Celebrating JCP history/programming. No politics/nonsense. Occasionally exalts Sterling Marlin but its mostly old pro wrestling that helps you feel good again.

A highlight of my wrestling fandom was Ric Flair as the aspiring champion. The chase. He wasn't unbeatable but always gave 110%. It was a big deal here when he won the NWA title but those years chasing it were so much fun... Here in Toronto 1978-1981 many notable bouts vs Steamboat, Backlund, Bravo, Greg Valentine, Hossein the Arab, Tiger Jeet Singh, Snuka, Ray Stevens, Harley Race, and Roddy Piper...🙏 Toronto June 1981.

I cannot think of a more appropriate visual.

In 2000, I interviewed Terry Funk. The audio cassette from that conversation sat in a box for decades.
I've salvaged the audio, and made it available for the first time ever, right here: youtu.be/47fnu48uxS8

"The simple truth was Pep and Saddler hated each other with a passion." It was #OnThisDay, the third chapter in a ring rivalry between all-time greats and a vicious, foul-filled brawl at Yankee Stadium. Check it out: thefightcity.com/sept-8-1950… #Boxing #History #OTD

World champ Muhammad Ali clowns around with star wrestler "Classy" Freddie Blassie, circa 1976. Ali was a big fan of Blassie and other ringmen of the time, and in fact they inspired "The Greatest" to cultivate his own larger-than-life persona. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing

The greatest betrayal of my youth. It still stings.

As much as I love the @WWE and @AEW and all the others out there doing there thing. It can never be this great. We believed this. I had watched Dusty and Ole hate for my entire childhood. And then on the Superstation bang. I wanted Ole dead!! Damn I miss the territories!

There will be plenty of my original photos in the next book! This one features the great father-son duo of Blackjack Mulligan Sr. and Blackjack Jr. Mulligan Sr. debuted here in 1971, but is best remembered for his violent feud with Big John Studd. Jr. was a hit from the moment he ran the ramp and stormed the ring in 1982. It was a great start, and it was obvious that he was going to be a star. Two of the best of the era!

Bristol was always one of Kyle’s favorite tracks. He loved racing under the lights, found so much success there, and the iconic M&M’S car holds some of the best memories of his career and our life together.
Going back without him will be heartbreaking. He should be there. But I’m so grateful to be able to tell you that those iconic M&M’S colors will be coming back to Bristol, one last time, on the 54 car. It’s a chance to honor him at a place he loved so much, surrounded by our NASCAR family and the fans who loved him too. I know Kyle would want us to be there, to keep showing up, keep racing, and keep carrying his legacy forward.
We hope you’ll join us at Bristol as we celebrate Kyle, the incredible legacy he left behind, and the love he had for racing that will always be a part of our family. ❤️🏁
