This episode's From the Pages of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is less an obituary for Jim Wilson, who was a rather minor footnote in wrestling history, and more of an extensive history of Jim Barnett era pro wrestling. Jim Wilson, a college football standout in Georgia, became a pro wrestler and claimed to have been considered as a future NWA World champion. However, he claims his career was derailed by Jim Barnett with whom he would feud with and battle in court for the rest of his life. This story touches on tons of history from Australia to Georgia to WCW. This is an incredible history piece from Dave Meltzer of which, I also had some personal involvement.
