Posted August 16, 20178 yr comment_5810857 I feel like this is a board where this tidbit of news will brighten some people's days. Here's all we know at this point, believe me I've searched, a quote from Lawler on his latest podcast. "“We did a pilot episode of our classic wrestling show here in Memphis. And it got picked up! September 9, we are going to get Bill Dundee back in the studio and we are going to shoot the first episode of Jerry Lawler’s Classic Memphis Wrestling. The Memphis wrestling that everybody grew up here in Memphis watching Saturday mornings. That’s going to be a weekly show coming up in Memphis on Channel 30, CW 30 here in Memphis.” Lawler and Dundee being on local Memphis TV on a weekly basis just brings a smile to my face. I have no idea if it's just highlights or if they're going to tape any new stuff. Of course we'll have to be on the lookout for whether or not any classic stuff we don't have emerges.
February 11, 20187 yr Author comment_5831992 It's now going to be weekly on - wait for it - Saturday mornings!! http://www.cerritolive.com/cerrito-live-podcasts/exclusive-jerry-lawler-announces-memphis-wrestling-is-returning-to-saturday-morning-tv/ We need to find somebody in Memphis to tape this thing in case something new pops up.

February 12, 20187 yr comment_5832061 It's funny that we don't have anyone from Memphis in the community despite all of us loving Memphis Wrestling so much.
February 12, 20187 yr Author comment_5832077 It's funny that we don't have anyone from Memphis in the community despite all of us loving Memphis Wrestling so much. What do we do? Try to find someone on Twitter who's watching this and send them a few bucks a month for them to send it to us?

February 12, 20187 yr comment_5832083 Would it be absurd to reach out to the production company? They might be willing to sell digital copies?
February 12, 20187 yr Author comment_5832099 Would it be absurd to reach out to the production company? They might be willing to sell digital copies? I'm game for anything! I'll do anything for Memphis footage, it's a ridiculous obsession at this point
February 13, 20187 yr Author comment_5832201 If Bix takes down Lawler does that help or hurt our chances of seeing the Memphis TV that Cornette is sitting on that needs to be seen by the public.
February 19, 20187 yr comment_5832713 Lawler was on Busted Open Radio and revealed some more details. "What I've started back on our local CW station in Memphis is a show called 'Jerry Lawler's classic Memphis Wrestling'. It's just a show where I try to have a guest on every week that was from that era and show their matches. If you remember, there was a show called 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000'. That's the type of project we were doing. We were doing updated commentary on the matches. It started in April, and we are moving it to Saturday morning's at 11am, which is the same time Memphis Wrestling was on back in the day. It won't be live matches. We will show classic matches with updated commentary."
February 19, 20187 yr Author comment_5832753 We still need it in case something new shows up. I created a Reddit account and did a post offering money to anyone who would send me shows, did the same thing on the Observer board, no response, I guess the next thing is Twitter.
February 20, 20187 yr comment_5832856 Dumb question, but regarding reddit, did you just try r/squaredcircle or did you by chance try r/Memphis? Maybe a non-fan or someone without the show on their radar at the moment would be willing to help.
