      Smart Booker who knew the business. The Memphis style really appealed to fans in that area and era. AEW is praised for drawing 10,000 fans today, which was a normal Monday in Memphis.

    Business in Memphis got so bad after he lost the loser leave town to Dundee that they broke it and Lawler had to come back in 86 I believe but Memphis was such a great wrestling territory im not sure but Jarrett going to Texas and merging with world-class could that be what killed his territory?

    • @actionsub
      @actionsub 5 місяців тому

      There were a lot of moving parts to what went on in 1986. Crockett's monopoly over booking Ric Flair for World title matches led to Jarrett pulling out of the NWA and aligning the territory with the AWA in '86.
      At that point, Memphis was probably in a little better shape business wise than the AWA, and Verne started talking merger in 1988. When that didn't fly, then Jarrett started talking with the rapidly declining World Class. Jarrett still held the better hand in his dealings with the Von Erichs, though Kevin pulled out of the USWA deal and tried suing Jarrett and Lawler.
      It's important to remember that when Vince McMahon was looking at possible prison time for the steroid thing in 1993, he was looking to Jerry Jarrett to run the WWF in the interim.
      Ironically, what killed Memphis wasn't the expansion attempts. It was the Monday Night cable wars in the late 90s. Attendance at the Monday night cards at Mid-South Coliseum, which was a weekly tradition in Memphis, declined sharply. At that stage, their cooperation with the WWF as a developmental territory kept Memphis wrestling, be it Power Pro or MCW, running until around 2001 at which time they threw in the towel. Jeff Jarrett was wrestling for WCW by that time, having parted company with the WWF on amicable terms.
      When WCW went out of business, both Jerry and Jeff turned their attention to the formation of TNA.

    Back when wrestling was wrestling. I can't watch WWE & AEW today because its so boring and pathetic. All we see is roided up kids basically. No more like Joe Leduke (sp?) Or dusty Rhodes types with great energy. No today we get young kids that all try to act alike and just aren't believable. Then you have women's matches and 90% of the time they mk everything look so fake. Some is ok but today there's waaaay too much for my tastes. Tks away from the wrestlers we want to see. Now idc what they do. I stopped watching over 6 yrs ago. Hell Vince don't care so why should I? Haha. What I said about the women's matches has absolutely NOTHING to do with sex....but everything to do with how they make things look during the matches. Now the attitude Era was great! Perfect how they did it. Just the rt amount of matches. All I know is today i miss the old Memphis days and the Atlanta days as well as the Florida days. (That should tell ya which end of the country im on. Haha) The small tv studio matches. Arenas get boring. Its not as in your face as studios were. I speak for myself of course....just sad how bad wrestling has gotten over the years. For me when WWE stopped being WWF.....thats when the beginning of the end started. It steadily went down hill.
