It's a most hilarious edition of Regional Rasslin' this week as Guest Gene Jackson returns to talk more Memphis 1985 with Ray Russell. The duo have even more fun than usual... Plenty of laughs as well as your typical Memphis history lesson as they talk the week of March, 23, 1985. SWEET DADDY SIKI arrives to the CWA and turns babyface in record time! The PYT Express are in studio, find out which is the "Pretty Young" and who is the "Thang". Jerry Lawler seeks revenge and the return of his Southern Title from Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Speaking of "Mach", Savage presents his newly won belt on a silver... or rather a GOLDEN platter! But it doesn't end there as Randy proceeds to have the most SAVAGE of squash matches against poor David Johnson. From there, Stan Lane shoots on ring rats. Tux Newman continues to impress (or is it DE-press?) with his questionable comments. Harley Hogg may have SHAT himself. Tommy Gilbert's droopy mask. Speedy Tall Tree busts out an Undertaker dive (that nobody sells). ALL OF THAT, and so much more.... it's LAUGHS GALORE this week!
