RIP Len Rossi, I always found him a very interesting and unique guy in Tennessee wrestling history. I've wondered if his career hadn't basically ended after the 1972 car wreck he was in if that would have helped Nick Gulas last any longer as a promoter, especially when Jerry Jarrett split off from Gulas. I think Rossi would have stayed with Gulas, and he was his booker too. Rossi had a good 8 to 10 years left as a headliner if he hadn't gotten into that wreck, but he was more of a tag team guy too. Ultimately I don't think it would have mattered, but it's an interesting thought.
