    I really need to watch my Wrestling Gold DVDs. Tons of Lawler matches with commentary from Jim.

      Not just lawler matches. But Memphis matches in general. And some of the San Antonio/Joe Blanchard territory matches. Some indianapolis and detroit.

      Randy Savage and Lanny Poffo vs. The rock and roll express in memphis is a hell of a match on that set. Best $10 dollars I ever spent on corny's collectibles.

    Worked on Jarrett's home years ago. He wasn't very friendly.Years later I met Jeff through some wrestlers I worked with - way more accessible, nice guy. Different from his father.

      @scottsmartky 4 года назад +7

      Considering 1981 when he missed pretty much the entire year with the broken leg showed that Lawler was pretty much 80% of the draw of the entire promotion, 10% was a little low.

    Jarrett stole the territory from Nick Gulas, Lawler later trying to steal the territory in just about the same way isn't surprising.
    But in that era it was all about who could control the TV stations and get the TV time. Jarrett was able to do that. Lawler wasn't.
    Its also important to understand what "10% of the gate" really means. Usually it didn't mean 10% off the top of the total number. It would end up being some fraction of it. And one of the reasons being an actual owner was so important to someone like Lawler is that when you are an owner, you get see the actual books of the company and understand whats really being made and whats really being paid out.

    At least Gary Hart wasn't the kind to hold grudges at Tully Blanchard and Jeff Jarrett for his personal beef with their fathers for whatever it was, whether it been Joe Blanchard breaking up the Dallas Territory or the Fullers taking business opportunities from him.
