      I used to get my dad to knock a.few minutes early so I could.get to the house to watch the.show sometimes he would other times it was a little harder but for the most part I watched this show every Saturday.

      Same. Us kids would do our chores early to be done so we could watch Memphis wrestling with Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart.

    Man, my Mom, Aunt, grandparents, sure did love them some Memphis Wrestling. I went into the Army in September of 76, and of course I grew up watching Saturday morning wrestling. We lived on North Prescott. At Poplar and Walnut Grove. Whbq, channel 13, was right down the road. Myself, and my friends would always ride our bikes to the station every Saturday morning, in hopes of getting in to watch the show. 9 times out of 10 we'd get in. What great memories. Anyway, my Mom, Aunt, and my little brother, and sister, never missed a Monday night show. While, I was in the Army, my Mom, would mail me each month, the program she would buy on Monday nights. She'd write down on the programs who won. Man, was that a treat. Especially, while I was stationed in Korea, in 79 80. It was hard duty. But, the wrestling programs, brought home just a little closer. I knew, it wasn't real, my Dad, he was an Memphis fireman for 27 years, couldn't stand it,but never tried to tell Mom she couldn't go on Monday nights. He, knew how much Mom, my Aunt, and siblings enjoyed it. Sorry for rambling, bottom line, I did so enjoy Mom, sending the programs every month for 4 years straight. Also, when ever I'd come home on leave, I'd take them and my grandfather to the Monday matches. I got such a kick out of watching them watch the matches. What such wonderful memories.

    Wonder if the videos of the tar & feathering have made it here? the one where they got Jimmy Hart was excellent! He was almost clucking he had so many feathers on him. Good stuff

  • @Darrencardinal
    @Darrencardinal 13 лет назад +15

    @selimaazouri
    Yep. Lance was awesome. I always felt he was among the best of the announcers, at any of the promkotions. The way he ennunciated was hilarious. Used to crack up when the first family would be in there beating down Lawler and Lance would be over there saying, "C'mon Hart get this guy out of here... we don't need this kind of stuff.." and clanging the bell.
    And of course he had Dave Brown, who was the Robin to his Batman.

    • @Maestroc828
      @Maestroc828 3 года назад +1

      Lance would talk about the heels and say, we never said the guy couldn’t wrestle, it’s just that “lousy” attitude! Lancer was the best, in my Handsome Jimmy voice.

    It seems like that Hart slowed down when he joined Vince. His Memphis stuff is beyond compare.

      He didn't have to be Memphis Jimmy Hart and make more money.

    • @MrHmg55
      @MrHmg55 4 года назад +3

      @@marlinmealer6506 Very true. Just like Jerry Lawler didn't have to be Memphis Jerry Lawler. The WWF/WWE wasn't into the very Southern style and attitude of the guys it signed from territories like Memphis. McMahon was running a national operation and if you were from the South, you had to connect with a national fan base, either negatively or positively, which meant becoming a cartoon character rather than a hometown hero/villain. As you said, Jimmy (and Jerry) could make tons more money in WWF/WWE than in Memphis, so who can begrudge them the chance at playing a simpler role?

    You must did not get to see Jimmy Hart that much. Hart was/is the greatest manager of ALL time. NOBODY could bring that heat like Jimmy did/could. Cornette rode Jimmy's coattails and watched what he did. He didn't copy him down to a tee, but he witnessed the greatest. Cornette was the ring photographer in Memphis for some time and Jerry Jarrett gave him a push a manager of Sherri Martel.Cornette was great, but not more so than the "Mouth of the South."

    @stanbrekston 6 лет назад +13

    you know, i used to think that 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, & Dusty Rhodes, were the best 'Talkers' in 'Wrastlin'. but you've got to put 'The Mouth of the South', Jimmy Hart, right up there with the best of em.

  • @MemphisWrestlingVideoVault
    @MemphisWrestlingVideoVault  13 лет назад +3

    @selimaazouri - I'll second that. An excellent "straight man" as well as an exciting play-by-play commentator that helped sell the action in the ring.

    Downtown Bruno was a good heel manager in Memphis,but he wasn't near as good as Jimmy Hart was,and had the same heat.

    @mamacornettesmoney I wanted to put Dundee up there, but between he and Hart, I'd have to give the nod to Hart. Now, Dundee benefited from Hart's departure as he got a major push, but Hart was the arch enemy Memphis needed.
