In the 1970's Jack was the king of Tampa. The old Championship Wrestling From Florida Program was one of the highest rated programs in Central Florida. Jack became a legend in those times with legendary rivalry's with Ric Flair, Harley Race and Dory and Terry Funk. Hosted by Gordon Solie, this show is still remembered fondly by old timers of Tampa Bay, myself included!
Tampa is a HUGE Wrestling city. Before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before The Tampa Bay Ray's, before the Tampa Bay Lightning and before the Tampa Bay Storm (and even before the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Tampa Mutiny), Tampa had the dog track, and professional wresting - pre 1975.
