Jericho's in hot water with this one, at least publicly if not with AEW (probably Tony won't want to do anything, lol). TBH, I'm more excited about Jim to talk about that beaver toothed clown Kevin Dunn.

    Dam does this bring back memories!! I grew up in Southern Indiana about an hour north of Louisville & my brother & I never missed wrestling outta Louisville on Saturday mornings(channel 3) from '79-80 until about '88-89. As far I'm concerned Lance Russell & Dave Brown were the best wrestling announcers ever. They knew when to speak & when to let the action speak for itself. Whether it was Lawler or Dundee or Nick Bockwinkle or Harley Race or Ric Flair or the Fabulous Ones or the Road Warriors or Andre the Giant or you name it, we saw every wrestling great from that time frame on that show. It's a crime they don't have the original tapes from all those Saturday morning shows bcuz those tapes deserve to be seen by everyone who enjoys wrestling. That show truly was the epitome of wrestling during that time

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:46 🎤 *In September 1977, Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee had a hair match where Dundee got his head shaved. However, Jerry Jarrett felt they ended it too early and brought it back, this time with Beverly's hair at stake, leading to a memorable promo.*
    03:08 🤣 *During Lawler's promo about Dundee's wife, Beverly unexpectedly runs out, slaps Lawler, and Dundee drags her away. The unplanned incident added excitement and authenticity to the segment, making it a memorable moment.*
    05:25 💔 *Lawler announces a Texas Death Match against Dundee, vowing to win it for Dundee's old lady. The personal issues added emotional depth to the feud, creating a compelling storyline that resonated with the audience.*
    07:12 💰 *In 1977, Lawler paid Beverly and Dundee $3,000 each (equivalent to around $30,000 today) for shaving their heads. This unexpected windfall helped Dundee, who had recently moved to the U.S. from Australia, make a significant down payment on his first house.*
    11:48 🔄 *Discussing Lawler's 1979 heel turn, it was a response to the need for a change as his babyface run had become stale. The heel turn, though cut short due to injury, showcased Lawler's versatility and added excitement to the Memphis wrestling scene.*
