This morning, the City of Arlington, Texas announced that there will be a public memorial tribute concert to honor former IWF superstar and Arlington native Jack Gaither, who passed away this last Wednesday evening at the age of 35. The event will be held Friday, January 5, 2018 at AT&T Stadium and will be free to the public, but donations are encouraged.  All proceeds from donations and concessions will split among the Salvation Army and several as-yet-unidentified organizations.

The three-hour event will feature musical artists performing their greatest hits along with keynote speakers, from wrestling colleagues to former teachers and classmates, as they share their greatest moments with the late wrestling superstar.
