@stro how much do you know about Memphis wrestling?

Not an expert, but enough. What do you need to know?

I got caught in a youtube rabbit hole. and now I'm trying to see how Randy Savage went from heel invader feuding with jerry lawler, to teaming up with him to fight Jimmy hart's 1st family. also how did rick rude end up on their side too.

Here's what it seems like to me:

Jimmy Hart had been managing Rick Rude for some time already, Macho was wildly popular despite being a heel and feuding with King. Bundy and Rude destroyed King's car, which then led to a tournament for a new car. In that tournament, Savage lost to Rick Rude in what I have to assume was due to Jimmy Hart or Bundy turning on Macho. The next week on TV, King promised his revenge on the whole First Family by himself, but later in the show Macho claimed HE was going to be the one to take out the Family all by himself. So the show ends with the First Family beating down King until Macho made the save and a promo where they still admitted to hating each other but they hated Jimmy and the First Family more, so they would be teaming up to take them out.

Somehow, by the end of the year, Rude was teaming with Savage and King.
Macho would then turn heel again at the start of 1985 to resume the feud with Lawler before heading to WWF. Rude would leave for Florida at the start of 1985.

Some of them. I think I only got up to July 1984 and this stuff all went down in August/September 1984.

watching Hog Wild 96 and while Im sure Harlem Heat are the Heels vs The Steiners,I cant help but feel a touch of them vibes amongst them Bikers

I watched Summerslam 02 for what I'm pretty sure was the first time and it was a great show. The card was stacked with talent, all the matches were pretty good and the crowd was on fire during the main event. It was crazy hearing the crowd be so anti-Rock/pro-Brock. I know Brock was literally the next big thing but hearing so many people chanting "Rocky sucks" was crazy

Watching a 97 RAW before Mania 13 where Bret is saying shyt and god damn with no censor

Rock was leaving to go to Hollywood. So NY played themselves yet again. They stayed loyal to Lesnar..just watch WM XX.

Yeah that crowd reaction was something else. Ran the whole gamut of 50/50, mostly for Rock, mostly for Brock, 100% anti-Rock, mostly anti-Brock, and back and forth multiple times.

Breakdown 98. Not sure if i've ever watched this show all the way through

A touch? That was one of the most racist crowds you could make especially in 96

The next year HH faced Buff/Norton and were still booed
