History
For much of the post World War II period, VDB was the dominant professional wrestling promotion in Germany until overtaken by the Austria-based Catch Wrestling Association circa the late 1970s. By this point, its dominant star was Axel Dieter. VdB's calendar revolved chiefly around multi-night summer tournaments in cities in West Germany and Austria such as Graz, Hamburg and Vienna which were later taken over by the CWA and its successor the EWP.
