"Before the Hornets, the Panthers and Bobcats, there was wrestling. And before Interstate 485 and the New South, there was George South." - Tom Sorensen, Charlotte Observer NEW! MESSAGE TO THE FANS AUGUST 2008 SAT. AUG. 9th, 2008 • SUGAR CREEK REC. CENTER • CHARLOTTE NC 943 W SUGAR CREEK ROAD, CHARLOTTE NC 28213 AUGUST 2008
I want to begin this month's letter just reminding everyone what I believe! I am a sinner, period, their is no good in me at all. I was on my way to Hell. There was no hope for me, but Jesus, the Son of God, not the one everyone makes fun of, or uses His name in a cuss word - but the King of Kings!Jesus, went to a cross, for me, He died on that tree, man tore off his cloths, spit in His face, and throwed Him in a dark cold cave. After 3 days, the world would never be the same! The devil's biggest nightmare just happened! Jesus came up from the grave! He is Alive! The cave is empty! Jesus has taken my sins away! Now the fun part, Do you believe this or not ? It is up to you, Forever depends on it. WHEW that felt good, just in case someone aint too sure what I believe in! This month is going to be great, me and my son Garrett went and picked out his first pair of football cleats. I was so excited, there may not be any food in this house, but he has some nice cleats. Remember what that great '' theologian '' Deion Sanders once said, "you may not can play football, but you sure can look like you can!'' Saturday. Aug. 9 , here in Charlotte is going to be one special night. Ricky Steamboats Jr. vs. Mr. Florida with his dad there as my special guest! Some tickets are still available. I want to thank Jesus this moment: at my training school this past week, I had Ricky Steamboat Jr., Reid Flair, and Bobby Eaton's son Dillon and all of my great guys in the ring together. What a great group of kids! I made sure I got a picture this time!

I am waiting any day now to get my book by Blackjack Mulligan in the mail, I cant wait. Hope you folks have ordered your copy. Hope also to see everyone at this year's NWA Fanfest, this is one of my favorite weekends , with Paul Jones being there, ''Watch Out'', I get to see him first! My grandbaby Makayla turned one year old in July. We had a big party on the Headlock Ranch, I personally arranged for her to see a special guest. Other kids get Batman or Spongebob at their party - - my grandbaby gets Mr. Florida!
Thank all of you for coming to my shows each week, over 25 years, I have been running my own shows! This is where my guys learn. Please support them. Now for my favorite part, "The Famous Anderson Slam'': For those who don't get this, let me explain, the Anderson Slam is my time, my words, me fussing, period! If you ever meet Ole Anderson, you will understand! First, nobody can video tape my shows with out asking me, period! You can not have people send money for my shows with out even asking me! What really ticks me off, I don't even get a copy! Nobody has even asked what I thought about this, but see, when ya'll sell them DVD with bad lighting, with no sound, who do you think they contact? ME!! No more!! Now, for the ''lady" who decided to breast feed her baby at ringside last week at my show, what the heck was you thinking? Has the world gone nuts? As I was walking toward the lady to confront her, three fans walk up, ''Oh George, that's not what she is doing." ....... WHAT??? Listen you goofs, after five kids, I know what breast feeding looks like! I asked the lady to go in the bathroom, she said, "No, thank you. We are about finished." ........WHAT??? I started yelling, I throwed the lady and her kid out! And so why does this not surprise me: it was one of the wrestler's wives!! Call about birthday parties, ring rentals, need prayer, let me know.... God bless ... - George Birthdays August, 5, Stane Lane / Aug. 6 , Jimmy Valiant / Aug. 12, Terry Taylor / August, 14, Buddy Landel , Bobby Eaton, Eddie Gilbert / Aug. 16, Dick Murdoch / Aug. 25, Ivan Koloff / Aug. 27, George Scott , Sgt.

"I first met George South wrestling in Atlanta in the early eighties at TBS Studios. George was phenomenal! I truly enjoyed our matches. Before long, I prayed every match was with George. Working with him in the ring assured me of the best match on the show.
One thing I love about George is that he takes great pride in making his opponent look as good as possible. Even when that opponent wasn't as good as he looked! If the business were full of George South's, wrestling would be a much better sport.
I'm proud to be able to call George one of my very dearest friends. I'm always looking forward to my next match with him. I hope the fun never ends for either of us!" - Brad Armstrong (from GeorgeSouth.com Guestbook 8/5/05) Recent e-mail exchange between Blackjack Mulligan and George South: George: I just worked with Greg Valentine in Mississippi. I shot him off into the ropes and said "Blackjacks claw!" He started laughing as I put him in it. He told me in the ring that my claw glove don't smell as good as yours did, haha. Blackjack: You have to get that glove stinkin', that's the secret to its success!
I'm paying tribute here to the late great Chief Wahoo McDaniel, doing the war dance during a match with Brad Armstrong in Spartanburg. I love working with Brad. And I miss Wahoo so much. -George
