"Before the Hornets, the Panthers and Bobcats, there was wrestling. And before Interstate 485 and the New South, there was George South.

South has a gift. Since he lost six matches a week and won one a month, it wasn't winning.

It was this; even when his opponent was the 400-pound Warlord, South charged at him as if he expected to win. Fans who take their share of hits, but refuse to stay down, can relate."
