[SuperKing487]

lol jerry the king lawler superking'



[maynardsmoreland]

I don't think he's inebriated...I think he has a bad cold...

[exphoenix]

"I know about your box." Uhm, awkward. 

[SenorZorrozzz]

Dental work?

[kennybolin]

yes he did..Dr. Frankenstein.

one of my favorite Memphis episodes ever...LOL

[kennybolin]

yes he did..Dr. Frankenstien.

[sydeston]

No way was Adam West under the influence of anything other than his own self delusion

THIS IS GOLD!!!!

[aalton]

Adam West did faaaaarrrrr better than Cena's done in the last 10 years or whatever its been since he's gayed out wwe

[drewcifer66]

[TMC1982Part2]

The Mayor of Quahog meets The King of Memphis!

[arkansoul]

@TMC1982Part2 That's funny as hell!!!

[stevemichiganman]

Does anybody know what year this was made?

[sknyrd77]

@stevemichiganman 1976 ,or  Jan. '77

[stevemichiganman]

@sknyrd77...Thanks! It sounds like Adam West was either very tired, or under the influence of alcohol when he did this.

[bonerpolice22]

why would Spider-Man care about The King stealing a Superman outfit??

[Stereolabdream]

This is fabulous...from a UK Lawler fan....

[Helt91]

I've heared about your.... box

[RevDarkehorse]

Adam West would have to be drunk off his ass to do this. Not one of Memphis Wrestling's finer moments.

[catbird007]

I give those guys a big thumbs up, for being able to keep a straight face during all that ...lol

[ectoBiologist]

....and Super King, the best one of the three!

[pbrick6301]

I've heard about your box.

[Serabo]

they should have had a match, dont be surprised if adam west and burt ward host raw

[BigTrev]

Does.... does Adam West have a lisp? O_o

[boutitbenza699]

i'm surprise this hasn't been on botchamania yet.

[Memphismom]

Use your right and left turn indicator...

[pbrick6301]

When Adam West says "I've heard about your box..." he has no idea what he is going to say next. It's called being impaired.

[amd0576]

Now... now I have seen everything. Nothing scares me anymore.

[pbrick6301]

The description "possibly inebriated" is not ever a description one wants to read before his own name on youtube.

[pbrick6301]

"I didnt want anybody to recognize me..."

Huh?

[GoTransit]

He was out of shape that's is the most likely reason he didnt suit up in the original outfit - this was after the Batman was off the the Air.

[warduke]

Man I hope a dunk batman never rips me a new one for not using my right and left turn indicator!

[38106chick]

ROTFL...I grew up watching Lance, Dave, and Jerry and I can tell you this was "cutting edge!"

Only in Memphis!

[HHHKOK06]

Oh God that's the King!!

[xpdfg]

LOL Jerry Lawler

[RUINOUSLY]

He's heard about his box.

[Groupsto]

Driving advice.... Classic Adam West Batman lol

[booddoogler]

What the hell is he wearing? it looks like a womans track suit and a batman mask. lol.

[joshserbus]

1:21

"Supe....superman".

[majortom321]

the joke no one got lol

[lolrrod]

he says "he's not a nice man"

[betomas]

WTF does Batman say at the end? "he's got a nice bags"

???

[arkansoul]

@betomas He said "He's not a not man..."

[TheBadGuy235]

ah thats great

if only we lived in a world where superheroes and wrestling were real

*le sigh*

[BobbyDes]

I thought we did

[TheBadGuy235]

i'm not counting those guys online who claim it. damn, it almost makes me wanna become a supervillain to spite them

yesss......yes i like that

[germytrain]

call spidey baby!

[SayingNo]

insane

[flugel76]

"I call him Supe...."

100% WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[felicity4711]

Was he at an elementary school?

[sknyrd77]

Memphis wrestling Sat. morning show, around 1976-77. Lawler was the main "heel" in Memphis then...

[JokerDeLarge]

"I've heard about your box."

[ccie12933]

Oh, man. Classic.

[clintbronson5]

REDNECKS!!! Their Batfans and I know they are!

I just love this. Adam has said in his book he hated doing stuff like this(don't get him wrong he loves the fans) Just hated subjecting the character BATMAN to publicity stuff like this,hence why he would drink to fight the demons...Left and right turn indicator...Only Mayor West would say that Or more like Adam WEEE :)

[darrellkaiser1985]

I kind of like Adam's tone of voice. The lisping has got to go though.

[calimarishefebeash]

This is great stuff.

Anybody know who the hell Lawler had in the box?

[arkansoul]

Jerry Lawler had Frankenstein in the box. Honestly...I saw this episode as a kid.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@arkansoul : Memphis is the only promotion that could have Batman and Frankenstein in the same episode!!!

[arkansoul]

@DeepSouthWrestling1 Ain't that the truth. Not to mention "SuperKing"...

[IKEEICHOLTZ]

There is no excuse not to use your indicators.

This is just fucking weird.

[philblunt420]

he's got foreign objects in his utility belt

[brockdanger76]

LOL, the King Vs Drunk Adam West..greatest wresting promotion ever..

[StarscreamsAnnihilat]

Holy Batcrap,is that WWE's Jerry 'The King' Lawlor? lol

[clintbronson5]

I sense some BAT-BRANDY! :)

[clintbronson5]

Adam with the SLUUUUUUUURINNNNG?

[sedugusella]

this is sooo awful, damn, I'm so glad people don't do this kind of stuff with super heroes any longer...

[javoman13]

je je this Batman looks like a cat and not bat.

[nesnman]

I believe Adam was told not to wear the full costume in public during that time. They explains why you don't see his full outfit.

[clintbronson5]

Is Adam West trashed????????

[Dollarbob]

that black cowl is way cooler!! they shoulda switched to that and made the series darker. if only they knew better

[s0uperp00p]

the series was supposed to be stupid and campy

[RadicalNotion]

no fool. they stupidly thought that any live action portrayal of a comic book would HAVE TO BE campy and corny. they didn't understand that you could have a guy dressed in a bat suit and actually have dramatic, intense storytelling.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@RadicalNotion : That's not exactly true... there was no "dramatic, intense storytelling" in mainstream comics in 1966. The style of the show reflected the mood of the comics at the time...

[Avilos]

Its the same cowl as on the show! The video quality and lighting are just so bad here it just seems darker.

[RadicalNotion]

it's the same DESIGN but not the same color you shit head. look at Lawler's superman suit...the light blue is coming through clear as goddamned day!! if it was the dark blue mask from the show, we could tell!!! so fuck you

[Avilos]

You don't know what you are talking about. THe cowl on the show was a very dark blue/purple color. With the heavy lighting the show had it appeared brighter. This is low grade video tape with low lighting. Use your brain...

[Aleister77newaccount]

you moron...look at his dark fucking gloves and jacket. i have seen a better quality version of this scene and the cowl is BLACK. it is black. so use your brain and stop perseverating on your biases like an ignorant fool!

[Aleister77newaccount]

hey jerkboy...is that the same jacket that he wore on the show too?!?! hahaha

[arkansoul]

"If you used your left and right turn indicator in your car..." Funny

[JohnnyBeatdown]

Spidey baby~~~~

[BrooklynChivalry]

WTF?!?

HOLY ----!

THAT REALLY IS ADAM WEST!!! WOW, DEBATING WITH WWF's JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER TOO!

I'VE NEVER SEEN (OR EVEN HEARD OF THE EXISTANCE OF) THIS CLIP BEFORE NOW!

I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT WAS FROM A LIVE WRESTLING EVENT...

ADAM SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS A BAD COLD, BUT HE STILL LOOKS BETTER HERE THAN HE DID IN THOSE TWO SUPERHEROES TV SPECIALS!

(NEXT QUESTION IS: HOW CAN I GET A COPY OF THIS CLIP ON DISC OR EVEN TAPE?)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!

[bongstoner420]

shitt thats batman and the king

[lizardkinglarry]

This just shows how truly keen Adam West really is--here he was, sicker than a dog, and he showed up anyway, because he didnt want to disappoint the fans!!

[normand11]

lol wtf is this?

[sknyrd77]

This was probably January 1977 ('76 at earliest)Back in the 70's and into the 80's they had the "classic" car show at the Cook Convention Center every Jan.They usualy had a celebrity(Catherine Bach in '79) or even a Playboy playmate at the event-in addition to a "battle of the bands". FUN times!

[jpcfit]

I'd heard or read the same thing regarding West being ill. He had a high fever, was barely able to talk and nauseous. He showed up because he made the commitment and didn't want to disappoint anyone.

[clintbronson5]

And took a couple of SHOTS as well and I'm not talking in the arm :)

[fromtvandback]

pretty interesting. At times that did not sound like Adam West.

[theman081]

It's spelled "flu", from "influenza", dolts.

[Juiceoncereal]

ahahah comments box does not search! this video rules all the rulings tho

[Juiceoncereal]

jerry lawler superking

[Actionguy1]

Yes! I remember this! Early 70's! Adam West was in Memphis with the George Barris designed Batmobile from the "Batman" series.

He was NOT drunk!

This show aired on Saturday mornings (Adam had probably had a few the night before) and he was coming down with the flew! It was all he could do to get up out of bed that morning!

[signmanj]

This is SO great! NO one will EVER outdo the GREAT Adam West!

[sleepyboy99]

Bingo, TMJRedeyes!

[TMJRedeyes]

holy shit....was that jerry lawler?

[MoontideJM]

Adam isnt drunk, he's just not at ad-libbing. It IS Adam West

[mk1350]

omg - does Jerry the king go back that far!!!

[tleatherland]

Oh, the humanity!

[psychospeakempire]

If that is Adam West, he is really drunk!!

[KilroyDX]

Jerry "The King" Lawler the early days....too funny.

[psychospeakempire]

that is not Adam West. Ha!!!!

[lz477]

Actually, it is.  Dave Brown is the bomb!

[Actionguy1]

Yes! That was Adam West! He was in Memphis at the Cook Convention Center WITH the Batmobile!

I remember it well!

[CorbyTheJoker]

i cant belive any actor would do that....geez, he didnt evn wear the batsuit when hes batman!

i love Adam West as batman...i duno y, hes kinda cool despite the shittyness of the shows

[Unholyguardian]

Used your left and right turn indicator in your car?

[larsnord]

Christ, how long ago did Lawler start wrestling?

[torchkit]

Why is Batman lisping like a fag?

[robertrosati]

becuase Adam West was drunk when this interview took place

[torchkit]

Adam West turns queer when he drinks?

[virus20021]

No, only your daddy does that, bitch!

[Actionguy1]

Adam West was NOT drunk! He was coming down with the flew!

[virus20021]

stfu bitch

[russelldude]

Lawler looks like King Tut from the batman show.

[ah3133]

i remember on true hollywood story ( i think thats what it was ) adam west said that he often makes appearances at car shows alongside the batmobile, and for extra money he'll put on the costume.

[batmanpp]

Why does Adam West actually look pretty DAM fukn cool as Batman here??!! I always thot he was a fat and corny as Bats.This footage has a pretty good light on him. "Spiderbaby", thas funny

[virus20021]

That's because he IS pretty fukn cool, dude! His batman is THE definitive version! All others are cheap knock offs! ADAM WEST RULES!!!

[batmanpp]

Not even close sucker! The way West loox here is COMPLETELY different than the mockery show. Here he looks somewhat composed and even sleeker. And Keaton so far is the ultimate Batman. His eyes lookt dangerous, he actually lookt like a psycho but in total control. West aint frikn Batman, he's some kind of cowboy. West is space ghost or the lone ranger; entirely different characters from the Batman.

[catbird007]

funny stuff.....thx for posting

[spivzee]

I love how superking is so badass that he doesn't need to wear a mask. He'd fuck you up if you gave him any trouble.

[Cfurlong37]

Yeah Jerry Lawler Fuck yeah

[hogarthy]

Wasn't Memphis wrestling shown live at 11am? Was West up drinking all night, or was he drinking from the time he got up?

[sickoftheenvy]

what a drunk lol

[sithmasterbubba]

if i played batman and had to do a cameo at a wrestling event, i would love it!!!!!!!!!

[enrrwa]

haha! watta classic! lawler with a goatee

[123stoneman]

This from a Memphis boy with highly resorces: Jerry in his younger days did not have a full chin and had the Goat thing going on to add to his nature as a wrestler. Then a match took place that allowed him time off to have a chin implant done. Opon returning to the ring (6mos-1year)the goat was gone.

Believe it or not. Actionman1- only you will I reveal my resorces in confidence.

[countbloodula]

jerry lawler is definately the evil king

king is just ashamed deep down where he's from

and that he is a redneck

[lbjb247]

Priceless. "I heard about your box!" Quite clearly Mr. West had been to the bar before this was shot. Not that I blame him.

[JakeLL]

lol This was featured on a WrestleCrap article recently.

[GrevadosAsCid]

Super King has all the powers of a king!

Plus all the powers of Superman!

Also he's a robot!

Ain't it cool!

Super King, you rule!

[jerryjackstone]

my favorite part in this interview was when adam west mentions to jerry that he needs to change his wrestling methods AND

''used his left and right turn indicator in his car'' LMAO!!! xD

[jerryjackstone]

ADAM WEST is the real batman for us who loved the comic books

i feel that this interview was not well handled or not scripted... seems like anyone can come up with anything they want

but jerry lawler killed it

: P why the F*** was he on this show!!!

he's not even a true villain xD

[DA90027]

I'd have to be drunk to do this schtick! Poor Adam had to do this shit to pay the bills!

[countbloodula]

adam west has always been the real batman

christopher reeves the real superman

none compare

jerry lawler, well he's just a fat bitter redneck.

[therealfroggy]

George REEVES, Christopher REEVE!!!

[Babyfaceref]

not the last time Lawler was called naughty

[ZEROEVILDARKCOOL]

FUCK INFINITE CRISIS.

[Donnshin]

Hahahahaha!

[evanman420]

I concur..FUCK DAN DIDIO...

[Thrall138]

It's amazing how Lawler could keep a straight face during this interview.

LOL.

[speedydudecomics]

LOL jerry the king lawler from WWF/WWE

[CultofJ]

those were dark days for mr. West.

[7MGTESupraTurboA]

Adam West and Burt Ward are Batman and Robin, the best just like their Batmobile is THE best and their Catwomen were the best.

Holy comic book Universe mixups Batman, Spiderman is not part of DC Comics.

[colemckelvie]

thats not adam west, he has a lysp

[slivnok]

Color me amazed. Keep in mind, both were at the local Car Show.

[barnabasdark]

Adam West will always be the true Batman! Christian Bale's cool and all... but nobody kicks ass like Adam West! You go Mr. West! You go, Brother!!!

[drp1zza]

That was bizaree... total classic...

[celeanah]

When he said something about using your left and right turn signals, I almost spewed coke all over my computer screen

[6079]

wow. great clip!

[lefarce]

Modern day Batman would've just kicked him in the shins and got it over with.

Also, "Supe"? What the fuck?

[dalzilla]

WOW!

[mattkilleen]

Is this considered canonical?

[GMSpectre]

This is what Infinite Crisis should've been like.

[neandercarl]

Superking is an appropriate name, because Superkings are cigarettes, and Lawler does look like a fag

[phoenix45000]

Ha classic, proper crossover there

[Tragic2]

"And you arnt such a naughty, -mean- person."

[Zod79]

That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

[decinces63]

WHOA batman knows spideybaby...the universes have crossed over

[GiveEmTheAx]

"You are indeed the evil King of Memphis"

"I think its insulting to call them 'rednecks'"

L-O freakin L This is a gem!!!

[arkansoul]

"...if you used your left and right turn indicator in your car..." Funny as heck!!!

[ZaneRapture]

"I've heard about your box."

[RayNDeere]

I am surprised that Jerry didn't break character on that line. Obviously, Adam had a little too much "medicine" before coming on the air.

[sexxxwidow]

Holy Kingpin, it's Jerry "The King" Lawler! WITH Adam West!

[phatalbert73]

Only in Memphis

[sticko7]

Holy crap, that really is Adam West.

[tuttt99]

and sloshed to the gills, from the sound of his speech...
