The industry mourns the passing of a promoting icon.

The Cauliflower Alley Club wishes to extend its' sincerest condolences to the Jarrett family on the passing of the iconic Jerry Jarrett.


Mr. Jarrett was one of the most influential promoters in the history of pro-wrestling and, although in attendance at the 2022 Cauliflower Alley Club annual reunion, famously, slept through the Memphis Mania awards night as explained in a funny tale by his son, Jeff Jarrett at the awards dinner podium.
