Love the ad. Herenton doing an ad to get cable TV into the schools is hilarious. Just what everyone needs ... more TV viewing for children! By the way, the man is 83, and he's currently running to become Memphis' mayor again!
Bobby Capron his haircut was a result of his hair vs hair match with idol which he lost and this was phase one of growing it back to his original style which he had even going to WWF/WWE in 94. Your right though had he known how things were gonna be he'd have been cool before cool was cool.

First match was hilarious.....that big dropkick missed by a mile xD lol It happens, I know.....still funny when it happens also, nice look at a young Barry Horowitz as Jack Hart
He never stayed in 1 promotion long.He did go to WOW where he made a bit more $$$$ but did not get a push.From there he did jobs in WWF & also went to Southern Championship Wrestling in Georgia
This is shortly after the hair vs hair match with Idol. He had just had his head shaved for the first time ever and it caused a near riot in the Mid-south coliseum. I was there with my dad that night as an 11 year old kid.

what was the name of that song that jeff jarrett came out on?
No Easy Way Out by Robert Tepper. It was featured in Rocky IV.
Probably the most famous 80s montage song ever 😅
How did hickerson keep that Adonis type physique
king sans he wrestled just as great as Adrian too
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stretcher jack Hart is Barry harowitz in the WWE
He wasn't patting himself on the back, so I almost missed him
Lawler loves the camera, always did.
Lawler looked good with the shorter hair.
I think Lawler had some work done here. That's why he had the sunglasses, haircut n beard.
This is shortly after the hair vs hair match with Idol. He had just had his head shaved for the first time ever and it caused a near riot in the Mid-south coliseum. I was there with my dad that night as an 11 year old kid.
@@ExperienceEricHe got his nuts crushed for the second time!
Paul E. looked like a movie star. The stories don't have to be complex if it's real to the wrestlers (I miss not having to suspend my belief).
Good,,show

He pussied out.He got a buzz cut not a hair shave
