Loss Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Lawler is out to just pat the territory on the back on having aired 400 TV shows. They mention that they are doing a special "tomorrow", which makes me wonder how they got those numbers. I'm also confused because 400 shows would be one show a week for approximately 8 years and they were airing on WMC-5 on a weekly basis long before 1983.

shoe Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I don't do carny math so my numbers are different than what they got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 DID YOU KNOW? Memphis Wrestling on WMC is the longest-running 90-minute weekly locally produced original-content episodic television entertainment show to have its 400th episode air in 1991?? More episodes than I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, The Simpsons, Meet the Press, Cheers, the entire CSI franchise, and Turn-On combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Jerry and Dave talk about King’s Main Event show about to hit 400 episodes. Ed Sullivan, here we come. Fan got 400 shaved into his hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yeah they way lawler talked about I love Lucy, I expect him to write the did you know every week for Raw. That fan is quickly becoming the Memphis Vladimir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah, just for clarification, this segment is hyping the 400th "Jerry Lawler Show" which did start in '83. The wrestling show on WMC started in 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Nice little puff piece here to celebrate and promote the 400th Jerry Lawler Show, which will air the following day on WMC. I've seen a few of these, and the Kingfish is surprisingly laid back, even when wrestlers he's feuding with are the guests, as they sometimes are. Plus, I've heard that he had quite a few non-wrestlers on the show and wasn't a bad serious interviewer, though I'm guessing that he wasn't exactly Mike Wallace or Phil Donahue either. I liked the fan who had "400" shaved into his head to commemorate the occasion. Wasn't he in the Snowman's posse when his feud with Lawler was going on? I seem to remember someone who looked vaguely like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 That was Ernie, the security guard there at the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
