The commericals make this video even better love the old days of my youth lol

Yes, I'm watching a TV show from 1986, and haven't even considered clicking away and turning on today's television programs. Is there something wrong with me? The Memphis commercials are very entertaining, as I see businesses that no longer exist, and some that do. What a different world it was then.

That appliance sale ends this Sunday folks, don't miss out. How I miss thee!

Joe leduc was a hell of a man

A 90 minute Memphis area version of CWA Championship Wrestling is more memorable than most of Raw and AEW TV

Tony Falk = owner of one of the longest losing streaks in the history of wrestling in Memphis.

The commercial at 3:18. Those "Wide Load" commercials with John McCormack. Listened to him on Rock 103 for around 15 years when I worked in Memphis. RIP Bad Dog.

"Let me tell you something."

I grew up watchin tv 5 wrestling and to me its what wrestling is posed to and always be

dutch mantell, in his interview gear, looks like he's in the olivia newton-john music video LET'S GET PHYSICAL. but it works for me!!!!

That dirty Rhodes segment was real good, heart 😢warming. He also plays a mean guitar 🎸

Work or not, Joe LeDuc was one scary guy. I'll never forget him slicing his arm open with the axe.

This stuff is classic.i wish this aired in nyc back in the day,i've only read about the action from memphis & saw some of it on pro wrestling this week or pro wrestling usa but it was awesome.

Memphis was great back then, and it still is. If I had a DeLorean time machine, I would love to travel back in time to see those good old days of the 1980s.

Austin Idol and Joe Leduc terrified me for the King everytime they rolled into the territory!

I fucking love Jos Leduc...his eyes are amazing to watch...when they are slitted and glaring they look like they are moving around slightly in his face, when they are wide and angry they look like they're going to pop out of his head...crazy eyes...

Would love to back....no cell phones, comp, etc. Technology isn't always better.

I remember my grandmother watching this and when Dundee slapped Lance she completely lost her shit lol she was in love with Lance.

March 24, 1986 in Memphis, TN Mid-South Coliseum drawing??? 1. Frank Morrell beat Keith Eric 2. Jos LeDuc beat David Haskins & Jim Jamieson in a “handicap match.” 3. Paul Diamond & Michael Lee beat Tony Falk & Pat Rose when Diamond pinned Falk. 4. Billy Joe Travis beat Abdul Gaddafi to win the CWA International Title. 5. Billy Joe Travis & Frank Morrell beat The MOD Squad via DQ. 6. Jerry Lawler & Dutch Mantel beat Bill Dundee & Buddy Landel (48:57) in 26 falls in a “Texas death” match.

To today's wrestlers - At 45:18 - That's how you generate heat!!!!

Great angle to create heat, love the Falk match

Paul Diamond later teamed with fellow wrestler Pat Tanaka and became a tag team, “Badd Company.”

What a disappointment BUDDY LANDELL ended up being in his prime, by his own admitted addictions. First, if some of you never saw LANDELLS promo shoot for his and Shawn Michaels match in Smokey Mountain WRESTLING for Michaels WWF Title or INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE, I'm hazy on which it was. But as I learned of BUDDY'S death 7 or so years ago I ran across that promo shoot for that match and honestly it was one of the greatest, honest and from the heart shoots I've ever seen. Some say just the angle he chose, others said it was no wrestling shoot promo whatsoever, and for a few minutes I was searching for the onions I had been cutting up but never found. He was genuinely being a man dealing with his DEMONS in his life through the previous few years before that moment, and looked finally like he had overcome his problems as he looked better physically than I've ever seen him. In early to MID 80s I saw him, as many others also did, as a joke of a character. That changed one night as the promotion in which he wrestled for came to my hometown of SALE CREEK TENNESSEE to do a few fundraising house shows for what I can't recall. Promotion company I can't remember, maybe AWA or UWF not sure, don't matter either way. Anyway, LANDELL and TENNESSEE VOL ALUMNI DOUG FURNACE were working together in a FEUD in which LANDELL had a broken forearm down to his wrist that FURNACE was I do believe was the culprit in which LANDELL had to wear that black brace, of course loaded with foreign objects to use as a weapon. But when I WITNESSED the talent that BUDDY had as a serious worker of the trade I became a fan of his and saw him as a TRUE up and coming Champion of some sort, somewhere if just only he would get into better condition physically. As I dug deeper into his life and career choice I was shocked that in THE NWA at the time MR RIC FLAIR was so impressed with LANDELLS skills and perfect work in the ring that FLAIR told BUDDY that he himself was going to lose THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP and let LANDELL start his Star status in the SPORT, WOW and WOW! But before their angle began, BUDDY revisited his past DEMONS and it was over as a TRUE WORKER with great talent and in RING performer self admittedely pissed it all away. And with another GREAT REDEMPTION STORY with Michaels around 5 to 10 years later came about he did that emotional promo shoot with I could tell it was a true confession of his failures and physically was in great shape. And as Jim Cornette stood by his side in the shoot blabbing and babbling in his usual ways, LANDELL promised his utmost RESPECT and PROMISED that the Match was going to be fair and square and turned to Cornette and warned him in a stern professional and honest truth that Cornette either abide or he would not be at his side. Of course the winner had already been determined, but what a freaking match! And in the end it came down to LANDELL being disqualified from Cornettes interference, but not?! Just watch it and know that BUDDY LANDELL in my heart was the greatest wrestling story never told. RESPECT.

Great memories of me wrestling

Buddy landel was the equate version of ric flair

The Monday night (03-24-1986) show at the Mid-South Coliseum after the Saturday TV show in this video was the final sell out that Memphis Wrestling ever had! The Texas Tornado match went 26 falls with Lawler & Mantell winning

Lance said AINT nobody running him off the show

Almost swear that is Steve Guttenberg in the Taco Bell commercial!😂🌮🎤🤼‍♂️B.W.

never knew LeDuc had a sense of humor

45:17. That was awesome! I wish more people would do that. Your a ring announcer, not color. Couldn't stand how biased Lance was. Not to mention monotone.

Whats the difference in the WMC version and say Evansville? is the WMC version longer or is it just the promos for house shows that are different?

1:25:37 - Dodge Country

Damn, is that Taco Bell offer still good? Lol

1:24:36 - SOUTHLAND GREYHOUND PARK

Are you in the town of Memphis right now??????Howard Youngblood from Augusta Georgia is just asking Monday March 24 mid South Carolina

Lance...he warned you twice

Too many matches of super "studs"vs.super"spuds"

Garman and Trailer look a lot like the Masked tag team called Rough and Ready.

Lance Russell never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

46:34...9.9% interest rate means low, low monthly payments😳😳😳

1:11:14 - FLEMING FINE FURNITURE

Lance Russell got buckled...

I love Chicken Shit Heels like Dundee & Budro was this day!

I am looking at a television with a five 5 on the truth looking at wrestling two the city of Memphis championship wrestling news channels 5 in Memphis tenn on my cell 📱 phone in Augusta Georgia Howard Youngblood I talked two 2 some of these wrestling people in Knoxville tenn oh my goodness

3984 where is 3984 Elvis Presley is that 🚶 street in Memphis tenn oh my goodness 👌 ok OK my phone is not going too tell me??????Ohio is that right??????? Oh my goodness

Dutch mantell. Thats not a hairy back, its a man back

Mantell was a wrestler ? I didnt know

Lance should have sold it better.Not impressed.He should have punched Lance & knocked him down then both Dundee & Landel put the boots to him for a bit until help ran out.Buddy never touched him so why are they threatening him?

Anyone can say what they want to, concerning that slap to Lance Russell's face, from "The Superstar" Bill Dundee...but Lance Russell deserved to be slapped! I know it was an angle that they had incorporated into this whole situation, but Bill Dundee had already warned Lance Russell twice. Lance didn't know when to go "Dead Air" sometimes, though, and this time-WHACK!!! He caught a good one, right across the left cheek!

J.D. Costello looks like a dime store version of Jim Cornette. Watching him makes you realize how good Corney actually was.

Keith Erich can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag!

the wrestling is scripted but that angle of Dundee slapping Russell was that scripted or real for wrestlers they sure make good actors.

"Bulldog" Morrell back as a wrestler.

They were constantly trying to recreate a Jimmy Hart or a Jim Cornette

Tony Falk: An arrogant heel jobber. Not many of those in wrestling history. Most just got squashed, left the ring, and that was it.

Love ya Tony😅

42:27 Did Bill Dundee say they had a "white Australian policy" where people had to look like him back home? Jesus...

Lance Russell doesn’t take any shit

That Billy kid looks a little soft

My 2nd victory....lol

Sweet, #SCM

The best grudge match is no time limit no D Q the only way the match ends is by pinfall no submission just beat the hell out of them until you want to pin them

Easy for a wrestler to manhandle an announcer
