I remember Jessie the Body with his colorful outfits and boa. Only he could be man enouogh to pull off a boa. haha. I saw Austin Idol here and there growing up but wish I could have seen more as he was my favorite and still is second only to Handsome Jimmy Valiant! Thanks for the post!

What an awesome team that I never knew about! The Lariat and the Body? How cool was Memphis wrestling? Plus, you got to listen to Lance Russell

This is great, thanks for posting this!

I think there were 2 singles matches involving Idol vs Hansen as well.

I would love to see those if they exist.

cool! I never knew that Stan Hansen wrestled in the Memphis area. I would have loved to have seen him and Jerry Lalwer wrestle single.

Ventura in the Mid South region.

Actually this was at the Nashville Fairgrounds Sports Arena.

[GShea]

No, this was at the Cook Convention Center in Memphis.

[dandbradley]

@robbhelt No, the fairground arena was much darker. I hated that place.

@photonicus .......ventura actually held the southern heavyweight title on a couple of occasions
