DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Death of Jerry Blackwell
Today we return to the pages of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter for another biography/obituary from Dave Meltzer. This time we look at the Mountain From Stone Mountain — Jerry “Crusher” Blackwell.
Blackwell was a big star in the AWA and remained loyal to them for most of his career, though he did also have success in other areas. He was known for being very obese, yet still able to throw a dropkick. His last few years were pretty sad. This is the story of Jerry Blackwell.
