WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler and TNA co-founder Jeff Jarrett both spoke on the passing of NWA wrestling legend Jackie Fargo. Lawler was hugely inspired by Fargo, who also wrestled with Jarrett's father and won tag team gold on multiple occasions.
Without the Fabulous Jackie Fargo, there would never have been a King Jerry Lawler. RIP Jackie. pic.twitter.com/29C9bEg06z

RIP Jackie Fargo… Huge influence on my career… Often imitated, but never duplicated…
