Memphis Wrestling History
What's In This Special Area?

The materials in this area were copied either directly from the original photographs or from the original newspapers. All of the other areas on this website, images came from microfilm. The materials here cover the people involved in Memphis wrestling, from 1940's through the 1980's.

Some of the people in this special collection include: Wrestlers ( Sputnik Monroe, Jackie Fargo, Billy Wicks, Tojo Yamamoto, Jerry Lawler, Lou Thesz, Gene Kiniski & Andre the Giant) as well as Promoters (Roy Welch, John Regus & Les Wolfe) from decades gone by.

A very big thank you, goes to the "Special Collections" Department at the Universiy of Memphis. There is no way this new area would exist without their amazing inventory.
