Last question answer...Parkway Arena. It was an outdoor arena that hosted boxing AND wrestling. Being open air it had a limited yearly use.When the Gardens opened in 1949 it was demolished, NEW QUESTION: I totally expect Trent to get this one.His real name was Henry Faggart. He was a major star for Nick. A couple of tidbits, He once owned a night club just off Murfreesboro Road across from what is now the Nashville Rescue Mission called the Pink Flamingo, and although he made his living wrestling he had one of the most impressive bookie operations of the time. The old timers tell me he had a phone system in his apartment at the old 2131 apartments that would have made Ma Bell proud. Every Monday referee Tommy Sloan would go all over middle Tennessee collecting bets and making pay offs. What is his shoot name?
