Episode 62: Memphis - March 16, 1985 (MACHO MAN WINS GOLD & CAT FIGHT 85!)

Please bear with Ray Russell's allergies during the latest episode of Regional Rasslin' #62 as Guest Gene Jackson returns to talk more MARCH 1985 CWA Memphis Wrestling (3/16 - 3/22/85)! Randy Savage tries to "pluck the eyeball" of Jerry Lawler. The PYT Express are headed to Memphis. Tux Newman joins the Lawler Show. Eddie Gilbert & Lanny Poffo unite. The Wild Hoggs get wrestling gear. Tojo Yamamoto makes his first studio appearance of 1985... and so does Speedy Tall Tree (nepotism at its finest). Debbie Combs & Miss Linda have a Cat Fight to close the program! Plus, Mid-South Coliseum action sees Randy Savage capture the Southern Heavyweight Title from the King, & more!
