East Tennessee Wrestling - Full Episode 

If Beau James is a guest on a podcast...I'm a listener every time.

I asked Ron Wright what he thought of Nick Gulas. His response? "He was a crook."

East TN is a very underated territory to the outside...The Johnson City Rec building on Legion Street was a who's who showcase in the day..

Beau James is a wrestling treasure. He is the man.

The mr james is s historian about wrestling in the east tn area he has a couple of great books i highly recommend them to the wrestling fan ......great episode here

ron wright should be in the hall of fame

Thank You @thekingofkingspot. I live in Greeneville would like to talk to you about the little bit of wrestling in Greeneville. I had a Great Grandmaw that never misses a show that came to Greeneville & Newport. She went to the Johnson City when my uncle could take her. She would tell me stories about the heat the Wright brothers had and many other tails.

Even Jim Crocket didnt want to go against Roy Welch lol...

Beau never met a guy named Jim...

I'm from Kingsport and still live close by, I grew up seeing Beau and his ex wife Misty all of the time at the Kingsport Civic Auditorium. My first local show was at the Kingsport Civic Auditorium in 2003 or 2004. It had Big Boss Man, Tony Atlas, David Flair, and even Sensational Sherri, I was only 7 or 8 years old and its still burnt into my brain meeting Boss Man and telling him how big of a fan of his I was, and i rememeber him being such a gentleman. I've talked to Beau a bunch over the years in person and on Facebook, the guy is a walking encyclopedia and is just a good dude overall.

❤ I'm from Bristol and love hearing these stories. Great show guys. Everyone loved Ronnie Garvin around here.

My favorite be cause I’m from East Tennessee

This guy is great. Really enjoyed this.

Beau is a regular guest on the Between The Sheets podcast and tells the whys and wherefores on every last one of the stories people bring up.

Thank you beau james i have been a wrestling fan hardcore since 77 seen most of the matchs from mid atlantic , southeastrn in jc . And all of the Brisco and bradshaw pods from Kingsport tn . Luv u guys

I grew up on Ron Wright. Years later had the pleasure to meet him and go to his home. After he retired from wrestling the built racing engine for go karts. His son's raced. Even at the race track in Rogersville when people realize who he was it looked like the gimmick table or a Jon Force pit people were everywhere wanting to meet the man the myth the legend

I did enjoy this.

I'm a younger guy from Memphis and the amount of info that Beau and Mark James, Scott Teal, and Tim Dills has about TN wrestling is just amazing!!!

Wow! What a show! Enjoyed this one so much!

What a great video. Love Beau! I grew up in Jonesborough and can still vividly remember when I turned on WJHL on Saturday afternoon expecting to watch SECW and there was ICW with Garvin, Orton, and Roop! Beau- didn't WJHL show ICW at 11:30pm on Saturday night for a while?

Abingdon Va (about 10 miles from Bristol). Is where I'm from so cool hearing about my region on this show. Thank you!!

Happy Hulkster, Birthday!!

Great interview. Can't wait for this book

How about a playable Elvis in a wwe video game? Then we could have Elvis vs lawler!

Absolutely the best show ever !!! I am an Ace Tennessee. Boy live in Pigeon Forge

Grea episode...Beau James really knows his stuff and has a great memory..i just live about 20 miles from him....my former supervisor used to work for him...P.J.Sharpe....aka Jeff Clark

Thank you for your time & doing this @thekingofkingsport! Best episode yet, guys!

Damn, what a podcast!! This had my undivided attention from beginning to end!! I also have to add this, I'm a proud Kingsport native & The King of Kingsport did a incredible job on this!!

I am not familiar with this gentleman. Did his territory open up after Smokey Mountain closed down or did Smokey Mountain open in opposition to him?

Fascinating stuff. I grew up close to Sweetwater. We always had some wild small time promotions coming through. Everybody I grew up with was a wrestling fan. It’s like it’s mandatory in East TN along with being a Vols fan.

You guys got one helluva podcast. Great episode. The Steve Keirn and Eric Embry episodes are my favorites

Tennessee wrestling for all the complaining from NWA big boys about the Ga Ga involved, proved to be the precursor to Sports Entertainment . I have to admit , not a fan of SE .

I remember when Beau would put hits out on "outlaw" promotions and wrestlers. Glad those days are behind us, East Tennessee is in good hands now, Thanks Tony, Rodney, Cody & Eddie, and others for bringing East Tennessee indy's into the modern era.

I remember most of this happening, the all star wrestling on 26, and the icw. Being a kid at the time I didn't know it was a wrestling war and I was just thrilled that another wrestling show was on. Now I wish it had never happened. Southeastern wrestling in Knoxville was so much better than anything around now.

Born & raised in Bristol so love hearing these old stories. Hear names my grandma used to talk about

Happy Late Birthday Mr. Brisco

Beau Knows!

Beau is great. But man this would be better without Bradshaw.
