[10.0] "The type of wrestler that made me fall in love with the "back in the day, in the territory times (...)". Popular, good looking, put hundred of great matches in his stunning career. Jackie Fargo was the all package."

[10.0] "A legend in Tennessee. Trained Jerry Lawler, had some good matches in his prime, and helped popularized the southern style of wrestling."

[10.0] "Haven't seen much of Fargo at his peak due to the lack of surviving footage, but the video that is available that shows him winding down as a wrestler displays a WRESTLING GOD being worshiped at every venue he set foot in. This guy's style and ability helped inspire Jerry Lawler and many other wrestlers that became icons through their work in the Memphis territory. It's a shame so few seem to know about him anymore."
