Legends of Memphis

[Travis605]

I'll get around to posting my Legends fed one day, but listening to Cornette and was writing up results for my Memphis fed and thought "why not most the results"


Legends of Memphis 1 (March 21, 1977)

Jerry Jarrett opened the show to tell the fans the promotion has broken away from Nick Gulas, but will still be bringing fans the same great action every week. Jerry Lawler interrupted by saying if it wasnt for him, Jarrett would still be getting Gulas coffee every week. Lawler then made a challenge to Bob Armstrong who came out to answer it, but said lets see how the better man is by facing off in a Stretcher Match.


Lawler tried to talk his way out of it, but was providing a distraction as Porkchop Cash and Plowboy Frazier attacked Armstrong, laying him out. Lawler then said he’ll accept Armstrong’s challenge.


1) Mike Stark defeated Pat McGinnis with the SHINANUMAKE


Fatigue 
Mike Stark - 3

Fatigue

Rock Hunter brought out the Bicentennial Kings for an interview with Lance. Hunter claimed there is already a bidding war between Jarrett and Gulas since they are the greatest team in wrestling, but since there is no tag competition, they may just take the tag belts and leave. This brought out Bill Dundee and Tommy Rich, who made a challenge to the champs. Hunter laughed at the challenge, saying they’re nothing but two pretty boys and not to be taken seriously, but will accept it. Hunter added that they better win the belts tonight because it may be their last shot.


3) David Schultz defeated Jim Garvin following the FLYING CORKSCREW ELBOW


Fatigue
Jim Garvin - 2
David Schultz - 0

Lawler brought out two of his henchmen, LeRoy Brown and Ratamyus. He said for weeks, Gorgeous George Jr has been mouthing off trying to get him to face him in the ring, but he has to know he’s not on his level. Lawler continued that if George can find a partner that can trust him, he’s got two men to face off against them. George came out and said he does have a partner - Tommy Gilbert.

7) Southern Champion Rocky Johnson defeated Plowboy Frazier following a backbreaker


Fatigue
Rocky Johnson - 0
Plowboy Frazier - 1

After the match, Johnson gave Lawler’s Army a warning that he’ll be watching the stretcher match and no one had better think of interfereing in the match because its going to be the best man wins

Legends of Memphis 2 (March 28, 1977)


Jerry Lawler and Plowboy Frazier came out to an interview with Lance Russell to brag about Lawler taking out Bob Armstrong with Lawler adding that Frazier softened up Rocky Johnson and he’s going to take the Southern Title tonight.



This brought out Johnson who told Lawler they have plenty of time to battle it out one on one, but since he and his Army like to gang up on opponents, he went to Jerry Jarrett to have him sign a tag team match. Johnson then brought out his partner, Bob Armstrong. Armstrong told Lawler he couldnt get the job done and tonight he and Rocky will send either him or Frazier to the hospital.


1) Pat McGinnis defeated Jimmy Garvin with the BEARHUG


After the match, McGinnis kept on the BEARHUG until referee Jerry Calhoun threatened to overturn the decision. McGinnis began arguing with Calhoun, which gave Garvin time to recover. Garvin then dropkicked McGinnis from behind, sending McGinnis over the top rope and crashing to the arena floor

An irate Rock Hunter and the Bicentennial Kings stormed out and began yelling at Lance to get Dundee and Rich out after they stole their tag titles on the last card. Hunter claimed they have an immediate rematch clause in their contract and demanded to face Dundee and Rich tonight for the Southern Tag Titles. This brought out Dundee and Rich who gladly accepted the rematch.

Dundee and Rich didn’t hesitate and decked Hunter and brawled with Condrey and Hickerson

4) LeRoy Brown defeated Tommy Gilbert following forearm blows across chest

When you play matches online do you simulate the matches or play each match individually? Or do you create a card?

[TTX]

Love all Memphis stuff. Going to enjoy reading this fed.

Absolutely. I used to sim some, but I found on some CACs, a tag on a move won’t work. Plus, I like to use the (ch) stuff, so I can feel how a match is playing out

(I also use some house rules that you can’t incorporate in the sim)

[Travis605]

Legends of Memphis 3 (April 4, 1977)


Jerry Lawler and his Army came out to open the program. Lawler said tonight is the night the Southern Title returns to its rightful owner as he gets his shot at Rocky Johnson. Rocky Johnson came out to answer his challenge, but Lawler told him better step back because he’s outnumbered.


This brought out Jerry Jarrett. Jarrett stated while he can’t do anything about Mickey Poole, since he has a manager’s license, the fans have paid for a Southern Title main event and if anyone from Lawler’s Army interferes in the match, they’ll be suspended and Lawler will be fined. Lawler was livid at this ruling.



1) Ratamyus defeated Jimmy Garvin by countout after stabbing him with a sharp object outside the ring

Fatigue

Robert Gibson - 1, Tommy Gilbert - 5

Dr Frank - 2, Igor - 0


Bill Dundee and Tommy Rich came out to discuss losing the Southern Tag Title. Dundee encouraged Rich to sit out due to his injury, that they have time to go after the tag titles. Rich refused to sit out due to the injury and wants a shot at getting the Southern Tag Titles back. This brought out the Rock Hunter and The Bicentennial Kings who mocked them, saying Rich was a wounded lamb. Hunter said the Kings will eventually get the chance to get Rich in the ring and they’ll zero in on that injury and will exploit it and make him quit not only the match, but wrestling for good.


3) LeRoy Brown defeated Mike Stark following forearm blows across chest.


Poole grabbed Stark’s foot, which provided the distraction to help Brown score the pin


Fatigue:

Mike Stark - 3

LeRoy Brown - 0


Gorgeous George Jr came out and said while he wants his shot at Lawler for kicking him out of the Army, Porkchop Cash was his most trusted partner while in the Army and wants his shot tonight. Cash came out and tried to back out of the challenge, but the fans egged him on, which caused Cash to accept the challenge


4) Porkchop Cash defeated Gorgeous George Jr after the 2ND ROPE KNEE DROP (and with his feet on the ropes)


Fatigue

Gorgeous George Jr - 1

Porkchop Cash - 0


David Schultz was irate, claiming Paul Orndorff tried to cripple him by slamming him on a steel chair.

Schultz took exception to the comment and berated Russell until Orndorff ran out to make the save



5) Paul Orndorff defeated David Schultz by disqualification when David Schultz nailed Paul Orndorff with a chair

Fatigue

Bob Armstrong - 0

Plowboy Frazier - 2



7) In a No Disqualification Match, Southern Tag Champions The Bicentennial Kings beat Bill Dundee & Tommy Rich when Phil Hickerson pinned Tommy Rich after a back elbow smash


Rich was obviously hurt coming in, so Dundee did his best to fight the champs 2 on 1, but their skill was too much and they got the better of Dundee, overwhelming him with double team moves until Rich finally got the tag. His injury proved to be his undoing, as he also fell prey to the Kings


Fatigue

Bill Dundee - 0, Tommy Rich - 0

Dennis Condrey - 0, Phil Hickerson - 0


8) Southern Champ Rocky Johnson defeated Jerry Lawler by disqualification after the PILEDRIVER

Fatigue

Rocky Johnson - 3

Jerry Lawler - 1

[TTX]

Cool to see the Kings retain their belts. Not a good night for Lawler and his buddies. Really enjoying Dr. Frank and Igor's surprising success so far.

It’s going to be interesting . I hate to see the Gibsons get bear, since I was such a fan.

Legends of Memphis 4 (April 11, 1977)



Jerry Lawler was irate coming out, saying it was bias that Jerry Calhoun called for a disqualification in his match with Rocky Johnson. Lance Russell reminded him that the PILEDRIVER is a disqualification in the area and it was obvious he used it (Lance then showed the clip). Lawler was irate and began berating Lance until Rocky Johnson came out and told Lawler he doesn’t fear the PILEDRIVER and in fact, has asked Jerry Jarrett to make it a no disqualification match. As Johnson walked off, Lawler attacked him. Lawler went for a PILEDRIVER, but Johnson backdropped him and clamped on the BOSTON CRAB until Lawler’s Army ran in. Lawler, crying in agony, claimed Johnson tried to break his back.


1) Mike Stark defeated Pat McGinnis by countout


Fatigue:

Mike Stark - 6

Pat McGinnis - 0



Ricky Gibson came with Robert Gibson and Tommy Gilbert. Ricky said while he’s not cleared to wrestle, he’s going to be in the corner of his brother and Gilbert to counteract any interference from Mickey Poole.


2) Robert Gibson & Tommy Gilbert beat Dr Frank & Igor when Robert Gibson defeated Dr Frank by disqualification


Mickey Poole threw in a chain to Frank who hit Robert Gibson. Ricky Gibson ran over and decked Poole which resulted in a huge brawl.

Fatigue:

Jimmy Garvin - 0

Ratamyus - 1



Rock Hunter and the Bicentennial Kings came out to brag about once again beating Bill Dundee and Tommy Rich. Lance pointed out they had injured Rich and Dundee was basically fighting them 2 on 1. Hunter scoffed at the rebuttal, saying Dundee and Rich were using the injury as a cover. Hunter then offered Dundee and Rich one last chance. If they can win at least 1 of 2 singles matches against his Bicentennial Kings, they’ll get another shot at the Southern Tag Titles.



Jerry Lawler came out with Porkchop Cash. Lawler claimed for weeks, Gorgeous George Jr has been wanting a shot at me after he kicked him out of his Army. Lawler claimed in all honesty, George isn’t worthy to step in the ring with him, but will give him a chance. If he can beat Cash, he’ll get a shot. Russell reminded Lawler he better be concentrating on Rocky Johnson since he was laid out earlier and looked as if his back was injured. Lawler snapped back and told Lance to mind his own business, his back is fine.


4) In a Grudge Match, Porkchop Cash defeated Gorgeous George Jr following a falling hammer.


George had his foot on the ropes, but Mickey Poole quickly pushed his foot off the ropes before Paul Morton could see it. George was irate at the lost opportunity, attacked Cash and gave him a POWERSLAM on the floor. George then got a hold of Poole, but Frank and Igor ran in and attacked George.


Fatigue

Gorgeous George Jr - 4

Porkchop Cash - 3


(Porkchop Cash injured 3)



Lance brought out Paul Orndorff and the attack by David Schultz on him with a chair. Orndorff claimed he was brought out to be a tough, but fair competitor and when a scumbag like Schultz has to bring a chair in the ring, then it drives him over the edge. Orndorff warned Schultz if he brings in a chair tonight, there will be hell to pay



5) Bob Armstrong defeated LeRoy Brown after the GEORGIA JAWBREAKER



Fatigue

Bob Armstrong - 2

LeRoy Brown - 3





6) Phil Hickerson defeated Tommy Rich following the LEAPING LEGDROP


As referee Jerry Calhoun was distracted by Rock Hunter, Hickerson belted Rich with a chain and threw it back to Hunter. Bill Dundee ran in and tried to explain what happened, but Calhoun claimed he didn’t see it. Hunter laughed at Dundee, telling him he has one shot left or they will never see another shot at the Southern Tag Titles.


Fatigue

Tommy Rich - 2

Phil Hickerson - 0


7) Paul Orndorff defeated David Schultz after the BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX


As referee Paul Morton was knocked down, Schultz ran out to grab a chair. As he went to deck Orndorff, Orndorff ducked and kicked Schultz and clotheslined him. Orndorff picked up the chair, momentarily contemplating on using it, but threw it out of the ring and gave him the BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX for the win


Fatigue

Paul Orndorff - 0

David Schultz - 2





8) Dennis Condrey defeated Bill Dundee following the FACEBUSTER

Fatigue

Bill Dundee - 5

Dennis Condrey - 0

Legends of Memphis 5 (April 18, 1977)


Lance Russell brought out Rocky Johnson to congratulate him on defeating Jerry Lawler on the previous card and telling Johnson he may be one of the few wrestlers that has the Kings number.


This brought out Lawler all alone. Lawler claimed he’s sick of people claiming he needs his Army with him all the time and has ordered them to stay in the back. Lawler then told Johnson whatever he wants, money, special stipulation, whatever it is, he wants another shot. Johnson laughed off Lawler’s challenge, telling him he had his rematch and he’s got other challengers to face. Lawler began berating Johnson, calling him a coward when all of a sudden the Bicentennial Kings ran out and attacked Johnson. Lawler told Johnson he told him the Army was staying back, but worked out a deal with Rock Hunter. Just then Bill Dundee and Tommy Rich ran in to drive off the bad guys.

Ricky Gibson came out with Robert Gibson telling the fans he’s cleared to wrestle on the next card, but for now he’s asked Jerry Jarrett for a special stipulation: to be handcuffed to Mickey Poole during Robert’s match versus Dr Frank

Fatigue:

Robert Gibson - 0

2) LeRoy Brown & Ratamyus beat Jimmy Garvin & Mike Stark when LeRoy Brown pinned Mike Stark following the FLYING ELBOW DROP

Poole grabbed Stark’s foot, causing Stark to turn his attention to Poole, giving Brown the opportunity to go on the attack and scare the pin.


Fatigue:

Jimmy Garvin - 1, Mike Stark - 1

LeRoy Brown - 3, Ratamyus - 4


Lance brought out Rocky Johnson, Bill Dundee and Tommy Rich. The trio agreed that men like Lawler and the Bicentennial Kings are running roughshot, it's up to get them in one place and take them out which is why they’re challenging them to a six man tag match


3) Igor defeated Tommy Gilbert with the CLAW HOLD


Mickey Poole distracted Gilbert, causing him to run out of the ring to go after Poole, but this gave Igor the opportunity to strike and attacked Gilbert by busting his head into the ringpost, busting him open, leaving him easy prey for the CLAW HOLD


Fatigue

Tommy Gilbert - 3

Igor - 0


Lance brought out Paul Orndorff and told him he could be the hottest wrestler in the area by a string of impressive wins. Orndorff thanked Lance for the compliments and told him he was working his way up to try and earn a title shot. Plowboy Frazier interrupted and told Orndorff he’s the immovable object and people have to get thru him if they want to get to the top. Orndorff gladly accepted the challenge and as he turned to leave, Frazier attacked him by placing him against the ringpost and squishing him.


4) Gorgeous George Jr defeated Porkchop Cash with the POWERSLAM


George Jr grabbed the mic and told Lawler he’s coming from him.


Fatigue

Gorgeous George Jr - 0

Porkchop Cash - 1


David Schultz came out and was angered he wasn’t scheduled for a match, wondering if the promotion was trying to drive him away since they knew he could take the title off of Rocky Johnson given the chance. Bob Armstrong came out and told Schultz it’s time to shut that big mouth of his and the two began a brawl, prompting Paul Morton to call for the bell and start the match


5) Bob Armstrong defeated David Schultz after knife edge chops


After the loss, Schultz attacked Armstrong, but Armstrong quickly fought back, giving him wicked lefts and rights and one last punch that sent Schultz flying over the top rope

7) Bill Dundee, Southern Champion Rocky Johnson & Tommy Rich beat Southern Tag Champions The Bicentennial Kings & Jerry Lawler when Rocky Johnson defeated Dennis Condrey by disqualification
