November 1, 201212 yr Author comment_5518475 A commercial airs for Bill Dundee's wrestling school with an address for how to get more information. Lawler can't stop laughing at the idea of a Bill Dundee School of Wrestling.
November 5, 201212 yr comment_5518926 Lawler checks to see if Dundee is standing under the table or if he or Dave accidentally stepped on him. Jerry laughs at the idea of Dave Brown asking how "I" become a professional wrestler and laughs even harder at the idea of Dundee training new wrestlers.
November 9, 201212 yr comment_5519409 Anyone come out of Bill Dundee's Wrestling School? Lawler seemed to really get a laugh out of the whole thing especially when Brown mentions he would want to become a wrestler.
November 9, 201212 yr comment_5519425 Todd Morton back in the day, Kevin White a decade or so ago. Otherwise, I have no idea.
November 10, 201212 yr comment_5519552 Lawler is flabbergasted at the idea of Dundee having a wrestling school and Dundee gives a promo towards Rockin Randy who I have no idea who that is.
November 23, 201212 yr comment_5520790 You're not the only one - Dundee seems to have no idea who Rockin' Randy is either, as he seems to be making up a height and a weight for him in the promo, and even a character for the guy, assuming a guy with the name Rockin' Randy will want to fight him. Lawler is great throughout this, first looking for Bill Dundee under the table, making fun of Dave Brown as he's going over details for the school, and then laughing uproariously at the idea of a Bill Dundee wrestling school. Not sure if that was so great for business, but live TV, you know?
December 18, 201212 yr comment_5522973 Anyone come out of Bill Dundee's Wrestling School?Can't believe you guys forgot to mention a certain JC Ice, unless it's so obvious that nobody felt it was necessary to point it out. Weird that Dundee was running his own school around this time, because the Jarretts had their own official USWA school as well. Memphis isn't THAT big a city. Then again, like 90% of wrestling schools are basically some veteran taking a bunch of money from hopeless young fools who never had a prayer of getting in the business, and a territory like this one would certainly produce a legion of starry-eyed teenage boys whose greatest dream was to be a rassler.
April 30, 201312 yr comment_5543423 I believe that Ben Jordan, Terrence Garvin and the Beast (Mark Gulleen) were trained by Bill
June 8, 201312 yr comment_5547221 Some nice put-downs on on Dundee here which are always enjoyable. I'm not familiar with Rockin Randy's ringwork, but he was an entertaining guest on Art of Wrestling.
August 8, 201312 yr comment_5555345 It's great that they framed the ad in that way. I can imagine most promotions would just run it dryly and seriously.
December 9, 201410 yr comment_5644427 It almost seems like the ad for the school was run as part of the never-ending feud between Lawler and Dundee; in other words, something for Lawler to laugh at and insult Dundee over. I'm not saying that the school wasn't legit; it was just strange that the ad was run in that particular context. Put me down as another poor schlump who'd like to know something about Rockin' Randy.
July 18, 201510 yr comment_5685682 "The question I get asked the most is-" "How long can a man live without a brain? How old are you, Dave?" The audience losing it at Lawler's wise cracks really makes these kind of segments even better.
December 3, 20168 yr comment_5777442 Dave Brown says that Bill Dundee is involved in a match Monday night at the Mid-South Coliseum, and Jerry Lawler chimes in ‘is he here? Is Dundee here? Dave says ‘no’, but Lawler tells him to wait and that he might be here ‘look under your feet, you might have stepped on him by mistake!’ Dundee promo and he’s got to face a newcomer called Rockin’ Randy who he doesn’t seem to know much about bar he’s 6’1” and 260lbs. Dundee says that he may only be 5’7”, 205lbs, but he looks at professional wrestling just like he looks at a game of chess; he may not be able to overpower Randy, but at some point he’ll make a mistake and then he’s going to capitalize. Back in the studio and Dave says that one of the most asked questions he gets is, at which point The King interrupts him and says ‘how longer a person can live without a brain… tell me Dave how old are you?’, which garners quite a few laughs from the audience. Dave ignores him and says one of the most asked questions he get is ‘how do I become a professional wrestler?’ A commercial airs for the Bill Dundee Wrestling School with an address and number to contact for more information (‘call 615-452-2167 and you’ll talk to the Superstar who will give you all the details’). We return to the studio and Lawler is in hysterics and thinks that the Bill Dundee Wrestling School must be some sort of joke!
December 3, 20168 yr comment_5777462 Rockin Randy wasnt all that big himself, nowhere near the 260lbs they hyped. He'd done and would continue to do WWF TV jobs under the name Jerry Fox.
