Charting the Territories Podcast Companion Piece - Episode 14

-

Every month, Jon Boucher and I create a podcast that discusses a wide range of topics related to what is covered on this blog. I thought it would be helpful to create a 'companion piece' that goes along with each episode. We often reference web sites, books, YouTube videos, etc., on the podcast, and this companion piece will provide links to many of those materials so that you can see what Jon & I are discussing.


Links will open in a new window. Images from Norm Kietzer publications used with permission from Arcadian Vanguard.


This Companion Piece goes with Episode 14 of the podcast, which can be found at http://chartingthepodcast.com

THIS MONTH I LEARNED...


Jon learned that Killer Karl Kox was originally cast in the Oliver Stone movie JFK as Lieutenant J.C. Day, but they ended up using the original footage of Lt. Day instead of the recreated scene

Al learned that Kevin Nash was NOT the first wrestler to beat Goldberg, as his last 'dark match' before debuting on TV saw him lose to Chad Fortune.

A Dog and a King: Looking at The Junkyard Dog's experiences in the wake of desegregation and assassination

A heretofore seemingly forgotten story in the early life of Sylvester Ritter (The Junkyard Dog) may offer some insight into the personality of the man who later transcended race to become the first Black wrestler indisputably pushed as the top babyface of a major pro wrestling territory in the South.

It is based on the largest possible collection of house show records, culled from my own research as well as various other sources, online or otherwise.
