This is a REAL HALL OF FAME SEGMENT HERE! This is a group of the best pure pro wrestlers of our time doing EXACTLY what they do best! 100% promos and 100% craziness!
@mic3423 I loved going to the matches at the Coliseum , as a child. I started going to the matches with my Granddad in 1977. Many great wrestlers came through there.
It was EPIC, wasn't it?! We didn't get to see Memphis area wrestling. Once in a great while our independent station may televise a show. But usually it was AWA only. This was in the 70's mind you, before Vince bought everything.
I grew up in Memphis and was able to go to one of these tapings as a kid. My Aunt went on a few dates with Lawlor. He invited us and I will tell you that the funniest thing I saw was old ladies hitting the wrestlers on the head with their canes and umbrellas. They were cussing at the wrestlers. It was hilarious. The old ladies were scarier than the matches.😊
I would have absolutely loved to have been at one of those tapings.... even here in Rochester, NY New York in the old days we used to see older ladies Jewel pieces of soap bars into the ring of the Valiant Brothers.... but I have to tell you the Mid-South wrestling was great and completely pure and unadulterated straight from the hip and very little rehearsing.... they sure could roll in that ring.... glad your mom dated the king!🤴
I would go see Memphis wrestling when it came to Evansville on Wednesday’s in the mid 80’s. Tons of old women pissed at the heels. Smelled like cigarettes too.
its was the same at the Maple leaf gardens in Toronto Ontario Canada in the 80s the few times I went . vicious old ladies and the Filth they spewed LOL
I first saw Scott Hall in the AWA with Greg Gagne as his partner. He looked exactly like he did here. He was being billed as "Big Scott Hall." Very impressive.
Eddie Marlon was very convincing. His interaction brought life to the feud and made it believable. He pioneered the owner vs wrestlers angle, which so many imitated. He deserves to be inducted into the wrestling hall of fame for playing a vital part in so many careers.
I’m from Memphis and this brings back great memories. That was a tv studio on Union Ave right across the street from a police station. Bill Dundee was the smallest one and got in the face of everybody. Then you see Scott Hall/Razor Ramon. That dude was huge.
It always amazes how huge Scott was in his early days… he made rocky johnson look small and rocky ain’t a small guy either. My favorite all time wrestler RIP Scott
@@GrumpyWolfTech He was on the roids but from a bodybuilding perspective, he had great natural aesthetics and symmetry coupled with height and big legs.
Sam Jones Scott at his tallest was I believe 6’6” billed at 6’7”. And during the mid 80’s had a better physique than Hogan. He stopped juicing and was still pretty jacked in his wwf and wcw runs. Scott at his best is one of the most complete wrestlers ever.
I wish Lance Russell was still alive to see the state of wrestling today. To see all the up and coming guys to go on to be legends in the game. This brings back so many memories. Man I love pro wrestling!
The comedic value of a fat man in a 70s tracksuit with wrestling trunks and cowboy boots all the while having a very tiny guitar slung over his shoulder can not be overstated.
Memphis wrestling. Where a lot of wrestlers got there start. I used to watch this on Saturday mornings. My dad used to go watch it cause he lived down the road from the colosseum
Even though I was not born yet I love seeing instant replays of this wrestling they have everything the late greats in their prime can't get any better than
@@thecryptoendgame they're part of it, without the golden age, you wouldn't have the attitude era, Scott hall pass it on to the dudleys, hardyz, edge and Christian,so much more.
Yeah the better wrestling era with more real moves and less gimmicks and lots of actual wrestling but still had matches predetermined or scripted if would generate more viewers and interest was 1983-1999 and predominantly in WCW/NWA/AWA trifecta before being bought out in early 2000s by then WWF now WWE. Also what made WCW more attractive and popular or favorable over then WWF, you didn’t have to get PPV to see kick ass bad ass awesome matches and rivalries settled or cranked up! WWE then WWF always made you get PPV most of the time but not always to see anything really entertaining or decent. Now this kind of wrestling has never been really legit and not staged; but in early 80s to late 90s, the fake moves mixed with real moves and non-scripted moves were real and made you believe in it more and enjoy it plus legitimately true hate or rivalries existed in WCW/NWA/AWA than then WWF now WWE.
ah mecorp Scotty focused on the gym at the time to stay away from the bars. It wasn't until he started hanging around Pac, Nash, and Michaels that his demons started to become a real issue. Once he went to WCW the wheels fell off completely. There was nothing stopping him from unraveling. Even he has admitted that Vince never would have allowed him to get as bad as he got in WCW. He would have looked after him. Glad he finally cleaned up, even if it's all these years later. Hell of a talent.
Anybody who thinks Scott Hall doesn't get hammered still on occasion doesn't know what's going on. He's better than he used to be but can still be a huge dick and still drinks and gets out of hand on occasion.
Hall was an absolutely huge athlete who just hapoened to have an even more huge buddy. Hogan used to be viewed as super human in the late 70s and early 80s and Hall was bigger than him.
@@mr.perksy Hall said he used roids early in his career and first stint in wcw. He said he was on roids as razor ramon, never tested for roids, but was tested for orher drugs.
Wow, what a crowd, I had never seen Dwayne's father. Scott is popping up all over, he sure is missed. Great memories, and so much never seen fun stuff... Good times.
I love watching these old wrestling clips it's hilarious Definitely seems like more of a game show then wrestling but it's still pretty funny to watch.
I saw Scott Hall at the Waukegan, IL high school back in the mid 80s when he was still doing the cowboy persona. Adrian Adonis was also there but I don't remember who else. I was probably about 9 years old at the time.
Oh, how I miss those days. Memphis born and raised, I remember many Saturday mornings my uncle would pile us up in that long sky blue Cadillac and take us to Channel 5 studio and we would watch this live. It would be the main topic at school Monday morning......
After the show... Jerry Lawler: "Hey Scott, have a beer." Scott Hall: "No thanks, Jerry. I don't drink." Jerry Lawler: "Come on, just try it." Scott Hall: "Okay, just this once."
Any territorial promotion that was around during the 1980s was ten times better than the WWF. A shame these promotions are no longer around. I blame the WWF for their demise.
I grew up watching it. I seen them all come through from Hulk Hogan,Undrae The Giant,to Shawn Michaels, Rick Flair,Steve Austin,Undertaker,Sid,Jeff Jarrett,The Rock and thousands of others.Jerry Lawler beat them all. My favorite memory was when Road Warriors came through. I remember when Sid was ruling in Memphis. I hated him. Didn't become a fan til he became Pysho Sid at WWE.
I remember going to wmc 5 studio for live Saturday wrestling! I was geeked as a kid until my uncle told me it was fake. I argued the point, but when I saw a wrestler stage a knock down hit, I was crushed as a young fan. It was pure fun after that.
I went to Marion elementary (6th grade) in the late 80s when Dave Brown came to give us all a speech about meteorology and Tornado safety. There was a Q&A at the end, and they were all NWA wrestling questions. Sidebar : Growing up, my family only bought our fireworks from the Mound City fireworks tent because that was one of Jerry Lawler's businesses.
Rest In Peace Scott Hall, Rocky Johnson, Lance Russell, and Brickhouse Brown.
Agreed. And the thing I always liked about Mr. Russell was he talked back to the wrestlers making it feel more real.
completely forgot the OG Rock was part of this
And Don Bass

This is a REAL HALL OF FAME SEGMENT HERE! This is a group of the best pure pro wrestlers of our time doing EXACTLY what they do best! 100% promos and 100% craziness!
Every good promo begins with “let me tell you sumthin”
Let me tell you sumtgin jabroni, Virgil is I forget
Well... let me tell ya sumthin mean gene!
And to all of you who disagree with this, let me tell you somethin', baby...
And "you come out here runnin your mouth" lol
It can't be no worse than Hogan saying "brother" and "dude" over and over and over again lol
Jesus the Nasty Boyz just exist in every wrestling era don't they?
They are forever
Yup
I almost didn't recognize them because of how thin they were
They should've been in wwe hall of fame. Those guys are legends!
Jerry Lawler actually.
800 fans at the local high school's media room producing a bigger pop than RAW can in 2017
J.L. Wyatt so sad but true
this is actually a real television studio
Or 2019.
@Donald Iarussi MFA Donny Osmond we speak English here
That was wrestling in the 80’s for you.
Lots of legends in that shot. So many gathered in that one clip.
RIP Scott Hall.....Scott and Rocky Johnson would later end up fighting each other....Saw em in 87 at the coliseum in my hometown of Evansville Indiana
@mic3423 I loved going to the matches at the Coliseum , as a child. I started going to the matches with my Granddad in 1977. Many great wrestlers came through there.
This was nostalgic to see. Jerry Lawler, The Rock's dad, Razor Ramon and the Nasty Boyz all in the same promo...nice.
You mean Dwayne Rock Johnson
@@magpatocx Yeah, The Rocks dad. He knows what he said.
@@sewermachine462 To be fair, Rocky Johnson was an a-hole.
Been binging Scott Hall videos. R.I.P. Scott Hall. He was still fairly young too, only 63...
Kids , Don't use drugs and abuse alcohol.
Me too watching Scott Hall videos and he wasnt real old.
for what he put his body through it was amazing he made it to 63.
Old school wrestling ~ good chatter, good atmosphere, GREAT action. How I wish those days never ended.
It was EPIC, wasn't it?! We didn't get to see Memphis area wrestling. Once in a great while our independent station may televise a show. But usually it was AWA only. This was in the 70's mind you, before Vince bought everything.

A lot of this shit was middling at bes

Same in the area where I lived. It was all so much better before Vince bought everything.

That must have been quite the clearance sale at Party City

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quality comment lol
😂
I first saw Scott Hall in the AWA with Greg Gagne as his partner. He looked exactly like he did here. He was being billed as "Big Scott Hall." Very impressive.
With him standing next to Nash all the time, it's easy to forget how big he actually was.
Well..I remember Jim Brunzell was with Gagne and Curt Hennig was with Scott Hall.
RIP Brick house Brown, Rocky Johnson and Lance Russell
Mid South Coliseum memories as a kid in Memphis. Awesome! ... J
Eddie Marlon was very convincing. His interaction brought life to the feud and made it believable. He pioneered the owner vs wrestlers angle, which so many imitated. He deserves to be inducted into the wrestling hall of fame for playing a vital part in so many careers.
Eddie Marlon always came off tougher than his wrestlers.
I recognized a few people in there and it's a shame that a video was so deteriorated.
I’m from Memphis and this brings back great memories. That was a tv studio on Union Ave right across the street from a police station. Bill Dundee was the smallest one and got in the face of everybody. Then you see Scott Hall/Razor Ramon. That dude was huge.
Yea Scott came out looking like a damn near 7 foot jacked ravishing Rick rude with that pornstache
Scott Hall was huge! Wow
The big guy in the multi-colored suit with the glasses is Fred Ottman, who went on to be Typhoon and the Shockmaster
Lance Russell Dave Brown right along ringside...LOVED hearing that on Sat mornings as a kid!!
R.I.P. Brick house Brown and R.I.P. Scott Hall and R.I.P. Rocky Johnson. So many greats have gone to rest.
Thank you so much for the vídeo I don' t know that Scott Hall was in This Company
Scott Hall was great in this territory
Excellent!
It always amazes how huge Scott was in his early days… he made rocky johnson look small and rocky ain’t a small guy either. My favorite all time wrestler RIP Scott
He had insane genetics. Very articulate in his promos also.
@@barrymurphy402 lol, he was on roids then, he admits this in documentaries.
@@GrumpyWolfTech He was on the roids but from a bodybuilding perspective, he had great natural aesthetics and symmetry coupled with height and big legs.
@@barrymurphy402 right, like Scott doesn't look that big without something to give perspective, since he is so well proportioned.
@@GrumpyWolfTech You talk like you are revealing some big news item here - we all know and we all don't care
Scott Hall lived long enough to cut promos with both Rocky and Dwayne. The Rock and NWO comes to mind...
Scott Hall looks like a much Bigger Magnum T.A.
He was Magnum Scott Hall at one point.
The AWA tried calling him "Magnum" Scott Hall if I remember correctly.
Yeah he does
For sure. Scott was pretty thick back then. He slimmed down a bit when he got to WWE.
Sam Jones Scott at his tallest was I believe 6’6” billed at 6’7”. And during the mid 80’s had a better physique than Hogan. He stopped juicing and was still pretty jacked in his wwf and wcw runs. Scott at his best is one of the most complete wrestlers ever.

Met Brickhouse Brown in Nashville, at an MCW event, and he was legit the nicest guy, you'd think wouldn't be so nice.
R.I.P. Brickhouse.
How did he die?
It seems that more often than not, the biggest heels were some of the nicest guys in real life.
@@carldevries9108 watch Brick house Brown on Mid South Wrestling. He was a good guy then. And used Jeri Curl.
Memphis wrestling. Where a lot of wrestlers got there start. I used to watch this on Saturday mornings. My dad used to go watch it cause he lived down the road from the colosseum
Listening to Rocky Johnson cut a promo, I now know where The Rock gets it from!
Close your eyes and its the rock all day
"You come out here and you run your mouth......."
his mother?
While Brick House sounds just like The Hacksaw Butch Reed. He talks just like him also. They probably learned from each other.
Yeah i can just picture The Rock.
Even though I was not born yet I love seeing instant replays of this wrestling they have everything the late greats in their prime can't get any better than
Rest in power to the bad guy, Chico, always great to reminisce the golden age of pro wrestling.
Amen to this!
Golden age ? So what is the attitude era considered?
@@thecryptoendgame they're part of it, without the golden age, you wouldn't have the attitude era, Scott hall pass it on to the dudleys, hardyz, edge and Christian,so much more.
Bill Dundee was the most intimidating 5’6” wrestler of all-time.
Him and dynamite kid, napoleon complex lol
@President Funny Valentine D4C not for adult men in america, and certainly not for adult white men in the american wrestling business
Haha Dundee was tough as nails
@Admiral Benbow ever fought tommy rich?
@Admiral Benbow you sound like an idiot.
AH YES... When Wrestling was fun and truly entertaining....
Dang... even Scott Hall's mustache was swoll
I had no idea that Razor Ramon fought along side The king and Rocky Jonhson. Pretty cool!!!!
This is better than anything I've seen on the WWE in the past few years
or any wrestling for that matter
Yeah the better wrestling era with more real moves and less gimmicks and lots of actual wrestling but still had matches predetermined or scripted if would generate more viewers and interest was 1983-1999 and predominantly in WCW/NWA/AWA trifecta before being bought out in early 2000s by then WWF now WWE.

I love the look on Hall's face as he walks out (Along the lines of "You got something to say, Chico?") :D
Such amazing talent on that studio.
Razor Ramon Scott Hall is probably up in heaven, cutting promos against the Macho Man Randy Savage
This is the best Halloween party iv ever been to
Man that shit was lit. There were more wrestlers in this promo than there were fans in the studio!
this is cool to see this for the first time. I was born in 1987
This is the challenge of the super friends!!!!
Is that Bad Company Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka??? Hellz Yeah!
I meet them when I was a kid at McDonald's....
Thunder Bay, Ontario baby! And Tanakasan!! BADD COMPANY!!
From orient express right o thought that was him man this looks serious as if it was real crazy shit
B A DD bad!
When Scott was in shape!
He wouldn’t really be out of shape for over ten years after this.
Damn, Scott was huge. Presumably, he was also sober.

Late to this one but Hall is TALL too...I worked with him at HSN in the early 90's. He towered over me & I'm 6'
Plus He was admittedly juicing quite a lot at the time. He was fucking humongous
Anybody who thinks Scott Hall doesn't get hammered still on occasion doesn't know what's going on. He's better than he used to be but can still be a huge dick and still drinks and gets out of hand on occasion.
universalmanchild So what?
Brickhouse Brown was on CWA for years and years...suprised he never got in a bigger company..
Scott Hall was such a big guy in the 80s. He was still a big guy with out the juice.
Hall was always standing next to Nash so you never really appreciated his size.
Hall said he was on roids on his early years. WCW 96 and on he wasn't and was slimmer
Even probably from 92 on. WWF started testing in 91. If you look at him in WCW 91 he was huge, and by 93 he was much smaller in the Fed.
Hall was an absolutely huge athlete who just hapoened to have an even more huge buddy. Hogan used to be viewed as super human in the late 70s and early 80s and Hall was bigger than him.

I love watching these old wrestling clips it's hilarious Definitely seems like more of a game show then wrestling but it's still pretty funny to watch.
these old clips remind me of bath houses in San Francisco back in the 80's . they looked like this
Jim Cornette used that as well 😂
Scott Hall was huge back then. Rip Scott Hall. everyone has said goodnight to the bad guy. Went way to early smh.
Man, the good old days!
Man I was only 3 months old when this happened
Jerry "The King ♚" Lawler and the "ROCK's" dad Rocky "The Soul Man" Johnson!
#EPIC
Scott Hall with Tom Selleck mustache
He was Magnum Scott Hall at one point.
A yo
@@Black-Opal True story!
“Hey Yo!”
If I remember, he was American Starship Eagle at one time too.
I remember Lawler calling him Outhouse Brown instead of Brickhouse Brown.
How you know?
Because I watched this wrestling growing up, and I remember him calling him that.
Yeah, Skandar Ackbar called him that in either WCCW or Mid-South.
Used to watch when went with friends family.
Before Booker T there was Brickhouse Brown, Brickhouse Brown saying "sucka''
Awesome take me back to my childhood 😅 thanks
Weird how Scott looked a lot bigger here than he did in his WWF/WCW/WWE days and gotta love the stache
I saw Scott Hall at the Waukegan, IL high school back in the mid 80s when he was still doing the cowboy persona. Adrian Adonis was also there but I don't remember who else. I was probably about 9 years old at the time.
looks like Lawler and Rocky about to fight the YMCA reject clan

HOLY SHIT! Scott is fucking huge...
Lots of Tuna in his diet much like Scott Steiner.
The golden days, the classic days of wrestling's glory.
After the show...
Jerry Lawler: "Hey Scott, have a beer."
Scott Hall: "No thanks, Jerry. I don't drink."
Jerry Lawler: "Come on, just try it."
Scott Hall: "Okay, just this once."
David Druid I like the joke , but jerry was anti drinking himself
That was my line to Scott in the AWA!
This video is everything I loved about 80's "wrasslin" :D
Hall has never been small. But he's built like a house 290 lbs
That's him
Hall was built like a brick house, amazing!
You'll never get that atmosphere in wrestling now.
Southern wrestling was way better than wwf
I wish wrestling was like this today. WWE has been so boring for the past few years
Reminds me of Jerry springer lol

Bad Company certainly was a great tag team.
Did jerry Lawler say "you couldn't melt that chocolate drop and pour him on me"
That got a little crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Scott was huge in his younger years😮
More action than WWE today!
So many of these men have passed on. I count at least eight of them who are no longer with us. God bless them all.
Jerry Lawler has had an amazing career...
This was pure greatness
That chocolate drop line by lawler was wild 😂
This is the scott hall I loved
I miss those days in Memphis.
I didn't know the Nasty Boys was around in 1987, geez
