The Legacy of Memphis/NWA wrestler Eddie Marlin - TWT - 8/16/19
Release Date: 08/16/2019
Description: Jonathan Hood reflects on the passing of Memphis/NWA wrestling legend, Eddie Marlin. You will hear from his dear friend, Randy Hales, longtime Memphis wrestling promoter, Jim Cornette, pro wrestling manager/promoter/podcaster and more. One of the greatest babyfaces in the history of Tennessee wrestling, Eddie Marlin, died today, just days after his 89th birthday. He was one of the few to say that he sold out the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis -- and in the match, he and Al Greene essentially worked a front facelock for 55 minutes. Marlin described the sellout bout a few years back on an podcast of Booking Memphis Wrestling with Jerry Jarrett. "I was in there with Al and and Al got a front facelock on me, and somehow, one way or another, when he did, I bit my lip and it started bleeding, bleeding pretty good. And the people thought that from that front facelock that it was coming from my throat -- and I mean, them people, they really, really got feeling sorry for me," recalled Marlin. "And we worked that front facelock, it seemed like forever, because the people just kept standing and standing and standing, and finally he backed me into the corner, and when he stepped back, I fell down and that was our call then, a small package, or jackknife, and I pinned him one, two three, and that Coliseum went wild along with me." Jarrett, who was Marlin's son-in-law, raved about the bout. "Eddie and Al were so good that they worked one hold for about 55 minutes. I was afraid the time limit was going to run out on them because we set it up that Al would give Eddie a pretty good beating and Eddie would sneak a win in. It was just an amazing match to me, that somebody could keep the fans' interest for 55 minutes, with one hold. It was amazing." It worked because the fans believed in Marlin, who was not huge, at roughly 6-foot, 200 pounds, and wasn't in especially awe-inspiring shape. "Eddie was a really, really good babyface. The fans loved him and took to him, whatever situation you put him in," said Jarrett. And there was little ego there either, even if Billy Spears once spray-painted "Big Shot" on Marlin's car. Eddie Marlin was born August 13, 1930, to Eddie and Annie Mai Marlin, in Nashville. His siblings included sisters Anna and Peggy, and a brother, Thomas, who also got into the wrestling business. In a 1979 interview in the TNT Power newsletter published by Terry Justice, Marlin recalled breaking into the business in the early 1950s. "The way I got started, I was working in Nashville and met some wrestlers at the 'Y' and worked out with them. One night [promoter[ Nick Gulas was running a spot show in Alabama and one of the wrestlers didn't show up, so I took his place. I had been going to matches all my life," he explained. The legendary Jackie Fargo saw something in Marlin. Early in his career, Marlin lost to Fargo, and Fargo called promoter Nick Gulas and said, "Eddie's a pretty good hand. Why don't you help him out some?" Much of Marlin's success came in tag teams, and he won belts in Arkansas and Kentucky, as well as his home state.
