Those of you interested in the history of professional wrestling:
I cannot recommend this book enough! I mean this one is just a great read on the year 1977 for the Memphis promotion. It discusses the war between Jerry Jarrett and Nick Gulas over Memphis. Jerry was lead to believe he had purchased 50 percent of the company and therefore could run things his way. Well Nick let him know that he in fact had purchased the right to buy part of the company and not the Memphis end of the company. Jerry found out one day when Nick wanted Jerry to book his son George on the Memphis end of the territory. heh. George was perhaps one of the worst if not the worst wrestler to ever lace a pair of boots. Jerry refused to book George as he knew it would kill business quickly just as it had done for Nick and the Nashville-Chattanooga end. Nick Gulas still operated as if it was 1957 not 1977. No one in their right mind would ever buy George as a top babyface. He was no match for Memphis heels like Jerry Lawler, Mongolian Stomper and etc. For several weeks Jerry and Nick both ran cards in Memphis after their split. Jerry unfortunately was relegated to using the much older Cook Convention Center. Nick had had an exclusivity clause with the Mid South Coliseum at the time. Jerry and his stars found a home on WMC TV-5 very quickly. Nick had none as WHBQ quickly canceled the wrestling show when Jerry and Nick split. The book provides you with a great look at the many stars and storylines throughout 1977. Many of the old programs and newspaper clippings have been reproduced for the book too. well worth your money!! |

Let it be known that I will tolerate and celebrate the appearance of NXT/WWE divas and all other female wrestlers gracing these very pages of the arena. Failure to follow through in this task and you will see your cock severed from your damn body

I enjoyed the highlights of the tag team turmoil match from this week's Smackdown. Daniel Bryan reminded me of the resilience and submission expertise of Chris Benoit.

Just because someone is a good singles wrestlers doesn't mean they cant contribute to tag team wrestling. For example, CHW wrestlers Innovator and Devastator are both tag team wrestling champions, but Inno is also a singles legend and former world champ. I think Bryan can be like WWE's Innovator. Who would you pick to be Bryan's Devastator?!!! |
