Hulk Hogan's Debut Vignette! Bobby Eaton Starts A Riot!
Jerry Lawler & Eddie Gilbert's Parking Lot Brawl! Terry Funk
Unhinged! "The Territories: Memphis" DVD/VOD Preview!
"The Territories: Memphis" is already proving to be one of
the hottest DVD/VOD sellers in Pro Wrestling Library
history! If you haven't made your purchase yet, we've
released several preview videos to show you just what you're
in store for!
Hulk Hogan's Debut Vignette
This video was the very first introduction many fans
received to the man who would go on to be Hulk Hogan. But
before Hulkamania ran wild, he was Terry "The Hulk" Boulder,
traveling from territory to territory to try to build his
name!
Bobby Eaton Starts A Riot!
When Bobby Eaton fell out of favor with The First Family, it
led to a handicap match of Bobby actually wrestling Jim
Cornette and Jimmy Hart. The match stipulated if the
managers lost, they would each throw $1,000 out into the
crowd. But when Bobby was wronged, he took matters into his
own hands and decided to re-distribute their funds
himself... and nearly caused a riot in the process.
Jerry Lawler & Eddie Gilbert's Parking Lot Brawl!
Eddie Gilbert had become the top villain in Memphis, but
when he was caught off-guard by a returning Jerry Lawler
looking to avenge his misdeeds, an all-out brawl broke out
throughout the studio and even the parking lot!
Terry Funk Unhinged!
The Terry Funk vs. Jerry Lawler Empty Arena Match is
quotable and memorable for so many different reasons. To me,
an underrated highlight is when Lawler first arrives - in
full entrance attire, including cape and crown, much to the
delight of the.... zero fans in attendance. Funk wastes no
time mocking and threatening the King over this in true
Terry fashion.

“The Territories” is a special multi-volume series that
takes you across the entire wrestling world during the era
of the most tickets sold, active full-time promotions, and
events in big arenas in the sport’s history. In each
installment, we’ll show you the greatest and most high-
quality surviving footage of what made the area so
successful, unique, and talked about to this day!
Today, the office is sending you to… MEMPHIS!
Known for its wild mayhem, over-the-top stipulations, and
colorful personalities, some purists of the time decried
Memphis as just going too far, but in many ways it was well
ahead of its time. What Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler built
in the WMC-TV studios every Saturday morning and Mid-South
Coliseum each Monday night served as a crystal ball to where
wrestling was headed – violence & bloodshed in their most
personal rivalries, personality profiles and music videos to
establish talent, and dozens of future global megastars
passing through their doors. It’s no wonder why Memphis
defied the odds and out-lasted every other territory of its
era. From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, these are the most
unforgettable matches & moments from Memphis’ golden era!
