Enjoyed watching a classic episode of Memphis wrestling from 1985 Saturday night. The 9-7-85 episode to be exact. It was the 90-minute version of the live Memphis show with original commercials!
Jerry Lawler, The Freebirds, Jerry Jarrett, Tojo Yomomato, Koko Ware, and many others.
Memphis wrestling has such a long history to it. Enough for multiple books. I got hooked on Memphis wrestling in 1986 as part of Joe Pedicino's Superstars of Wrestling show on WATL in Atlanta. It aired at midnight and it was also the wildest of any of the shows they aired (which when you consider they aired the UWF, Continental, Puerto Ric, etc.) then that's saying something.
Through the power of the wrestling tape (now DVD) trading network, most shows from the 1980s and 90s are available and even some from the 1970s. I am Facebook friend with Jerry Jarrett and enjoy reading his posts on the wrestling business - then and now.
