[bowdryanthony]

austin wrestling there as stunning steve austin.



[rudolphcalypso]

Post more Rick Rude matches of this age

[lvw100]

@rudolphcalypso- he wasn't a face there for long; he went to the wwf soon after.

[pkslim71]

Picture the Brain helping Rude to the ic title vs the ultimate warrior. Rocky (Dwayne Johnson) miavia never wrestled in Memphis. And I doubt Austin did either

[GShea]

@pkslim71 The Rock & Austin both worked in Memphis.

[dencar84]

@pkslim71

idk about austin but I know for a fact the rock wrestled in memphis (uswa) as flex kavana, theres a couple of his matches here on YT.

[CombatSportFan]

That set up made Jimmy out to be the babyface. That's so weird.

[gothsoul82]

was rick rude a babyface in this?

[GShea]

@gothsoul82 Yep.

[gothsoul82]

@GShea thats rare that rude was a face what year was that?

[za22by]

this is great fun thanks for posting.

[ylwapple45]

The music at the very end of the clip goes very well with the red Converse sneakers Jimmy Hart was wearing. :-D

[kcphillyeagles]

Gotta love Memphis Wrestling. This I believe is from the old CWA. This became the USWA in the 90s. A really big hotspot for developing talent. Randy Savage, Rick Rude, The Rock, The Undertaker, and Steve Austin all got their careers goin in this very studio!

[cupomash]

Was this a feather weight contest. LOL

[BigOldJimmy]

Didn't Jimmy Hart become Rick Rude's manager later on?

[gluband]

@BigOldJimmy I don't think Rick Rude ever had a manager...but I could be wrong.

[jfromulus]

rude as a good guy wow old school before my time

[lvw100]

Dirty White Boys also wrestled under masks as The Grapplers.

[iloveblumpkin]

the mouth of south actually lasted that long against rick rude what a surprise

[stkwchr]

i remember seeing rude in bill watts mid south before he went to memphis when he spelled his last name roode

[drusifer1]

you gotta hand it to Rick Rude for not killing hart

[spayspay]

Thanks so much. I love old Memphis videos.

[okrabay]

Rick should have known better than to think Hart was not going to try to pull a fast one on him.

I cant believe he fell for it.

[T74G]

Rick rude....really high once again...

big time pothead...probably smoking the Panama red or Hawaii gold...

Rick Rude did a lot of interviews high!!!!!

[MuhammadHassanFan]

lol jimmys beard

[DavidFullam]

Only in Memphis could Jimmy Hart last that long against Rude.

[snoopyd80]

Wow, was that silly or what?

[Will87]

This must have been right before Jimmy Hart went to the WWF.

[SEMst500Blk]

Did the handcuffs actually break?

[fantamarry]

RAVISH ME WITH A KISS "RAVISHING" RICK

[ThomasSeanConnery007]

Jimmy Hart looks like Sylvester Stallone from this 1981 flick called nighthawks...or whatever this movie was called...

[BigGreen486]

R.I.P

Rick Rude

[charliestube1]

Which wrestling circuit was this? NWA, or WWF?

[banner74]

Neither,this was strictly the Memphis territory.

[robcas123]

the show itself was just called "championship wrestling"

[phi1166]

[MadisonCarter]

a.k.a. The Snowman

[kf8295]

Was Jimmy Hart really in The Gentry's?

[chuckgan]

[StanBennet]

Yes, keep on dancing.

[psyensou]

This is really good. Harts the king! and the audience. "its tar n feather time, yeah". 2bad i didnt see this back then. this is pure oldskool hahaha!

[Stucifer]

Classic! I remember watching this live.

[deathtollproductions]

who was dr. detroit?

[deathtollproductions]

wow, i forgot about this. it is really strange seeing rude as a face. i seen him yrs. back in georgia as a face but it was briefly. have any more vids of rude as a face?

[999xander999]

Jimmy was such a great manager! 1 of the best. Along with Bobby Heenan & Sensational Sherri. No one can touch these 3!

[thanhbites]

Jimmy is a bad ass!!!!!!

[sergrod1]

this was a classic, it was in the south not the wwf(WWE)

[funkyflashman]

Hate to be the one to clean the shower after that angle.

[Artas1984]

hilarious

[J4K31]

omg! woz dis WWF (championship wrestlig) coz it is shit!

[wtcvidman]

No. Rude was not in the WWF at this time. This was probably before Jimmy's time in the WWF too (unless he was in more than 1 organization). This looks like Memphis. Rude showed up in the WWF in 1987. Hart was definitely there by 1985. I think this video was when Rude was called the Smooth Operator and came out to Sade's song as his entrance music.

[sergrod1]

learn how to spell. how can you demostrate your ignorance.

[J4K31]

My p.c. misses out some letters >:( I keep on having to go back and change the words. By the way, you need to put capital letters at the beginning of sentences dumbass! ;)

[batistatriplew]

jimmy hart was cheating if this was a fair match ric rude would kick jimmy's ass

[NitroBurner]

So? It's good to see Jimmy Hart 'win' for once (since he's almost always a manager) at ringside).

[jerryleebrock]

only in memphis wrestling you could see hart kick rick rudes ass,and the dwbs kick lawler and valiant ass.lol i love this stuff lol

[Jwill8889]

gigity

[rudedog4b]

Not bad Jimmy.
