Dutch Mantell on The Mid-South Coliseum 

The Mid-South Coliseum was such a great place and gave me great memories.

They need to make the Mid-South Coliseum a Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame. I certainly would visit it a lot.

The Mid-South Coliseum had the ambiance of wrestling no matter who's working it, BROTHER!👍

I loved the coliseum as a child we had great wrestling

I've played the Mid South Coliseum. As a Memphian it is one of our crown jewels so to say...

It was awesome to wrestle in the Mid-South Coliseum, even the ring had an incredible sound in that building.

Just saw recently they have a plan in place to bring the Colliseum up to date and re open it. That would be awesome.

Lots of big shows back then in the MSC, but 2 men ruled there, jerry lawler and dana kirk, especially if louisville was playing

Nashville fairgrounds at the old coliseum was the best ! It was a old cow barn , but man was it packed.

Macho man sold it out when he and Lanny Poffo wrestleed

Some great shows were in Memphis.

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.

One of the most iconic venues in the history of professional wrestling 🙏 so blessed I got to attend several shows there back in the 80’s!!

Dutch is right about the crowd identifying with the show. AEW has small, goofy wrestlers and the AEW crowds are small and features goofy people...

11,200 for Wrestling about 11,000 for basketball

Lawler did commericals there until recently. Danny Dunn transmission ads ran forever.

Long history of great shows at the Coliseum - concerts, the circus, Holiday on Ice, Ice Capades, Bill Watts and Jim Duggan vs the Freebirds.

I'd love to hear stories about the WTBS midtown Atlanta studio back in the GCW days.

Elvis made a live record album at Mid-South; RCA released it in 1974. Part of my collection.

Dutch it was the Roberto Clemente Coliseum next to Hiram Bithorn stadium in San Juan

I've seen a monster truck show featuring Big Foot at the Midsouth Coliseum.

Back then every Monday night at the Midsouth Coliseum was like Wrestlmania.

The BEST concerts ever were at the coliseum!!!

Where is Dutch?

Lots of greats started there ...Kamala ...The Rock and Roll Express , The Blade Runners , Bam.Bam Bigelow , Sid Vicious etc

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

Only saw two matches at mid south and I loved. I watch shows in Louisville on Tuesday nights but had to see the King beat Superstar

MSC seats 11,200 for basketball. Easily 12,000 for wrestling.

AEW talent is bush league. It's backyard wrestling.
