Rasslin 105: Finishing the 1977 Tennessee Split, A Look Into the Demise of Gulas Promotions

This week on Regional Rasslin, we finish up the Tennessee 1977 Project with Guest Steve Crawford joining Ray Russell on the program. We do a quick overview of the split between Jerry Jarrett and Nick Gulas and then dive into the following years that led up to the demise of Gulas' run as a promoter in 1980. We talk "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Dutch Mantel, Bobby Eaton, early Freebirds Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy, George Gulas, & more! We also look at the final card promoted by Gulas in Nashville, and the first card promoted by Jerry Jarrett when he took over the town. Lots of fun conversation had in this hour-long conversation!
