I remember those guys. Memphis was like the "proving ground" for pro wrestling. You almost had to go through there to make it big. Macho Man was there, as was Hulk Hogan for a brief period. So were the Road Warriors, my all-time favorite tag team! I saw the the Road Warriors take on Lawler and Austin Idol in a tag team match at Rupp Arena. The Road Warriors were HUGE.
