The James C. Melby Award is presented each year to an individual who has shown “excellence in the preservation of professional wrestling history through the written word.”
The Cauliflower Alley Club would like to congratulate our 2024 James C. Melby Award winner Jason Presley and welcome him to the CAC Hall of Fame.
The club would also like to thank Jamie Hemmings and Slam Wrestling for posting this very informative article on our 2024 historian award winner.
We'll start you off with the article here but, to read the article in it's entirety please visit the link below. Thanks, once again, to Slam Wrestling and congratulations Jason!
"There’s an old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. The first time this writer ever asked author and historian, Jason Presley, for a photo for a SlamWrestling.net article, he emailed me a photo of himself with his cat perched on his shoulder. As a fellow feline fanatic, it’s a photo I have never forgotten.
And when it comes to a thousand words, Presley has definitely surpassed this number with his extreme dedication to pro wrestling history. His meticulousness will be honored at this year’s Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) reunion with Presley receiving the James C. Melby Historian award. The 2024 CAC reunion will be held from August 19-21 in Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
The James C. Melby Award is presented each year to an individual who has shown “excellence in the preservation of professional wrestling history through the written word.”
The always humble Presley says the honor was “extremely unexpected.”
“It is tremendously gratifying to have been selected to this group of previous honorees,” remarked Presley, 48, in an email interview with SlamWrestling.net. “That they even know who I am and think enough of my work to include me in this conversation is more than I would have hoped for. It also means I really need to buckle down and truly earn it before they change their minds! I’m also excited that I’ll get to help choose future honorees.”
