I always thought Brown had a striking resemblance to Carl Weathers back then.

[@DefLeppardVanHalen]

Lucius Too Sweet I always thought the same thing.

[@16rumpole]

I never thought about that but you're right.

[@stevemtc1]

He is

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Damn right

[@oneilmackey1155]

Yes he does

[@lemondishonor7736]

Brickhouse Brown deserves more credit. He was around in a lot of territories back in the day.

[@tobysgamingworld1550]

Southeastern/Continental they did the same angle but with him and Arn Anderson. Might’ve been BB’s idea. Either way it took guts to do that in Memphis with a large black population.

[@Mr.Majestic77]

Imagine if Memphis Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling, & Jim Crockett Promotions would have merged in the late 1980's.

[@johnstrika9170]

Mr. M A J E S T I C XIII . Blackstruggle77 It would have failed miserably just like the AWA /WCCW shows did. Everyone would want THEIR guys at the top.

They tried that already. It was called Pro Wrestling USA

brickhouse brown is actually the one that came up with this idea

Very true

Nobody did it like the Memphis guys. That's why the ratings were always through the roof.

Picture a booker in the back handing Brickhouse Brown a script 30 minutes before taping.....ridicule......redickling...oh hell....close enough !!!!! New word in the English language and another 15 minutes of listening to it over and over till I cry laughing so damn hard......ok....1 last time !!!!

[@michaelscurlock5371]

Man...you are too silly!! Respect💯. Those were the good ole days. My granddad would take me to the mid-south colosium(please check my spelling)on monday nights. Plus we had studio tickets.

[@Lewis-pr8cr]

4:52 - "Ridickling me?"

[@mankind2112]

Yea baby, back when we could make fun of one another and not take it so personal - good times. Made for great wrestling segments.

[@jayc6395]

Seriously! Really! Smh

Yeah back when white people could make racist jokes about black people and get away with it. Wait white people, Hispanics, Asians can still make racist jokes about black people and get away with it.

[@rexdart9841]

I know Miss Sylvia competed in a few matches with the likes of Candi Divine and Downtown Bruno in the CWA. However do you know if any of these matches were actully televised or recorded??

[@missumenimsatanass]

B.H. was a HORRIBLE talker...lol. He thought he was better then he really was. When he would showboat it was very cringeworthy...lol

[@syahminorizan8064]

Imagine what would happen when they brought KFC and watermelon and Kool Aid durkng that feud

[@todddavis9437]

i see where the nation of domination and rock got this years earlier

[@ed2kou1]

Where's the angle where Sylvia talks about a match where Dowtown Bruno has to wear a diaper. Foley talks about it, in his book.

[@norms3913]

Brickhouse looks like a beefed up Lionel Richie

Never mind the race angle; someone is wearing a party hat on top of their cowboy hat. Even Malcolm X and George Wallace would be nudging each other and chuckling at that.
