內容簡介

Its 1979 in Memphis Tennessee, Sam South, son of second generation star Bull South, wants to make it big on the professional wrestling circuit; all to win his estranged father’s respect. Sadly, the promoter Harvey Wallbanger doesn’t see him as a top star. But through an audio recording of Harvey’s shadier business practices, Sam might just get the chance to prove himself after all.Harvey Wallbanger however has his own problems micro-managing his talent. Former wrestler turned Church Pastor Bull South, who Co-owns the territory, has turned to religion. Now he and Harvey are at odds with one another. Hopefully he and his aide-de-camp Vixen Vegas can amend any and all problems that the lord might cause for the territory. ’The Golden Wonder’ Rod Golden is on the verge of losing his world title, and in turn a whole load of money. That’s something that his tearaway daughter and avaricious wife aren’t going to be too happy about.’The Chattanooga Nightmare’ Hex Clearfield is one of the few remaining free agents in wrestling. His services are well sought after. Sadly, his bodacious attitude and lust for women might be more than the Memphis faithful, and the Fearsome Monroeville Mauler are willing to contend with.Both Hex and his promoter, Milton Morton may have their work cut out for them in the cut throat territory of Memphis Tennessee.One way or another, everyone is finding out that wrestling might be ’Fake’, but business is about to get Real in Memphis.

 

作者簡介

Hi I’m Stevie Pearson, my first foray into the colorful world of pro-wrestling began at the age of nine years old, in 1990 when the WWF was in throws of its popularity on SKYTV. Back when HULKAMANIA was running wild, the brash, muscular and over the top world of wrestling was like nothing that was on TV at the time. As my wanderlust grew I saw more wrestling, ITV in the UK had started showing WCW worldwide in the wee hours of the night, EUROSPORT showed USWA wrestling from Memphis Tennessee and GALAVISION showed LUCHA LIBRE from Mexico. DSF the German channel even showed episodes of GLOW, that’s right I liked GLOW before it had a sitcom! From then on in, it was Magazines, WWF magazine, PWI, WCW Magazine, Inside Wrestling, Sport’s Review Wrestling, POWERSLAM and others, and of course I went to shows at local venues and saw British stars like BIG DADDY and GIANT HAYSTACKS who a few years previous were on WORLD OF SPORT wrestling on ITV. I proudly purchased wrestling VHS from video shop’s and car boot sales and re-watched every show over and over and over, and then by about 1999 I got on the internet and got into tape trading and message boards talking with other fans like myself. I even had a brief foray into Wrestling working for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance during 2003 that I loved dearly. And the more I found out about wrestler’s and their real life counterpart’s the more fascinated I became, and that fascination that never waned and I decided that I wanted to write about wrestling and The men and woman within it. So I read and studied up on wrestling’s rich history and background and along my journey I realized that wrestling personalities were produced and marketed by men and woman called promoters and booker’s and found them to be equally as compelling themselves. For much like wrestler’s they too are often quite engaging characters, and somewhere along the way I guess a few ideas developed in my head and thus I started writing REAL IN MEMPHIS. I quickly realized to do that story justice it couldn’t just end as one story, it simply couldn’t be one and done and I thought about it and figured I could probably cover the entirety of the late 1970’s to the early 1990’s as that was often regarded as professional wrestling’s most prominent and fascinating time to be a fan and thus WRESTLING NOIR was born. One last thing I’m a big believer in the saying, "If you like what I do, tell others, if you don’t, then tell me." Stevie Pearson.
