Terry Wayne Allen (born June 11, 1959) is an American retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Magnum T. A. Allen won the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship twice and was being groomed for a potential run with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship but a car crash in 1986 forced him into retirement. After retiring, Magnum T. A. continued to appear in non-wrestling roles for multiple promotions.
In 1984, the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions signed Allen. After debuting, Magnum began feuding with Wahoo McDaniel and defeated him for the United States Heavyweight Championship on March 23, 1985. At The Great American Bash, he successfully defended the title by defeating Kamala. He then began feuding with the Four Horsemen before feuding solely with Horsemen member Tully Blanchard and his valet Baby Doll, losing the title to him on July 21. On September 28, Magnum lost to the Horsemen's leader Ric Flair in a nearly 30-minute title match for Flair's World Heavyweight Championship. Magnum would regain the U.S. title in the famous "I Quit" match at Starrcade on November 28.
Terry talks about his early days in San Antonio and Florida with Dusty Rhodes learning from him, Brusier Brody, Andre the Giant and Eddie Graham. Then he talks about the break he recieived in Bill Watts Mid South Wrestling. Then his big NWA fame came when Dusty Rhodes took the booking for Jim Crocket in the Mid Atlantic territory with the power of the TBS Ted Turner broadcasting Terry worked with the likes of Ric Flair and the Four Horseman and soon he was looked at as the rival to Hulk Hogan in the NWA. Sadly a carreer that destined for ultimate stardom was curtailed by a terrible car accident that he was lucky to survive from. What a great Classic Interview with stories from Dusty Rhodes to Baby Doll.
