The king of New Orleans - Greg Klein

Five years before the Saints took over the Superdome in 1985, New Orleans was one of the hottest cities in the Mid-South for Pro Wrestling. The reason for this was a man named Sylvester Ritter, AKA 'The Junkyard Dog'. He became a legend in the Big Easy, drawing nearly non-stop sellout crowds to the Superdome, a feat no other wrestler could match. In 1979, he smashed the colour barriers to become the first wrestler to be made the undisputed star of his promotion. This book aims to restore JYD to his place in the history books by looking at the man who made it happen.
