    3:37 - Awesome reaction from Lance, he sold that incredible segment so well. I'm sure a bunch of people watching at home thought it was fake and funny, but once they saw Lance's reaction they realized it was no joke and Leduc legit cut his arm right there and then. Fantastic way to sell a match.

    He was a great Babyface but when he turned Heel he was scary as Hell.

    Memphis Wrestling was ahead of its time. Leduc cutting himself with that axe was considered hardcore at that time.

      Shit, by today's super PG standards, that shit is hardcore. Joe Leduc was terrifying, lol.

      U ever flip through a pwi magazine from back in the 70s and 80s? Hardcore has been around for a long ass time, it just didn't have a name back then. U couldn't flip through any of those magazines without seeing tons of bloody pictures.

    That's intense and disturbing. There are kids in the audience and the guys slicing open his arms with an axe. No wonder the camera man didn't zoom in.

      Yeah, it really IS quite disturbing and graphic - ESPECIALLY for something broadcast in the LATE '70S! But enjoyable, nevertheless...

      85futureshock as crazy as Jos Leduc was he was 10 times the wrestler that a current czw "wrestler" could ever be, they cut themselves about thousand times more, and wrestle in front of tiny crowds for no money. Yes, Jos was a legend...

    We moved to Southaven MS (suburb of Memphis) about a week or two after this happened and I was about 10 or 12 years old and did not watch wrestling. But my family dropped off the first load and went back about an hour to get the second load and when we got back our yard ( in SH ) and the front of our street was full of kids because my dad looked just like Joe LaDuc...
