If so, big RIP. Memphis was one of my favorite territories and I've been reading the book about Teeny once again.

R.I.P. Jerry Jarrett
Without him we wouldn't had Memphis Wrestling or TNA

Between Jerry and Don West it has been a rough few months for the foundation of TNA/Impact.

This one (Jerry Jarrett) really hits...
I'm probably one of the five biggest Memphis wrestling fans in the world, went weekly to the Louisville Gardens, spent countless hours watching and reading about it.
One of the biggest honors I've ever heard was Jerry Jarrett telling me if he still had a wrestling show, he'd put my art on this show because he loves all of the Cornette art. The biggest compliment ever.
Huge loss for wrestling. Maybe one of the five most influential men in wrestling history

I feel like his contributions go perhaps a little under appreciated, but it cannot be overstated how influential Jerry Jarrett was on the world of pro wrestling. So many of the things we take for granted as part of pro wrestling as far as television production began with him. |
