Member of the Hall of Heroes
Class of 2007
GEORGE SCOTT
Long-time referee Tommy Young
introduced George Scott, who was largely responsible for putting the
territory on the fast track in the 1970s with his booking expertise;
Scott did the same for the inaugural WrestleManias.
To Young, though, Scott was the man who
gave him a break when he was out of work after the demise of the
International Wrestling Association, a rival to Jim Crockett
Promotions. "I run the show here. I'm going to use you," Young
recalled his friend saying.
"I think it was probably one of the
greatest times in my life, when I did the promotion, the booking,
and things like that," Scott added.
