McMemphis: Chapter 6 - The Heel Debut in Memphis

If Bret Hart going heel in Memphis was shocking this was absolutely jaw dropping.

Again, you have to put this in context. August 23, 1993. Vince has never been acknowledged as anything more then the WWF's lead announcer. 20 years worth of just being a commentator. Most fans didn't even know he owned the company until the early 90's. Suddenly, he's getting booed out of the Mid South Coliseum.

The match here is a stretcher match between Jerry Lawler and heel referee Paul Neighbors. But make no mistake, the confrontation between Lawler and Vince was the big draw. About 3,600 showed up for this match, the Memphis crowd since the AWA title switch in 1988. Great historic stuff. This aired on the August 28, 1993 USWA program.
