It has been said a million times but WWE writers take note. This is creative and probably took no more than 2 or 3 people to create this. And this also proves why there needs to be managers in wrestling.
That was tastless but hilarious as hell. Wow Jo Le Duc one eye stretch tops the Rocks people's eyebrow. AWESOME!!!!! Hey!! like the music!! I like the Gap Band.
This is so funny if you've seen the Fabulous Ones videos from the same time period, they're pointing to each other's muscles and the jackets without shirts underneath really sold it for me.
Not really. No one came to the service because the fans didn't like anyone being a part of the First Family. So, having three members at the service made sense.
...and that last line from Jos Leduc:"Now get out of here"... absolutely chilling! He himself wasn't anybody to play with. Back in the late 1970s, he literally took a Blood Oath, and, at that time, swore to end Jerry Lawler's career. He took a sharpened axe, and drew it over the skin on his arm at least 3 times, and he definitely drew some Blood, when he did that. If some Wrestler tried a stunt like that nowadays, they'd probably be fined for it, to say the least!
Memphis Wrestling had all the creative angles when it came to writing and rivalries. Im glas I had a chance to watch it when I went to my grandparents for visits in the 80's
And of course.. good ol' Lance just RULED! His reactions to stuff such as this were all his own in the business, and lent a strong air of realism to all types of angles. Inarguably among the best ever.
Oh yeah, I remember the Jimmy Harts Bruise Brothers. Originally Norvell Austin & Porkchop Cash with "Dream Machine" Troy Graham later replacing Austin. And I remember Jos LeDuc too, that guy was a freakin' psycho!
Man, that LeDuc was/is on a level all his own; even for pro wrestling. Creeeeeeeppeee!!! Hart, as usual, was just great. He never did get a chance to display his all-around abilities as a heel manager and just overall wrestling personality during all his years with WWF, and especially not with WCW later on.
This show was hirlaious and sometimes bizarre at the same time. This was bizarre. Jimmy Hart said they were dead, went to a funeral home complete with a hearse and then a few minutes later the guys aren’t dead and are modeling tacky clothes to “You drop the bomb on me.” Bizarre.
The territory sure did get some use out of those suits, didn't they? Shortly after winning the AWA World Tag titles, Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee also wore them on TV.
my god, I remember watching this on tv, this was one of the funniest things in wrestling I had ever seen. this was great. too bad the creativity in wrestling has gone straight down the toilet. this is classic
How, or rather, why, he put up with Jerry "The King" Lawler calling him "Banana Nose", is beyond me! Ol' Lance could take a ribbing, though, as long as it didn't go too far. I remember the time, though, when Jimmy Hart came out, and dumped a Five Pound bag of Flour all over Lance Russell, though...and got suspended for it! I can't say for sure, but I think that that might've been around the time that he got the call to go to the Then-WWF. Jimmy Hart-What a card! The man's definitely a legend!
Did the Bruise Brothers ever actually wrestle as the New Fabulous Ones or was this just a one off comedy bit? It seems like having them play heel Fabulous Ones would have been a good idea to setup a feud when the original Fabs inevitably returned to Memphis.

I love how he has this "oh here he goes again" expression on his face as soon as Jimmy Hart talks about "a silver lining".
"I was glad to have the boys around here.
They were good boys."
I'm just glad they didn't have Chop and Dream in the bubblebath like they did Stan and Steve.
Lance's disappointment is priceless.
the Gap band is the shit..one of the best funk bands of all time!
Jimmy Hart troll was on point...Memphis Wrestling Rules.
That was tastless but hilarious as hell. Wow Jo Le Duc one eye stretch tops the Rocks people's eyebrow. AWESOME!!!!! Hey!! like the music!! I like the Gap Band.
Hasn't something like this happened before
This is so funny if you've seen the Fabulous Ones videos from the same time period, they're pointing to each other's muscles and the jackets without shirts underneath really sold it for me.
The minute you saw only three people at the service then you knew it was a work
Gree

Not really, it was a funeral on a tight budget, they buried both of them in a single casket, and the wake was held in a gradeschool auditorium.
The fact that we never know the cause of death gave it away as well.
one of the greatest videos ever. Cracks me up!
Jos Leduc is Classic here...."Did you ever Wonder..."...lol

Brilliant
It's so simple, why has that been forgotten?

Goddamn Jos LeDuc's little promo was fabulous.
I wonder how much Jerry Lawler was involved in the off screen of Memphis wrestling.
He and Jerry Jarrett divided up the booking duties. Each worked six months. You could tell who was booking pretty easily.
That was great.
And, then we got a surpise appearance of Hillbilly Jim at the very end.
Love the place is empty except 3 people
Only thing that would have made it funnier would be for Porkchop and Dream to have bleached their hair blond.
WHAT HAIR!? Porkchop looked at least 52 and Graham's hair was thin

Back when wrestling was entertaining.
Greatest day of my life!
One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Porkchops face gets me every time! @JobberJacket84
Porkchop Cash and Dream Machine.
That was Harley Davidson at the end, aka Hillbilly Jim.
Jos was a hell of a scary dude! RIP

Jerry spent $100 on them - he's getting his money's worth!

World olds Boy Scout Lance Russell

7:01 Harley Davidson later known as Hillbilly Jim delivers a back elbow in the bumper
@dalegrow

That look slike Hillbilly Jim in the Slo Mo bumper going into the break at the end of the segment
Yep. He worked in Memphis as either Big Jim or "Harley Davidson" before moving up to the WWF.
This is what Memphis Rasslin' was all about...!!!
