I moved to Memphis from New England and I couldn’t believe how big wrestling still was. My girlfriend’s grandmother still religiously watched wrestling. I ran into Lawler at a place called the Electric Cowboy and you’d think Elvis Presley walked in he was so revered and respected. It was awesome.
hey …. it’s was crazy in there . there were more fights in hallways after the matches than in the ring - everybody was wound up ready to rumble … just sayin’ memphis peeps. dutch was great at the shows and on tv . they got everybody fired up to go monday night to see what happens …. memphis fired up on sat. morning tv and go to the mid south coliseum
