Teeny: Professional Wrestling's Grand Dame - Paperback

by Brennon Martin (Author)

Rule #1: Be on time.
Rule #2: No foul language.
Rule #3: Stay away from the "arena rats."
Rule #4: NEVER break kayfabe.

Virtually every big name in wrestling in the second half of the 20th Century crossed paths with "Ms. Christine," as she was known to most. If they followed her rules, Christine "Teeny" Jarrett probably taught them a thing or two about staying out of trouble and saving money for a rainy day. If they got out of line, they likely faced The Grip.

Over the course of her 50-year career in wrestling, Teeny worked her way from selling tickets in the back of a Nashville, Tennessee shoe store to running a network of towns for Nick Gulas and Roy Welch to owning one of the most successful territories in the business with her son Jerry Jarrett - until they lost it all to "that so-and-so" Vince McMahon

Teeny was my grandmother. This is her story.

Oh, and did you know bears can wrestle?

Author Biography

Brennon Martin was born in Nashville, Tennessee and currently lives in Denver, Colorado. While far from the lap of luxury, he did grow up living a life of relative privilege thanks to the work of his grandmother, Christine "Teeny" Jarrett, who lifted his immediate family up from the depths of poverty into which she was born. Her work even paid for him to attend Montgomery Bell Academy, the prestigious Nashville prep school through which he was then able to earn a full scholarship to the University of North Carolina. Brennon grew up largely hiding his familial connection to professional wrestling, revealing it only to a trusted few. His first book, "Teeny," is an ode to his grandmother. She was an amazingly strong woman with unmatched generosity, and Brennon wants her story to be known.
