Memphis Wrestling History Presents: 1977 The War For Memphis

Don’t hesitate, these Memphis books are the greatest.

The war that wasn't a war, the split between Jarrett & Gulas was over quickly and this book covers everything from beginning to end. Complete with cards and programs I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about Memphis Wrestling.

Excellent,Excellent,Excellent. Cannot say enough good things about this.

looked like a coloring book with no crayons another waste on my part

I found this whole book a fascinating look at the Memphis scene in a tumultuous time period. Having been too young to experience these events when they happened, Mr. James really helped piece together the happenings of the year and the events behind them. This was a great addition to my wrestling library. The hard work and research is much appreciated. I cannot wait to read the 1978 edition.

Did you ever wonder what being in the dressing room or a fly on the wall at a TV Studio on interview day was like?This is a must read for every fan of Pro Wrestling in the 70's and 80's.At stake a wrestling business that entertained tens of thousands of fans each week in live arenas and hundreds of thousands on a dozen TV stations. The opponents Nick Gulas wily veteran and Jerry Jarrett young talented head of Memphis Wrestling.I worked for both Nick and Jerry in 1977. Mark James captured the essence of the day to day struggle of this "War".

1977..A historical year for pro wrestling as jerry jarrett starts what would soon become one of the biggest wrestling promotions in North America.In this book you will read the stories of who went with Jarrett and who stayed with Promoter Nick Gulas and why.Of course, as always, Mark James,with help from Scott Teal and others,provides wrestling cards and beautiful pictures from that year as well! If your a fan of Memphis wrestling and want to take a trip down memory lane,this book is excellent! Highly recommended!

A very well-researched and written account of the Memphis Wrestling scene in a pivotal year that saw an innovative promoter named Jerry Jarrett win the Battle for Memphis over his longtime boss Nick Gulas. Mark James does a great job chronicling the drama both in and out of the Mid-South Coliseum ring and interviewed many of the stars and personalities who took part. A great primer for anyone interested in the history of Memphis Wrestling!
