"Jerry Lawler's Memphis Wrestling" Third Taping A Success
Written by Mark James
Just got back from the third TV taping of ‘Jerry Lawler’s Memphis Wrestling’ and had a wonderful time. My last post here was on May 22, after the first taping of the show.

It was announced this morning that a new Memphis Wrestling show is about to be a reality. Details are sketchy, but the early news is Jerry Lawler is putting together a brand new Memphis Wrestling show. What I’ve heard is the new show will have actually live wrestling on it.

I’ll let you know when more info becomes available.

So Where Can I Get My Hands On Memphis Wrestling Memorabilia?
Written by Mark James
I can't tell you how many emails I get from people wanting to know where they can buy old Memphis Wrestling memorabilia. The problem is there's just not a lot of it and the people who do have some, are not selling any of it. With this in mind, and even though it's not the Holy Grail, here’s a chance for you old time Memphis Wrestling fans to own a piece of history, lol. I was online this morning and noticed that Bill Dundee has an auction up on eBay for one of his old ring jumpsuits. Obviously Bill was…
