thanks for putting this all together i used to watch this every saturday morning it was the greatest wrestling show ever and i mean ever u have put hundreds of great segments on thanks again
Yes, Lance Russell is alive and well living in Florida. He is 82 yrs. old and voice sounds the same. Now and then he'll come back to Memphis for a memorial show and he's always a star here.
This is so cool thank you for posting this classic stuff. Great for me as well as I grew up on Stampede Wrestling in Canada. Not long after this Wayne Ferris, Danny Davis and Ken Wayne all went up to Stampede off and on for a couple of years. The Nightmares were together up there under the name the Tennessee Studs. Danny Davis stuck around for a while afterwards as a singles wrestler.
It would be affirmative. The problem is all the guys that are out there that can work on the indys, most of them have been watching wrestling since the attitude era. They think that is how you work a crowd. They don't get it. One reason I quit doing anything with indy promotions is because the guys just wont watch anything unless its current product and they emulate that. Its sad.
Wouldn't Memphis Wrestling look good in today's world for pro wrestling starved fans who are sick of the sports entertainment image they spoon fed on mainstream television? I hope it's an affirmative answer.
Yes it would. Sports entertainment has grown boring. This was great because back then you didn't know what was going to happen. Interviews weren't scripted they just let people talk an improvised.
This was the stuff before the WWF took over, I got up every Sunday for this as a kid
remember this like it was yesterday...i was 18 years old when i saw this in memphis.....Precious memories
Memphis was crazy and an innovator in wrestling action for TV
@Soulgrenade The sound of that old rasslin' bell was music to our ears back then...
Got us up Saturday mornings jack
Dundee was barely taller than the ropes.
Danny Davis is the greatest manager and wrestler all time

I think this is actually 1979. By 1980 Jimmy Hart was the top heel manager
I love hearing lance russell talk and commentate a match
I love that music going into the break.
I was 50 miles down the road from Memphis that day, at the ripe age of 7 days old. Lol
Yup.
No wonder they named an entire arena after Danny Davis. Tougher than a brick shithouse
Damn. Bill Dundee was working really stiff with Danny Davis.
damn dundees throwing some spuds on poor danny davis this is classic.
Thanks a lot!
What did Jerry Jarrett weigh, about 160 pounds???
This was before Danny Davis form the Nightmares? I'm from Louisiana so we
didn't Southeastern here, is why I'm
curious about it.
These guys gave 100 percent. .real wrestlers. .took lumps
@Soulgrenade Back then, you had guys who loved rasslin'. Of course they needed the money, but the sport came first. Great action...
did any one realize ''dangerous'' danny davis was a bit muscular ref in wwf....... BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN AROUND!!!!
THEY ARE the same fella.
"...but, Jerry Jerrett, I don't like to be booked there. and he made me go anyway." Gotta love Wayne 'Honkytonk Man' Ferris.
