George Harris

Jim Crockett Promotions

Harris began competing for Jim Crockett Productions in 1959. He stayed with the promotion under three different owners and continued to work for the company after retiring as a wrestler. Jim Crockett, Sr., the original owner, was a good friend of Harris. He promised Harris that he would be guaranteed employment with the company if Harris learned to read and write. After retiring from wrestling, he lived with his wife Edna in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. In 2002, he suffered a heart attack and died on November 29.
