When Lance moved over to the WCW he worked with many wrestlers who had passed through Memphis. But that didn't guarentee him any respect as this clip demonstrates. | |  |
Disrespect is a way of life for the wrestling commentator and Lance is not immune from the slings and arrows of wrestling heals. | |
|
| |  |
Even Lance, with his years of taking wrestler abuse, has his breaking point and the time came when he couldn't take it anymore and had to end the interview. | |  |
And while we're on the subject of disrespect, anyone who saw it will probably never forget the day Lance tried to play peacemaker between Andy Kaufman and Jimmy Hart. | |
|
| |  |
One of Andy Kaufman's favorite things to do when he felt he'd been wronged was to play the Hollywood card - "Baby." Watch Lance's expression as Kaufman gets going. | |  |
One of Jerry Lawlwer's favorite things to do was to make sure that Andy Kaufman understood that there's a world of difference between wrestling women and wrestling "The King" | |
|
| |  |
When it came to real men wrestling each other, Jerry Lawler and Austin Idol never disappointed the fans. Their series of bouts leading up to the famous "hair vs hair cage match" are legendary. | |  |
In this clip, Jerry Lawler has had enough and turns the tables on Austin Idol. But just when it looks like it's cryin' time for Austin, manager Paul E. Dangeroulsy pulls an ace from his sleeve in the form of a "Wildfire" | |
|
| |  |
Idol, Rich and Dangerously weren't the only tricky ones to enter the ring. Listen to how Lance sets up what's about to come in this clip from the Lawler-Idol "Chain Match" | |  |
And what did Jerry Lawler have to say about his use of a chain to win the "Chain Match"? You fans of old school Memphis wrestling won't be surprised a bit. | |
|
| |  |
Earlier on this page is a studio fight between Andy Kaufman and Jimmy Hart. They disagreed with each other about events of the previous Monday night's match. Here's PART 1 of that controversial bout. | |  |
Here's PART 2 of the match that started the dispute between Andy Kaufman and Jimmy Hart. Watch Jimmy when the going gets tough. He has no compulsion what-so-ever about using Andy to buy a little time for himself. | |
|
| |  |
In this vintage clip Jos Leduc pits his strength against 10 members of the audience. That's promoter Eddie Marlin in the blue and white striped shirt. Lance, doing the voice over announcing, explains the object of this tug-o-war. | |  |
This is the continuation of the earlier Andy Kaufman clip in which he and Jimmy Hart get into a fight on the Saturday televison show. Lance, Dave Brown and Eddie Marlin all do their best to contain the situation. | |
|
| |  |
This may well have been the very first appearance of "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the Saturday Memphis wrestling program. And from the looks of it, Dave Brown is not too pleased with the Macho Man's performance. | |  |
An LR.com fan from Kentucky wondered if we had any Kentucky footage. The quick answer is no, sorry we don't. But we did find this promo. I f anyone has any video from Kentucky how about making us a dub. | |
|
| |  |
Since he's the poster boy for our "Videos" section, it seems only fitting that in this first-in-a-series of interview videos, Lance should talk a little about the late Tojo Yamamoto. | |  |
This had to have hurt. Jerry Lawler and Eddie Gilbert "took it outside" during one of the Saturday shows at WMC in Memphis. Not sure who owned the car but it was in the wrong place at the wrong time. | |
|
| |  |
Not too many wrestlers achieved the sort of national acclaim that the great Gorgeous George commanded. In this clip, Lance talks about the first time he sat down with George Wagner. | |  |
We hope the size of this video doesn't cause too long of a download time for you. Out of the Vault and into LR.com. Here's some of the story of Jimmy Hart and his tag teams. | |
|
| |  |
Jim Cornette is first and foremost a wrestling fan with a great collection of wrestling memorabilia. I guess it's safe to say he's a guy who lived the dream when he became one of those classic Memphis wrestling managers that people loved to hate. | |  |
When it came to Memphis Wrestling, there was never a shortage of imagination. In this installment of "Opening the Vault" Lance and Corey discuss some of the Memphis territories "Unusual Matches" | |
|
| |  |
You had to know that Jimmy Hart and a bag of flour was not a good combination. And as quick as you could say "Look out Lance" Jimmy did the expected. | |  |
Jerry Lawler's first appearance on the David Letterman Show was a memorable one, especially for Andy Kaufman. You Memphis Wrestling fans have probably seen this many times but it's worth viewing one more time. | |
|
| |  |
It wasn't the Lone Ranger that made that "cloud of dust". It was Jimmy Hart. Look for the very quick cameo by "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert in this clip. | |  |
"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert was a tough-as-nails, crowd pleaser who left the wrestling scene far too young. This clip is a great example of the phrase pull no punches. It's a bit large and may take a while to download. | |
|
| |  |
Bobby Eaton was one of the first members of Jimmy Hart's First Family but when threatened by the Moondogs Jimmy showed just how much "Family" ment to him. | |  |
In this interview clip Austin Idol waxes eloquently on everything from the Rolling Stones to the state of ethical behavior in retail business. | |
|
| |  |
It must be gratifying for a wrestler with talent to work with another equally talented wrestler. Watch how Austin Idol sells this moment with Jerry Lawler. And Jerry Calhoun doesn't do such a bad job himself. | |  |
Lance's experience at ringside taught him well. In this clip Lance, cool as ever, demonstrates how to get out of the way, do a little housekeeping and hardly miss a beat in the process. | |
|
| |  |
PYT vs The Fabs. Referee Jerry Calhoun gets distracted, Steve Keirn thinks quick, Norvell Austin gets fooled and the crowd goes wild. | |  |
Lawler, Dundee, Gilbert, Anthony, Missy Hyatt, two baseball bats and a gorilla...sounds like a typical day for Memhis Wrestling. Dave Brown does the announcing honors. | |
|
| |  |
Our buddy Howard Baum sent us a video that had this short clip of "The Fabulous One" in action. It's not the best example of Jackie Fargo's style but it'll have to do. | |  |
Did Lance know what was coming? Seems "The Dream Machine" was offended by a music video that used the one hit wonder song by Dallas Fraizer "Alley Oop". | |
