I haven't heard about the Jeffers brothers in ages until today when I read about the passing of Jim Jefferson. It was a weekend tradition to watch NWA wrestling back in the 80s and while wrestlers like the Horsemen, Dusty, Road Warriors, Magnum, etc. were the big stars, guys like the Jeffers were a part of the "team" too and helped these guys look as great as they said they were. Really miss those days.
RIP Mr. Jefferson and condolences to the family.
