This book traces the history of professional wrestling in the South within the Trans-Mississippi Region between the 1950s–1990s and argues that the political, social, economic, and cultural forces of modernity in the Sunbelt South reflected a new form of southern and national populism that also embedded within the professional wrestling industry.
Christopher L. Stacey
