The first time Austin said "Lance Russell", the auto-captions said "Lazarus". Then during the match, Lance says "beat Norvell" and the auto-captions said "be sore".
WWE...take note...THIS is how you make an entertaining wrestling show. This is 10 times funnier than any of the forced toilet humor that Vince/Triple H & company lobs at us every week. This is just flat out brilliant booking. Even TV script writers could learn a thing or two from this. Genius.
as an old and avid memphis wrestling fan there was no one like lance he could tell a story and he would get involved with the storyline and he had such great passion for the buisness.
Those are some pretty stacked odds, Steve. I can't think of many one-on-one for the tag titles matches that didn't end with the champs losing. This event leads to a madlib of wrestling history, with this being the original Midnight Express getting the titles, then the titles being held up so there is a tag tournament that sees Bobby Eaton and Sweet Brown Sugar defeating Robert Gibson and Stan Lane. The future Midnight Express and one half of the Rock'n'Roll Express along with Koko B. Ware.
Joe Newberry And 95 percent of the time, belts don't change hands on a disqualification. And most of the time the referees warn about using fists, but never do anything about it.
Finally...someone with a criticism of Lance Russell. What a great description of Russell "like someone's dad." I don't think he's bad, and he's good for this promotion, but I'm always stunned some think he's better than Gordon Solie.
I am from Memphis and always followed the wrestling close. I never heard of a legit encounter between Koko and Steve Keirn. That does not mean it did not happen.
This is Norvell Austin against Steve Keirn. Norvell Austin as a helluva professional wrestler. Had the street thing down and was definitely a Pro Wrestler!! He had been around for quite awhile and got his big break from Sputnik Monroe!!!
Lance Russell is no Gordon Solie. Lance is always getting involved, and never lets a wrestler do interview without cutting in. "Stop in Steve. Cut it out Bill. Don't do that Jerry." Sounds too much like a dad. Memphis was a good territory, but Lance made it hard too watch sometimes.
Lance was 10 times better than Gordon. Gordon had a stutter streak so long, probably shouldn't have been an announcer. Least Lance was smooth always could say something without stutter. Dave Brown was better as well.

Pork chop Cash and the Dream Machine Troy Graham as the Bruise Brothers

This should serve as a life lesson for many. Losing one's cool rarely works out. And life will spit in your face every chance it gets.
in this area you had the rock n roll, The original midnight express and The Fabs all at one time but on diffrent teams. Good ole memphis wrestling.

where can I find a guy like steve keirn............absolutely beautiful.........
a gay bar!
What a great little angle! A new one on me.
You really do a great job with Memphis wrestling. I didn't get to see much of it then and mostly saw Georgia and Mid Atlantic.
This was February 22nd 1982.

anyone remember Norvell Austin( The Black Panther) and Sputnik Monroe Vs The Interns w/ Dr Ken Ramey?
Ronnie Spence. Freezer Thompson TD Steele, and the best of all the singing cowboy Don Bass AKA The Rock n Roll Fantom
Eddie Marlin was always sticking his nose in stuff.
I use to like when the Gilbert's beat him up.
Two very good Workers! Both of them were great tag team and singles wrestlers!

great stuff GShea... Thank you for your continued efforts....
Lance sold storylines better, and FINALLY... someone acknowledges DAVE BROWN. Those guys worked well together.
I'm stunned when someone suggests otherwise - Lance was THE BEST.
I love kerin, hes one of my trainers, and the man!~
this is too funny, never seen this one

Gordon was terrible
Didn't Keirn get his ass kicked legit by Koko B. Ware?

The WWE just used this last month with Christian and Randy Orton. Wow!
