Memphis Wrestling: Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee - Part 3

Best Memphis TV angle EVER!
October 19, 1985

[@arteatan4083]

Lawler and Dundee could go out there, old age bad hearts, canes or walkers, and still put on a better show than WWE.

[@justuschristian63]

Dundee and Lawler has the greatest Feud of all time !! They also have some of the greatest matches of all time.

[@milom8331]

What great memories I can remember my dad and me watching these matches when I was a kid. Just the best Way better than today's stuff We even would go down to the colosseum in Evansville on Wednesday night's. Just some of the best times of my life

[@daveschannel747]

Classic angle for the match with Flair... One of the best Memphis angles of all time! Stunning situation! I was looking for a haircut today!!

Man You Know Your Product Is Good When Virtually Your 2 Top Wrestlers Run A Whole Hour And A Half Show And Keep The Crowd And Viewers Engaged Thats Pure Talent And Storytelling People Simply Two Of The Best

[@yahkibenyehuda4255]

Dundee, you either loved him or hated him, regardless he was totally awesome and a very loyal dude to the business!

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

hahahaha to quote an old Jim Cornette phrase - or was it a Jerry Lawler phrase? - re: Bill Dundee - "he's so hyper, he makes coffee nervous". LOL

[@tfranklin1155]

Dundee is 5'7 and could hold his own. Mysterio is 5'4 and can wrestle too. Height is just a word. These 2 guys were Hogan and Savage for the Memphis territory. Love these guys. Met them both back in the 90s. Good men and I salute them both....T

Mista T nobody likes a dwarf

[@Stereolabdream]

It must have been heaven watching this as a kid....we had Saturday TV wrestling here in the UK...and our heroes and villains...for us it was Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks...but NEVER the real character development of this....great stuff!

[@cheerwhiner7829]

The bulldog at 4:10 is impactful, and it doesn’t take 10 seconds to set up. Simple, straightforward, and effective. I am old school… but so many of the moves done now take so long to set up, that it impacts the match going on (no pun intended). This is just two dudes, trading punches. It was believable back then, and I’ll always enjoy watching it. 👍

[@kevinpayton2664]

Dundee and Lawler had one of the greatest rivalries in the history of the business.

[@lizardman77]

Distinctly remember this as a kid, remember Lawler wearing black and green. At 1:45 Lawler seems to forget he's on live Tv in the kayfabe era, but we've seen him do it many times. Classic stuff.

[@marathonriverrat]

Dundee and Lawler were like Flair and Rhodes. U new it was gnna b a battle and they knew each other so well they culd do it with there eyes closed but damn it was always fun to watch. Dundee as a heel was a heatseeking missle. I was always a Dundee fan but when he was a heel god it was great.

[@marathonriverrat]

these guys could do it all. face or heel both could doit great. their fueds were classic because they sold for each other so well . both admit it.

[@lizardman77]

@1:47 Lawler is laughing. It was heaven watching this as a kid, I remember this angle very clearly. Love that music as they go to break.

[@chanceearley6272]

I was wondering if anybody else noticed that LOL.

[@arkansoul]

Bill Dundee and Ric Flair could make the sorriest wrestler look like a champ. They were the best at selling wrestling moves.

[@alvinhoward9825]

Why doesn't anybody show a episode with Juicy Jonny in it,does anyone remember him?

[@slimstak]

Notice how they got this small crowd poppin and WWE crowds are huge and quiet as a cricket because they don't know how to set up a story line/match and the crowd bought it.

[@Lillian2167]

@Aaron20b that's because they filmed this in a TV Studio; The big Events were held at the Mid South Coliseum

[@chuckgan]

Dundee was much better than Lawler, Even as a heel, Dundee broke fewer rules than Lawler. Interestlingly, Lawler and Dundee would win AWA tag-team champ. a year later.

[@richardcooper8954]

Well I guess we arnt getting Prichard and Rose vs Lawler and Dundee today😂😂😂

[@GetBenched2010]

Buddy or Tom must have no-showed. Might explain why this angle was hot shotted so badly.

[@Csmallo]

Old school Memphis beats anything WWE has done in decades.

[@lizardman77]

@Aaron20b The show was filmed in the studio and tickets were always free.

[@reedryals4116]

karis mitchell i went with my church back in the 70's. The mean greens were their and Fargo

[@PCPBGANG]

They came in the mail...lol

[@sammys70]

@05221956js I agree.Wrestling was so much better back then.I grew up watching mid-atlantic wrestling and the storylines,and wrestling was so much better than it is today.

[@krisone5253]

Watch out for Billy's trick knee!!

[@thefriendsociety]

i never saw no chain....

[@Aaron20b]

thats not a very big crowd is it..

[@lizardman77]

Yeah studios aren't very big.

[@rgn87654]

The lighting in the ring was horrible. It was dark in the corners.

[@dogdam2002]

This was a boxing match lol

[@lizardman77]

thanks for the cute insult. I don't care who you're "friends" with they didn't hate each other both guys have said so repeatedly just that they didn't hang out because Lawler didn't drink etc. Do a little fact checking.

[@chuckgan]

How ironic that Lawler got beat by a chain when that was his fave weapon besides fire.

[@benashworth7653]

I like seeing a face lawler getting beat

[@MC-rf8sx]

I think it's great they let dwarfs have a chance to wrestle and to be 4 foot he gave Lawler all he could handle... Lol ..he's such a good heal I want someone to kick his ass that's how u do it..Wrestling today is a joke compared to back the day

[@lizardman77]

Too bad Lawler was laughing then.

[@lizardman77]

ummm...ok, I guess every show on TV is "real" LOL.

[@chitownace777]
