Tom Packs

By the early 1930s, the professional wrestling industry was in transition following the break-up of the Gold Dust Trio and amidst the economic vacuum left by the Great Depression.

By the time of Jack Curley’s death in 1937, Tom Packs had already emerged as arguably the industry’s most powerful promoter; and over the years, he subsequently helped groom a number of the sport’s top wrestlers, including Bill Longson, Abe Coleman, Orville Brown, and Fred Blassie.
