19. Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee - The Feud That Made Memphis


Listen Later

Hop onto the canvas of the time traveling wrestling ring with hosts Troy & Santiago as they head to the Continental Wrestling Association in the 1970s to kick off "Jerry-uary"! On a mid-August night in 1977 in the Mid-South Coliseum in front of 8,397 rabid fans, Southern Champion Jerry "The King" Lawler took on bitter rival "Superstar" Bill Dundee in a Hair vs. Car match, where Lawler's manager, Mickey Poole's hair was on the line. Lawler and Dundee were sometimes partners but mostly enemies throughout the late 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. They eventually went their own ways, with Dundee headed south to WCW and Lawler going north to the WWF, but they scorched the earth in the Memphis, Tennessee territory behind them.
