The Bruise Brothers' funeral

[tajjtcw]

fantastic

[SkullBugsy]

I find it odd that Jos LeDuc had the same look as Mad Dog Vachon.

[SkullBugsy]

There was two Bruise Brothers but only one casket?, um okay.

[SkullBugsy]

I know this was a Story line, but it's never funny to make up a death/ deaths or to make fun of death in pro wrestling or any where in life, after all look what has happen in pro wrestling with all the greats we have lost.

[patvilhauer]

this kicks ass.

[patvilhauer]

This really is awesome....I love Lance Russell.

[lvw100]

@FerretJohn- I thought the original Burise Bros were Porkchop Cash and Mad Dog

[wessydde]

lol 1984 high rate entertainment lol

[BGRASSCAT]

Memphis wresting was always the best.



[TomasTigre]

This is so funny if you've seen the Fabulous Ones videos from the same time period, they're pointing to each other's muscles and the jackets without shirts underneath really sold it for me.

[RevDarkehorse]

CLASSIC!!!!!

[dalegrow]

That look slike Hillbilly Jim in the Slo Mo bumper going into the break at the end of the segment

[ztjam01]

@dalegrow

that was hillbilly Jim

[FerretJohn]

Oh yeah, I remember the Jimmy Harts Bruise Brothers. Originally Norvell Austin & Porkchop Cash with "Dream Machine" Troy Graham later replacing Austin. And I remember Jos LeDuc too, that guy was a freakin' psycho!

[gonzoidal]

The best team to wrestle as the "Bruise Brothers" were twin brothers name Ron and Don Harris. They didn't wrestle in Memphis very long. It never looked convincing when they lost a match to another team because they were so much bigger, faster, and physical than anyone else.

[megaman2160]

who is the bruise brother's

[MarsNova]

They were a really-forgettable tag-team based in Memphis around this time. They always bored me.

[MorbidCovenant666]

I love it! Man, Graham could cut a promo, too. Hey, I don't know what's funnier, this spoof of a Fabulous Ones music vid, or the real Fabulous Ones vids. lol.

[animeheather78]

RIP TROY GRAHAM

[songoku350]

Jeff Jarrett so ripped off this angle when him, Abyss, AMW and Team Canada had a "funeral" for Team 3D in 05 in TNA.

[f1racer]

Porkchop Cash is so pimp lol

[fastmoverinbound]

is the black guy the former junk yard dog

[jakenstein77]

Nope. His name is Pork Chop Cash.

[nwajoe]

Did the Bruise Brothers ever actually wrestle as the New Fabulous Ones or was this just a one off comedy bit? It seems like having them play heel Fabulous Ones would have been a good idea to setup a feud when the original Fabs inevitably returned to Memphis.

[rolochoshu]

They did wrestle as the New Fabs. Bart/Mark Batten replaced Dream Machine in the team after Dream's car accident.

[Andrew271980A]

@nwajoe I believe they also did have a feud with the Fabs but I think it was the Eddie Gilbert/Tommy Rich Fabs though

[kirkwanglers32]

Iam non plussed.

[wwetnasux]

Cash was money

[chuckgan]

That was Harley Davidson at the end, aka Hillbilly Jim.

[yaiknowscrewme]

Nice eye

[brockdanger76]

Memphis Wrestling had all the creative angles when it came to writing and rivalries. Im glas I had a chance to watch it when I went to my grandparents for visits in the 80's

[nwauwf]

me i used to go to cleveland missisippi from nyc

[thefriendsociety]

how did you go by horse?

[nwauwf]

lol it felt likwe those long ass car rides! i would stay for the summer

[misterio2K]

That was tastless but hilarious as hell. Wow Jo Le Duc one eye stretch tops the Rocks people's eyebrow. AWESOME!!!!! Hey!! like the music!! I like the Gap Band.

[lawlersarmy]

The way I remember it, This video aired live the week after David Von Erich's real life funeral video aired on Memphis TV. At age 12 or 13, I still rember thinking it was very tacky timing. Still a great old post, and wrestling immitating life.

[Abyono]

And of course.. good ol' Lance just RULED! His reactions to stuff such as this were all his own in the business, and lent a strong air of realism to all types of angles. Inarguably among the best ever.

[GMSpectre]

I love how he has this "oh here he goes again" expression on his face as soon as Jimmy Hart talks about "a silver lining".

[Abyono]

Man, that LeDuc was/is on a level all his own; even for pro wrestling. Creeeeeeeppeee!!! Hart, as usual, was just great. He never did get a chance to display his all-around abilities as a heel manager and just overall wrestling personality during all his years with WWF, and especially not with WCW later on.

[lawlersarmy]

I got to see his last match in Memphis in '95 or '96 at a Monday Night Memories event, and he still SCARED THE HELL out of me as an adult!! He hit Phil Hickerson in the head with the ring bell (looked to be about 50 pounds) and I thought he had killed poor Phil (and they were partners that night!!).

[Geaux1mb]

Memphis was simply the best of the old territories. No other territory could touch Memphis in terms of creativity and the wrestlers that were there. I miss this stuff!

[zaius316]

You sure as hell could not run a clip like that today.

Although, Vince did do an angle with Big Show's "dad".

[derekstellar]

oh lord do I love Memphis wrestling!

[skunkypilot]

Wasn't the Dream Machine one of the Bruise Brothers once?

[skunkypilot]

O.K. Troy Graham. That's what I get for posting before the video was over. I also thought it was in bad taste until the new Fabs were introduced.

[arkansoul]

This is what Memphis Rasslin' was all about...!!!

[ski198605]

funny shit.lol gap band

[SlimmArmstrong]

the Gap band is the shit..one of the best funk bands of all time!

[bluesky8921]

"I was glad to have the boys around here.

They were good boys."

[wrsltnmusclefan]

So that's Porkchop Cash and who's his partner?? Did they have that gimmick long?

[ElWicky]

one of the greatest videos ever. Cracks me up!

[TheRealMooke]

damn that was hilarious

[spayspay]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mgfanjpeep]

Goddamn Jos LeDuc's little promo was fabulous.

[krushvelvet67]

LOL!!! Have you ever...wondered when your time was coming???

[rifperry]

Lacked the homo-eroticism of the original Fabs, but hilarious nonetheless. Jimmy Hart, as always, is a classic with the "Today is the greatest day of my life!" bit that seemed to open every Memphis promo he did.

[FLAIR4PREZ]

-This is kind of spooky and ironic as Troy Graham would go on to pass away in the late 90's

[DynastyPoker]

That was great.

And, then we got a surpise appearance of Hillbilly Jim at the very end.

[salanh]

Jos LeDuc should be at every memorial service. Jimmy got through all five stages of grieving rather quickly. That was rather funny. Thanks.
