Jarrett/Lawler were light years ahead of other territories in marketing their stars. Lawler was portrayed as clearly superior to the competition here as he was visibly defeating their stars with ease. This one gives me chills, fellas. Long live The King!
Hey jerry lawler this odell one of your biggest fan am from Memphis tn i be watching you on UA-cam on all the video you is a excellent wrestler of the world one day i would like to meet you soon you been an excellent wrestler every since i grew up since i was a kid you Jeff Jarrett and Bill Dundee i would like meet you soon if it ok with you from odell Johnson from Memphis
I know it's Memphis. What I'm saying is this is Memphis taking a shot at WWF in 1984. Notice Lawler is beating Hogan, Iron Shiek, Patera, Ventura, and Kamala. Evreyone one of those guys were wrestling for WWF/E around this time.
Memphis did a great job with getting over talent with their music videos, the Fabulous Ones being one example. They were over before their first match as a team thanks to their music videos.
Also: Jerry should have been given one final run and retirement match by WWE. Obviously his last match should have been in Memphis, naturally. Because WWE owns so many libraries with Lawler matches, they could have put together a video montage like this one of his old days to show the younger fans how insanely over he was in Tennessee during the Territory days and how important he was to wrestling overall.
Yep, that's promotion 101- no matter what promote your promotion as #1. It suggests all those guys are nothing cause they couldn't beat the King and had to run to New york.
Back in the territory days jerry lawler was one of the best

This is badass! Wish this could be remastered in HD. Great song and the clips just work for the pace of the song!

love you ❤️ Jerry baby My warrior in the Ring
When you're Jim Cornette's all time favorite wrestler you know you were good.
Classic Jerry King Lawler favorite all time.
Wow! The electricity that used to be in the Coliseum in those days. Seeing it empty and abandoned makes me sad.
I like Jerry Lawler, but man it's ridiculous the number of huge names he booked himself to beat....😂
Awesome!!!!!! Takes me right back to the 80's and Georgia Championship Wrestling. Thanks a bunch Robb!
Love the slap to hulks face
Praying you make a full recovery Jerry
That is our Memphis Lawler. I can't call him King. There is one true King & he walked on water!
AMEN BROTHER AMEN

This was a clearly a shot at the WWF
in 1984.

Jerry lawler promo for him coming to contential wrestling
Yeah, It seemed like they showed that video every week on Continental along with the Jeff Jarrett one.
Good call Ninja I noticed that also
I wonder if the people behind Netflix's GLOW saw this video and chose the theme song because of it
