BS With Honor #37 (Part 1)
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Jam-packed would be a good word to describe our 37th outing, which kicks off with a preview of this Friday’s show in Connecticut. We then discuss this weekend’s inaugural TV tapings in Philadelphia, and all sorts of TV-related issues. Finally, we run down some of the possibilities for Ric Flair’s impending debut and [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 100
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Match #100: Koko Ware vs. Ric Flair (11/18/85) Hell yes! Flair in Memphis. This is an arena match from Memphis. Dusty Rhodes, fresh off his win in the bunkhouse match, is at ringside as an adviser to Koko Ware. Flair is bother, of course. It starts basic and slow paced. They trade hard headlocks for a [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 99
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Match # 99: Jerry Lawler, Dusty Rhodes & Magnum T.A. vs. Ole Anderson, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard (11/18/85) The Four Horseman are in town, and Crockett has sent Dusty and his protégé to join Lawler. It’s a star studded gimmick match extravaganza. Bunk house match is jeans and t-shirts coming right up. They start with [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 98
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Match # 98: Bill Dundee & Sherri Martel vs. Koko Ware & Candi Divine (10/26/85) A mixed tag match featuring the ladies. Sherri would become famous after her AWA run as Queen Sherri with Macho King Randy Savage, and later in WCW managing Harlem Heat.
Memphis Diaries: Match # 97
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Match # 97: Koko Ware vs. Masked Superstar (Jerry Stubbs) (10/26/85) This is a studio match with Ware as the babyface. Stubbs was also in Mid South under a mask as Mr. Olympia. He was also an early partner of Arn Anderson.
Memphis Diaries: Match # 96
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Match # 96: Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee (10/19/85) This match starts with an angle. Tag team poster boys are in studio doing a promo and mention Dundee and Lawler. Dundee comes out saying that the Lawler/Dundee team can be the Fabs and they need a match. The Fabs politely explain to they weren’t challenging [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 95
Sunday, February 22, 2009
Match # 95: Jerry Lawler vs. Rick Martel (Nashville 10/12/85) This is for the AWA World Championship. It’s from an area in Nashville and the video quality is actually excellent. Jerry Calhoun is your referee. Lance Russell helped out doing the arena announcing. The crowd is up for this. That combined with Lance Russell on commentary [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 94
Sunday, February 22, 2009
Match # 94: Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee vs. Tom Pritchard & Pat Rose (10/12/85) Pritchard give a pretty amusing promo beforehand about the Armstrong Brothers. I don’t believe it has anything to do with this match, but he had a wet towel he pretended he’d been crying into. Guess you had to be there.
Memphis Diaries: Match # 93
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Match # 93: Rock N Roll Express vs. Ivan Koloff & Krusher Khrushchev (9/30/85) Rock beats scissors, and appropriately enough, Rock N Roller Ricky Morton’s speed beats muscled up Russians (fake ones too). They play with the speed vs the power throughout the match, making for a good concept. The Russians keep switching because in [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 92
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Match # 92: Jerry Lawler & Austin Idol vs. Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy (Badstreet Match) (8/12/85) So they were having a return match after all. I’m puzzled as to the finish of the last tag match these four had, but I’m glad the Birds are back. They got “their” match, too. Dug the last [...]
BS With Honor #36 (Part 2)
Thursday, February 19, 2009

Disk 6 Rankings 1. Randy Savage vs. Jerry Oski (5/7/85) [WARMACH-11] 2. Jerry Lawler vs. Randy Savage (Loser Leaves Town) (6/3/85) [WARMACH-14] 3.

Memphis Diaries: Match # 91
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Match # 91: Fabulous Ones vs. The Sheepherders (Cage Match) (8/6/85) After Mid South I thought I’d finally gotten away from having to hear “Born in the USA” as agood guy theme. I was wrong. The Fabs are fighting evil New Zealanders, and a cage is the only way to settle it. Someone call Springsteen [...]
BS With Honor #36 (Part 1)
Sunday, February 15, 2009
Ring of Honor is back up north after Proving Ground weekend, and both Florida shows are this week’s main topic of discussion. We also run down some news from the HDNet deal, including the puzzling music situation and a potential equipment snafu. [display_podcast]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 90
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Match # 90: Jerry Lawler & Austin Idol vs. Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy (8/5/85) Hell yeah. The Freebirds in Memphis. This was not their famed first run there, but a quick heel of the month stop in. And as we all know, if a big heel stops in for a week or two in [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 89
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Match # 89: Fabulous Ones vs. The Sheepherders (Boyd & Morgan) (6/22/85) The Fabs are the AWA Southern tag champs. We’ve got the original Fabs here too. The Sheepherders are not Luke Williams and Butch Miller, but a similar team with the same basic New Zealand gimmick. The Fabs do a promo and invite the [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 88
Friday, February 13, 2009
Match # 88: Jerry Lawler vs. Randy Savage (Loser Leaves Town) (6/3/85) These men actually had many matches throughout the first half of 1985 in Memphis. Savage was something of an early Brian Pillman Loose Cannon-type character at this time, terrorizing Japanese photographer Jimmy Suzuki and Lance Russell during different times at the studio show. [...]
Memphis Diaries: Match # 87
Friday, February 13, 2009
Match # 87: Jerry Lawler vs. Bruiser Brody (5/20/85) Now this is a big time monster of the week. Brody is your import this week to the Mid South Coliseum for Lawler to hulk up on after absorbing a beating. We’ll see if the story lends itself to a decent match up.
