@wickedbuzzproduction Agree Mid-Atlantic was one of the best....however Memphis, yes the much maglined Memphis territory in 1982-1984...well nothing was better. Nothing in New York, Alanta, the Carolina's etc...Andy Kaufman vs Lawler, Jimmy Hart's First Family, Macho Man's rise to fame and the co...

Classic....the acying was superb. From 1:03-1:24 was especially hilarious. "Snowflakes"

@lockenjr no i did not thumbs down you.....I actually gave you a thumbs up.

Awful song for a wrestling video, but fun none the less. I always loved these Memphis videos. Highlights include matches with Eddie Gilbert, Jesse Venura, Ken Patera, Curt Henning, Bill Dundee (of course), Jim Neidhart, Ric Rude, King Kong Bundy, Lord Humungous. Thanks for posting, Lawler wrestle...

@donaldc5166 Lawler was a heel for most of his early career.....but he was "our" heel. Although he is booed in this match, he often got cheers, kind of an early anti-hero. His quest for the world title trumped his heel status in most cases. The fans wanted a local guy to win the title. His first ...

@Mp25DIII Mantel and Lawler wrestled several times, most notably and oddly enough on Great American Bash cards in Nashville and other Mid-Southern Arenea, with Martel as the heel

@WeNeedSomeGolfShoes Just goes to show you're unfamilier with the territories watch...the Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl of 1979...FIFTEEN years before ECW. Watch Randy Savage piledrive Rickey Morton through a table in Memphis back in I think 85...YES through the table.

And these "broken down" in...

He sold out Mid-South Collesium more than Elvis. Memphis wrestling was not a small one city promotion, they were all over Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. He held the AWA title and "beat" Kerry Von Eric at Superclash 3. His "empty" arena match with Funk was the blueprint ...

Look up "The Tupelo Concession stand brawl from 1975 and chant "ECW, ECW". Watch the video it is on YouTube. Harcore almost 20 years prior to the "birth of harcore".

@spinnernet1 First of all I respect your opinions, I should not have sounded so confrontational. Look the fact is that this is Pro Wrestling we are talking about. No one is under the belief that these guys are legit any longer. Absurdity, stupidity....they are part of the show. Giving Lawler a br...

@TetraRadon Becuase like it or not he does not habe the "it" factor. He needs a new schtick.

This is from the Greteatest Stras from the 80's DVD. Really good DVD although at times full of WWE revised history. For example they botched the timeline of Slaughter's career.

slaugter won this fued......check the books.

How could anyone dislike this video! A classic, truly fabulous. So Paul Heyman came up with Extreme Wrestling? What a joke. This walk through memory lane is a perfect reminder of the foundation of what built the industry...built on the blood of guys like Welch, Fuller, Lawler, Savage, Monroe, Toj...

@DXslilgangsta And posting statements like this is asanine.

@rlegear19 There is no doubt Ruth helped and in fact did wonders.....but do not discount the insane popularity of Walter Johnson and the 1924 Senators who captured the immagination of the country, and the mysterious "live ball" era which sprung to life just as it did in after the srtike shortened...

Where is Vandy over Pitt in 88?

@Dylanator7777 ....."retarded" wow look in the mirror champ.

@bigman10101 you are Hey your wrong, Preds made the Playoffs again.
