Five years before the Saints took over the Superdome in 1985, New Orleans was one of the hottest cities in the Mid South for pro wrestling. The reason for this was a man named Sylvester Ritter, A.K.A. the
Junkyard Dog. JYD became a legend in The Big Easy, drawing nearly non-stop sellout crowds to the Downtown Municipal Auditorium and huge crowds to the Superdome, a feat no other wrestler ever came close to. This book aims to restore JYD to his place in the history books by looking at his famous feuds, the business back-stories and the life of the man who made it happen.
