[[folder:Glendon]]
!!Glendon Marsh Sr.
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/WayneDuvall

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/i_speak_in_the_tongues_of_men_and_angels_3.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"You and me is the same."'']]

A wrestling promoter and mobster from Nashville who Eli worked for when he was a young man.

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Trying to back out of a deal with him at the last minute is a good way for him to pull a gun out and start blasting.
* BeardOfEvil: He has a little goatee, which fits his image as a corrupting, Satan-like figure.
* TheCorrupter: Glendon lured a young Eli into becoming muscle for his criminal operations. When the Gemstones have financial trouble, he tries to insert himself into the Gemstone empire, hoping to use it to launder his ill-gotten gains.
* DealWithTheDevil: He's the devil in any deal that's made. He tries this with Eli, offering to solve his financial difficulties in return for getting a stranglehold on the Gemstone empire.
* TheDon: He's no Vito Corleone, but he ''is'' a shady criminal with his fingers in many illegal pies, and doesn't seem to answer to anyone.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Racism doesn't seem to be one of his many flaws; he smacks his son and gives him an apparently sincere rebuke when Junior heckles black protestors fighting Jim Crow, expressing sympathy for them wanting to get a "piece of the pie."
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Played with. In the season 2 finale, after the one month time skip Junior hangs up a photo of everybody in the 1960s in his wrestling gym, saying he didn't consider his father a good man, but he did start the place and deserves some respect for that.
* {{Expy}}: He's an expy of every single one of the pre-WWF expansion territory promoters. He does seem to share some traits with Bill Watts and Fritz Von Erich in particular, though.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Glendon is a gregarious, charismatic man who's quick with a compliment or a joke, but genial as he might appear he's still a ruthless gangster who'll turn on you the moment things don't go his way.
* MirrorCharacter: He and Roy Gemstone are the opposing forces that influenced Eli growing up.

[[folder:Junior]]
!!Glendon Marsh Jr.
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/EricRoberts (adult), Tommy Nelson (teen)

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roberts.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"I set 'em up and you knock 'em down."'']]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see young Junior]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vlcsnap_2023_06_30_11h47m27s773.png[[/labelnote]]]]

A mysterious, avuncular figure from Eli's past who works in the world of professional wrestling.

* AffablyEvil: He might be incredibly sketchy, but he's also infectiously jovial.
* GoodAllAlong: "Good" might be stretching it since he's still a shady criminal, but as it turns out he sincerely means no harm toward the Gemstones, forgives Eli for his involvement in Glendon Senior's death and wishes to be his friend, having only reappeared because Thaniel Block came sniffing around asking questions.
* InadequateInheritor: His father was a fairly powerful criminal, but the old man seemed to hold Junior in contempt. Averted: it turns out that his father completely failed to change with the times, whereas Junior wanted to invest in the new, WWE-esque style of wrestling which has paid off in the present day.
* LaughablyEvil: Junior very clearly has a dangerous edge to him that makes him a somewhat unnerving presence, but he's also quick-witted and gloriously hammy.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Junior is ''very'' touchy-feely with Eli.
* PsychopathicManchild: He acts very much the same in the present day as he did when he was barely out of his teens, being a reckless loudmouth who gives little thought to the consequences of his actions.

[[caption-width-right:350:'''Judy:''' ''They're from Asheville, Daddy, they hate God.'']]
BJ's mother, stepfather and younger sister.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: KJ teases BJ relentlessly. Usually it's in good humor but sometimes it seems like she does go too far, such as making fun of BJ's outfit at his baptism when he was earnestly excited about it.
* HollywoodAtheist: KJ particularly, who is a bit dismissive and cold towards religion.
-->'''Ms. Barnes:''' We're a secular people.

[[folder: Lyle's posse]]
!! Doug, Chet & Shane
-> '''Portrayed By:''' Jeff Fradley, Chad Mountain and Michael Smallwood

Lyle Lissons' bumbling henchmen.

* AssholeVictim: It's hard to feel too bad when Lyle burns two of them to death when they were there to murder a journalist.

* StupidCrooks
* TooDumbToLive: Brought multiple grenades to kill ''one'' guy.
