Jackie Fargo Hospitalized

This is from Jim Ross' twitter.

Memphis wrestling legend Jackie Fargo has not passed away. He is in ICU suffering from pneumonia. Fargo was a huge influence to Jerry Lawler

There were some reports that he had passed away but that doesn't appear to be the case. I hope he pulls through.

I hadn't heard anything about this until Fanfest promoter Greg Price mentioned he had heard rumors and contacted some of Fargo's family. The word from Price was that Fargo was in ICU but would be o.k.

I met him and his wrestling brother Don at the Fanfest in 2009. Seemed like a cool guy, and is probably THE legend of Memphis wrestling.

@jrsbbq Jackie Fargo is doing better. He was moved from ICU to a regular room via @markywolf

It sounds like he is improving. That is definately good news.
