Memphis was always open mike night....for stuff like this.

Lance Russell later returned to the USWA in 1994 as part of the "Monday Night Memories" and later co-commentate alongside with Dave Brown, Corey Maclin, Michael St. John and Stacy "The Kat" Carter until USWA ran out of business in 1997.

One of the great matches between the king & the stomper.

A little funky Jew

Imagine wrestling fans from Georgia and seeing Tommy Rich with the NWA Championship on TV. Party in the living room.

One of the great wrestler of his time great memories of the golden years of wrestling two of the greatest.

When I was a teenager i used to ride the bus to the Coliseum just to see The King one of the greatest wrestler of all times.Iwould run back home after the matches up parkway at night simple times then.

Looking great the greatest announcer of all times.RIP

The greatest wrestling announcers of all times.Their never be another.RIP

Stark was my PE coach in high school..

Still my favourite match of all time, i remember watching this video on the Saturday morning after it happened and i liked Lawler, but i was such a fan of Bill Dundee and i remember bein just devastated he lost, alot of you ger or newer wrestling fans overlook alot of the old wrestling, and especially memphis, but man whether they were working together or against each other these 2 guys always ALWAYS put on a hell of a match. Anbody that wants to be a wrestler should watch this match as much as they can, still my favorite match of all time.

Anyone know what this song is and who's the artist in the first part?

Handsome Jimmy was cool as hell. He still is, great guy. Crazy stories. The wrestling of the 70's and early 80's was as close to our generation had to having wild west heroes.

Dutch can throw a dog gone good right too

It should be called raised by a gypsy. At no point in the song does it say son of a gypsy.

Lance ❤❤

Best promo...I saw this live

Put in some clips of the great announcing

It looked like the band could not stop jammin and played the intro so long that the fog machine ran dry by the time he started singing

Why does Lawler have on the Fabulous ones tights?

Nicks taking his belts back to Beverly Hills. Hahaha. Sure he is

Who were you cheering for ?? Me, Lawler..

`NOTHING WORSE THEN A GREAT VIDIO WITH VERY LOW VOLUME FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

1962-I love these interviews. Now I don't know if they were told what to say OR it was all impromptu. but today's crop CANNOT match the braggadocio of THESE guys. they ALL are the best. They ALL deserve to be the champ. SO many titles were created but not enough to really go around.

this outdid any angle vince came up with

You know, Mike Jackson was always a disappointment to me. I never ONCE saw him moonwalk or shout, "HEE-HEE!!!".

The old JCP\NWA show opening. I miss it so.

I use to love getting up Saturday morning to watch Memphis wrestling and the only way Lawler won so many match there in Memphis is because him and Eddie Marlon was asshole buddy’s and the Ref and Lawler went to school together and both Eddie and Jerry Calhoun was Lawler’s big asshole buddy and what Lawler said goes

dutch was something else too, back in the day...

Dutch kinda looks like Patty from the Gimlin Patterson film.

Is saying Nobody will stop him? Does he know who Nobody really is?

There were so much women in the crowd back then!

Rip, thank you for keeping this up

Love how Dundee was kokey

A young looking Eddie Marlin...

I was 2 weeks old when this came out😂

Piper vs Lawler would have been epic

Truly beautiful piledriver! Rip Macho Man. Macho Madness forever!

Gordon Solie once stated on Lords of the Ring VHS, That the Piledriver is a dangerous hold, and should be banned in most states. Right here was a mistake but the question is, how come nobody told us at that time that this right here is scripted???

I still remember a clip I saw, from back in the late 1970s, where Jerry "The King" Lawler referred to "The Superstar" Bill Dundee, as, and I quote:"A sawed-off runt". It's unbelievable, that these two ever got around to ever teaming up together, and becoming Tag-Team Champions. And then-This! Jerry Lawler had no room to talk. While he's a legend, he's also, easily, one of the most protected Wrestlers I've ever seen, in my life! The Powers-That-Be wanted him to stay in their Territory, and with good reason. He was their main draw, and they knew it. The others that came in were good to excellent Wrestlers, but you noticed that, when he stuck around, the ratings, as I understand it, were good. Jerry, doing the whole schtick with Andy Kaufman, was classic stuff! I'm not sure if Andy knew about the ratings, and as to if they were beginning to drop off more than a little bit or what, but Jerry brought Andy aboard in Wrestling, and had a prolonged feud with him...and, suddenly, the ratings really began to improve-Dramatically! However, in the Mid-1990s, after Jerry went to the THEN-WWF, I think that that was when the ratings started to decline....and, after several years, USWA Wrestling was finished, and Power-Pro Wrestling started. Sadly, I don't remember that lasting very long. Maybe a couple of years? I'm not sure. Back to "The Superstar" Bill Dundee. He's my pick for favorite Wrestler from that area. He fought hard to get where he got to! He probably HATED dealing with Jerry Lawler in particular, and I can understand why. He was always being pushed back to the position of "Second Fiddle", snd it really got under his skin! He fought harder than anybody else, to be on top, and then-When he got there, there was "Mr. Jealousy" himself, Jerry "The King" Lawler, always claiming that he was the Head Honcho, or, if you will, the Big Banana! For my liking, I'll pick "The Superstar" Bill Dundee over Jerry "The King" Lawler, anyday!!!!;

dundee a star in memphis he would of been opening match jobber in wwf 🤣as far as lawler goes anyone could be part owner of a little southern territory in the 70s and 80s and make themselves the star🤣

Born in 71 30 miles north of Memphis. We had three channels on the old black and white TV. Saturday morning wrasslin was a weekly ritual until I joined the military in 89. It was absolute fire back in the day!

To me seeing Memphis wrestling was a treat on VHS when I could get them as a kid because I’m from Philly and that was Crockett/McMahon territory. Great promotion man.

I've lived in Memphis for all 56 years of my life and the happiest memories I have are sitting with my grandmother (Big Mama) every Saturday morning from 11am to 12:30 watching every second of this. Thank you for posting this

Dutch had the best sweater in all the territories

😂 “Uhh…I watch Richard Simmons in the morning…when I get a chance.” 😂

The name of the song is “The Ballad of Handsome Jimmy”

The belt said Southern Junior Heavyweight belt on it....was an interesting design

Jimmy Cornette is gaeeeeeeee for liking Richard Simmons 😅
