Sports Entertainment might seem like a relatively new idea, but long before Vince McMahon was shamelessly ruining the sport of kings, Memphis was mixing pop culture and pro wrestling. Somehow the crew in Memphis usually managed to make it work better than they do today, but this clip of Adam West showing up AS BATMAN is pretty sureal. Check out the full story as we take a look at Batman versus Jerry Lawler
Enjoy! |

Did they wrestle or just talk it up? I would like to see West go toe to toe with someone.

They didn't wrestle. They just used the Saturday morning show to promote their appearance at the Auto Show. The Auto Show was a bigh deal. We even had RoboCop one year. Ha!
Memphis Wrestling was the shit, and Jerry Lawler was a BRILLIANT business man. Anybody who was anybody in the 80's came through Memphis. It was always funny how Lawler would be the hero. Then when he got bored with that, he'd decide to shake things up and go heel and work with Jimmy Hart. The fans ate that stuff up.
