      He's in his own class. It is pacing. How he lets them play out or cuts them off, or gets nervous or relaxed; he is controlling the pacing of the show. And of course, the two great interviews of the area explain why this is important. Then Eddie Marlin, does what he does best, stays out of the way (that is not meant to be an insult, some find this hard to do).

      Fundamentally, both the presentation and format are different to what we have today. Secondly, the content is different to. Wrestling is still the same today in its essentials; faces, heels, turns, comebacks, feuds etc. But wrestling just doesn't take itself seriously in the same way anymore

      Yep. Reportedly there was real life tension between the two. These days a booker like Tony Khan would have them steer clear of each other, but back then a booker like Jerry Jarrett was going to book them together and let their natural competitiveness take over, but also realize that they were professionals and weren't going to start shooting on each other.

    • @duffman18
      @duffman18 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah pro wrestling should always have at least a little bit of silliness. It's boring to take it deadly seriously all of the time. We wouldn't have guys like the Undertaker without silliness, because the concept of a literal zombie man with magical lightning powers who briefly came back to life again for a while and became a biker before eventually dying and becoming an undead zombie again, is extremely silly. It's jut that taker was so great at it that it worked. I don't think anyone else could have done that. The character of Kane is another good one, it's inherently silly. But it works.
      Memphis was just full of a ton of creativity and a braveness to be silly for the sake of entertainment, instead of being cowardly and not wanting to risk ridicule if a silly idea turns out to not work. Not every idea worked, but there were more than enough ideas that did work and worked great.
      Wrestling has kind of lost that a bit these days which is a shame. Everyone has realistic names and sometimes they can be spooky but not to the extent that they're dead or supernatural in some way or anything like that. Like for example Judgement Day in WWE or House of Black in AEW. They're basically just goths who like dark themes and stories but they're still just real people. Which is a bit lame.
      The entire concept of pro wrestling is inherently silly, let's be honest. It's a whole bunch of people just pretending to fight. But it's great. And it's great because the characters can be truly larger than life, and if they embrace some of the silliness then it's just a great time, it's more fun that way. I hope wrestling goes back to being more silly. You can still have seriousness, but mix in the odd sprinkle of silliness now and then and the whole show will be more entertaining.

    Deathmatches , spotfests , technical , old school , Kings Road , Strong Style , Lucha , you name it . But to me , THIS is what all wrestling should be based on and like . Add your modern twists afterwards . Just keep it believable as much as possible .

    I have a question about this match.
    I remember when Lawler lost
    this match and he was gone for
    several months.
    If I remember correctly,
    I believe he wrestled in Hawaii.
    But nobody expected Lawler to
    lose a "Loser Leave Town" match
    in Memphis.
    So my question is, does anyone
    know the real reason Lawler was
    booked to lose & leave Memphis ??

      Lawler won this match, and lost the one in 85 , Because, he was getting stale, I can't miss you , if you dont leave . Plus the spike in attendance for several month after returning . It was the last sell out ever in Memphis when he returned .
