Regional Rasslin is back with Guest Steve Crawford for installment #3 in the 1977 Tennessee Project! This week we talk the spring of 77, as Nick Gulas packs up and leaves Memphis after drawing only 400 fans at the Mid-South Coliseum. Meanwhile, Jerry Jarrett continues to thrive in his new promotion as Lance Russell & Dave Brown arrive to host TV! There's a controversy in New York when the Apter Magazines post a story on "The Night a Midget Beat the Giant", implying Jerry Lawler had defeated Andre the Giant in Memphis, hear how Terry Funk stirred the pot and Vince McMahon Sr. was none too pleased! Plus, we talk Paul Orndorff's first push in pro wrestling and feud with Jerry Lawler, "Crazy" Luke Graham returns, Ripper Collins' unique flare, a rookie Jake Roberts & JYD come through town, Jackie Fargo's over-ness, Roughhouse Fargo stops by, George Wagner becomes "Gorgeous" again, an early Bobby Eaton sighting, & so much more!
