Here is a Big Waylon Smile for you! Picture taken this morning.




56 years ago today this Headlined marked the moment Ron Wright's life and career changed forever



Historic Head Line November 30, 1961 -- Whitey Caldwell had been making headlines for a few years by this time but 56 years ago today his battles with Ron Wright made their first headline. Caldwell would miss a year of wrestling with this shoulder injury and this was always a touchy subject be tween him and Ron. The injury delayed promoter Mickey Baarnes' plan as pushing Whitey as The Top Star. Caldwell had just been named the First TV Champion of this area by winning the Most Popular Wrestler in a write in vote by the fans. 

The match changed Ron's life and career.  Wright was a preliminary wrestler and/or ref until this point. He was sky rocketed to the spotlight. The legend of Ron Wright the meanest man in wrestling started with this match.

How did this match come about? What was the aftermath? How often did they Ron and Whitey face each other? Find out all this and much more in my book "Don't Miss This!!! The History of pro Wrestling in Kingsport, TN 1960-69" on sale now as part of the Christmas Sale right hand side of the page. Buy the book and get The Legends of Kingsport DVD Free!!!

The Annual Christmas Sale is Back!!! Now till December 9th

I had hoped to have the sale up last week but I had to finish up some work on the DVDs. I have spent a year working on some of these sets. I'm so happy they are finished. I started trading tapes in the 1980s. Some of this stuff I have had on tapes for years. I have been able to fill in some gaps with help from others the last year or so.

The sale is ongoing now till Midnight on Saturday December, 9th to make sure You will get them in time for Christmas. Some of these DVD items will only be available during this sale due to the time it will take to fill. I have already started making sets so I can get them out in a hurry.

This has been my busiest year in a long while. I have worked on these sets in what little spare tie I have had. I want to keep the rich history of Southern Pro Wrestling alive. I will also be updating some Continental Sets in the next week or so as I have been able to add to them as well. Below are my big deals of the year.

The quality is not as good (some bad) as my Continental Collections but its the only collection like this. It took help from a friend in Alabama to make this the best and fullest collection possible.  This is a must for any fan that grew up on Alabama Wrestling.
