| NWA Champion Tommy "Wildfire" Rich |
Photographs of Tommy Rich with the NWA belt are hard to come by since Rich only held the title for 96 hours. Three that we've found include on the cover of "The Wrestler" magazine (cover date September 1981), a cover of "The Ringsider" which was the official program of Georgia Championship Wrestling, and a posed photo that appeared in several of the news stand magazines back in the day. We are always looking for more.
The Ringsider cover is featured in the book "Ten Pounds of Gold." I treasure that issue; it was given to me many years ago by Ms. Rose Ogle, daughter of longtime Columbus/Macon/Albany Georgia promoter Fred Ward.
