Booking Memphis Wrestling With Jerry Jarrett

This a fun wide-ranging show full of fascinating topics. We start with the premise of doing a Booking 101 series - a collection of shows where one of the all-time brilliant bookers in wrestling history passes down his knowledge to younger generations. We start with a discussion of why Memphis TV was so special, but we really get into the heart of Jerry Jarrett as an artist and writer. How did his love of literature and romantic poetry motivate his booking. How did "Et tu, Brute?" lead to Lawler-Dundee? How did Scottish poetry inform how he booked Randy Savage? How did watching a late night B-movie lead to the creation of the first scaffold match? How did his daughter's love of MTV lead to the first pro wrestling music videos? How did Jerry's experience at a movie theater "Rocky" touch his wrestling booking so much? It's a deep episode that Memphis fans will love, as we try to get to what was really at the core of our favorite wrestling.
