Magnum TA Talks NWA Fanfest on FOXCharlotte's Got Game

Charlotte, N.C. - Terry Allen, better known as "Magnum T.A." to wrestling fans in the mid 80's was one of Crockett Promotions major faces until a car wreck on a rain slick road ended his career in 1986.

Terry talks with FOXCharlotte's Bruce Snyder about the wreck, rehab and the psychological effect it had on him. However, he also expresses his happiness with the blessings he has and his outlook for the future. Terry currently works in the private sector and will make an appearance at the upcoming NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest that will be held at the Hilton University Place hotel August 6-9, 2009.

wow Magnum T aged well

I find it interesting that Magnum mentioned Randy Orton as a guy he would love to face. That could have been a big feud. MVP when he was US champ said he would have loved to face Magnum.

Magnum was a early version of what Steve Austin would become. The badass good guy who had a edge to him unlike the do-gooder Cena.

I saw Magnum in his last match in 1986 when he wrestled Jimmy Garvin at the "Big Brown Box" in Greenville SC.

Ric Flair actually recruited Magnum,and helped to convince him to come over from Mid-South wresling to JIm Crockett Promotions back in the 80's.The easier traveling and more money were the big selling points that Flair used when he helped to convince magnum,rock n roll express,and others to come to JCP when he would go into other territories to defend his world title like Bill Watt's territory,which was terrible when it came to traveling on the road back and forth to matches..

I'll always remember the "I Quit" match that Magnum had with Tully Blanchard.Wrestlers like that was a big reason why Jim Crockett Promotions was so popular during that time.They simply had the best stable of wreslers during that period,as Mid-Atlantic wrestling was the best.

That's sarcasm, right?

He was blamed for driving too fast on a wet road. The cops determined that wasn't true. At least he's alive.

Too Bad his Career Ended So early.
