Description
Mayhem on the Mat in Memphis
For most of the 20th Century, professional wrestling was the most popular sport in the City of Memphis. It not only had great entertainment value, but also reflected the city's culture of cruelty, kindness, and violence. The vibrant professional wrestling culture that developed in Memphis, with its emphasis on elaborate promotions, strong characters, and wild performances, transformed the sport and made the Bluff City one of the most significant wrestling centers in the United States. Join author G. Wayne Dowdy as he chronicles Sputnik Monroe's successful battle against segregation, the Jerry Lawler/ Andy Kaufman feud, and introduces wrestling legends like Jackie Fargo, Tojo Yamamoto, Bill Dundee, Handsome Jimmy Valiant, Kamala the Ugandan Giant, and Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson.
