I remember going to the MidSouth Coliseum and watching these men sacrifice their bodies week after week. One storie I wished the told was the concessions brawl was the Tupelo Mississippi concessions brawl. Talk about mayhem!
Damn wrestling was so much different back then. Now I see why some people put 60s, 70s, and 80s wrestling above early to mid 90s wrestling, the attitude era and the ruthless aggression era.
Today's "heels" are lacking having a well intentionally designed heel look that rather unique to them. They're more concerned about looking more like a good looking model than a evil heel.
This was a great episode.Even though I wasn't around during those years,as a wrestling fan who was born in Louisville KY I know of the importance of the Memphis territory because of the legendary Tuesday night matches at the old Louisville Gardens.It's also where Jim Cornette got his start at as a young teenage photographer.
In other words, in an industry with fake fights that have predetermined outcomes, a single worthless piece of s*** was so scared to follow the plan, that he mutilated blinded and physically attacked another human being that had no intention of harming him. How the f*** do you expect us to gloss over that, and try to act like he was a victim?
Even in present day, I've seen matches that can get you emotionally evolved…. It's like watching a compelling movie. I'm sure it's much safer for the talent that the fans know they are watching a "show"………. but it does take some of the feeling from it.
DAM, Lawler is VERY Interested, In Everything @_@
Pretty Great. 👍
The Lawler/Kauffman feud was the first real shoot that people believed was real for decades
Wrestling territories are Mid
Tremendous, hopefully this keeps on rolling🤝
That brick throwing story from King is great
I wish Jim Cornette was in this round table
If you could just stay away from lawlers' "issues" is a nice way to put it…he really is a wrestling historian, champion of the territory days
It was never real lmaooo
Different vibe from DSOTR but I dig it! First episode was STELLER! Can't wait to see tonight's episode.
that randy story had me cackling
A wild slap nuts appears!

2:01 That looks like a crime scene of a dude murdered with his face ripped off like from “Silence of the Lambs” or like he was shot in the head
I grew up on this stuff….every Saturday morning!! Man I loved Memphis wrestling!! Jerry Lawler was my first favorite wrestler
I loved wrestling when you sort of "knew" but they made you believe. It was also so much more entertaining. Great show 👍
Should've called it "Terri-stories"….
ole bannana nose, lance russell was my favorite wrestling announcer of all time. LOL lawler gave him that name, but loved him to death.

BABY, THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW, BABY
BUT IT NEEDS HANDSOME JIMMY, BABY
THE PEOPLE WANT TO SEE HANDSOME JIMMY, BABY
HANDSOME JIMMY IS THE HOTTEST THING SINCE COCA-COLA, BABY
THE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE HANDSOME JIMMY, BABY
HANDSOME JIMMY IS THE HOTTEST THING SINCE STAR WARS, MAMA
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND PUT HANDSOME JIMMY IN THE MAIN EVENT, BABY

Gotta love the Macho Man story 😅
Footage of the guy getting run over was missing a better color commentator to exaggerate the car hitting. Jim Ross would've sold it perfectly.
Did THE KING say "Tiger Balm" or "Tiger Bomb"??
This was my childhood… Memphis wrestling! I love this!
and these guys were anti-ECW. lmao.
Lawler strap comes down saggy tips are shown
The old days territories were the best by far
Came for a chicken salad recipe.
Where is Jim cornette ???

"It's still real to me damnit"
Super cool stories wow eye for a razor blade

OMG, the blow dart and Jimmy Hart, wtf?!
Who does that? 🤣
Wish Superstar Bill Dundee was part of this round table
