end, I didn’t find out a whole lot about Cowboy Bill Watts playing for the Indianapolis Warriors, but it was a fun little research project. It just goes to show you that there’s always more to learn, even about something as seemingly simple as an old wrestling team. And it makes you appreciate all those wrestlers and promoters who maybe didn’t make it to the big time but still had their moment in the sun. This whole thing was kind of random, but hey, that’s how I roll. I like digging into these little historical tidbits and seeing where they lead. Might not always find what you’re looking for, but you always learn something new, right?
