Henry Faggart[1] (June 26, 1930 – June 24, 2013)[1] was an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Jackie Fargo.[1] He competed in Southeastern regional promotions and the National Wrestling Alliance during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
A mainstay of NWA Mid-America (later the Continental Wrestling Association), he served as a mentor to Jerry "The King" Lawler and The Fabulous Ones, among other wrestlers in the Memphis area. He was known for his blonde hair and "Fargo Strut" mannerism, having held 45 tag team championships throughout his career, with the likes of Don Fargo, Sonny "Roughhouse" Fargo, amongst others.
