All American Florida Wrestling was an American regional promotion that existed from approximately the early 1960's to the 1978. Owned by wrestler Dick the Devastator, AAFW was a successful promotion that, during the Regional Era, was the main source of wrestling for fans in Florida and the South East as a whole. The promotion folded in the mid-1980's, when they were unable to compete with the Supreme Wrestling Federation, who had signed AAFW's stars to exclusive contracts and proceeded to run shows with these wrestlers in AAFW's own backyard. AAFW officially folded in November 1978.
