"MAT MAYHEM"

Playing in November of 2003 on iN DEMAND Pay Per View

 

Over the years, the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee played host to many classic wrestling events. Some of the greatest wrestlers to ever enter the ring grappled under the marquee of International Championship Wrestling. The legendary "Mean Gene" Okerlund hosts another classic look back at some of the stars of the ICW in "Classic Wrestling: Mat Mayhem".

 

The action begins with an Anything Goes Bunkhouse Brawl featuring "Wildfire" Tommy Rich and "Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert against Phil Hickerson and The Spoiler. The action continues as the popular tag team of the Fabulous Ones does battle against the Koko B Ware and Norvell Austin, who called themselves, the Pretty Young Things.

 

It is a Hair versus Mask match from BoogieMania ’84 when "The Boogie Woogie Man", Jimmy Valiant, puts his trademark beard on the line against the chiseled Assassin. If Valiant wins, the Assassin must remove his mask. If the Assassin wins, off comes the Boogie Woogie Man’s beard & hair!

 

There is more classic tag team action when Jerry "The King" Lawler and Austin Idol team up to battle the most devastating team in the history of the sports entertainment. Animal and Hawk defend the ICW belts as the Road Warriors, with their manager "Precious" Paul Ellering. See why the Legion of Doom has been called the greatest tag team of all-time!

 

Another classic tag team featured in "Mat Mayhem" is the Rock N Roll Express. Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were one of the hottest team of the 1980’s. They face the real-life brother team of "Leaping" Lanny Poffo and "The Macho Man" Randy Savage. The end of this match presents devastation not seen before this match!

 

The AWA World Championship is on the line when legendary champion, Nick Bockwinkel, travels to the ICW to battle Jerry " The King" Lawler. Lawler strives to prove his sovereignty against one of the greatest wrestlers to ever enter the ring.

 

The main event is a tag team grudge match where the unimaginable happens. Lawler teams with his archenemy, The Macho Man, to do battle against "Ravishing" Rick Rude and the behemoth known as King Kong Bundy. This match is total non-stop action, classic-style. It Gets More Classic by the Minute. 88-minutes. Rated TV-14 V.

I'd check it out, but $10 for 90 minutes is a bit steep.

The last PPV was only 53 minutes for $10, which is REALLY highway robbery. At least they are improving with more time.

 

 

It better be better than the last one too. I don't care to see 8-minutes of freaking Gorgeous George from 1951.

Who owns the footage to these matches?

Probably no one...or whoever owned ICW back then sold the rights to whoevers broadcasting it again.
