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.

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..

[DUMKOOPF]

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!!!

[israelmathes]

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.

[bryanelam]

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!!

[TheBlssdmf]

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

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

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.
