Professional Reviews
Great Book!!
Mark James, webmaster of www.memphiswrestlinghistory.com, has done it again!! Yes, Volume 2 of his Memphis History books was released today and all I can say is – go to his site and buy one!! His first book was “Cards, Matches, Results and Newspaper Clippings Vol 1: 1970 – 1985”. It was great book with tons of fun stuff, but this one I liked much better. It is “Vol 2: The Programs 1972 – 1976” and it is amazing. The fun thing about it is that these are four years leading up to my first year of being a wrestling fan – August, 1977. So, it was like a big trip down pre-memory lane.
The major PLUS for this Volume is that it not only features the programs for every week of those years, but Mark also interviewed Jerry Jarrett, Jimmy Valiant, Bill Dundee, Jimmy Hart, Lance Russell [forward is by him], Randy Hales, Scott Bowden, Billy Wicks, “Big” Jack Eaton, Tim Dills and Dave Millican to help tell the stories. My favorite stuff was reading all the things that Jerry Jarrett had to say. It was very interesting stuff.
