Rasslin 102: Tennessee Sept - Dec 1977 (Valiant Arrives, Lawler Un-Retires)
Steve Crawford returns to Regional Rasslin to talk more Tennessee 1977, Jarrett vs. Gulas, Memphis vs. Nashville! Jimmy Valiant arrives as the new top heel as Jerry Lawler Un-Retires and begins his first big babyface run in the territory to exact revenge on the newcomer! Plus, we deep dive into results from both sides of Tennessee from September - December and watch as one territory flourishes, while the other drops down to 600 fans in attendance (yikes!). Plus, what on Earth is a "Scaffold Battle Royal"?? No, seriously... what is it???

Regional Rasslin' - Territory Talk
Before the national expansion of Pro Wrestling the business was split into many different regional promotions referred to as "the territories". Each territory competed within their own regional boundaries with unqiue wrestling stars, championship belts, and local TV. We talk the good old days from the territory era, from the AWA to JCP, New York to Los Angeles, Memphis to Mid-South, Portland to Florida, Stampede to Maple Leaf, Houston to Dallas, well... you get the point!
