Part 1 of 4. The first and only appearance of Ric Flair in the Memphis studios leads to a NWA World Heavyweight title match versus Jerry Lawler to the delight of Memphis Wrestling fans.
"The Interview"
As NWA World Heavyweight Champion, one of Ric Flair's jobs was to travel to all the territories and have non-title matches with the local champion; putting the local yocal over as potentially having a shot at the belt. So it's business as usual here in Memphis for Ric--same game, different town--but also I think he wanted some TV time with Lawler who was becoming a crossover success with his Andy Kaufman angle.
During the interview, Ric fully exploits the mantle of Heavyweight Champion. His infamous arrogance puts a backhanded twist on every compliment and the fans quickly begin to get the feeling they're being insulted. Oh sure, we miserable fans in this Memphis Wrestling bubble wished to behold and admire the notorious NWA champ, but now... Hmmm. Now we're sort of hoping somebody would come along and shut him down. Perhaps a regal and charming local hero to reclaim Memphis' pride and dignity? (Wink wink.) Nope, not today. How about a yocal with a little poolhall hustle instead?
Date: August 14, 1982

A slightly disheveled Jimmy Hart is determined to settle some "First Family" business with Dutch Mantell this morning! An unusual pair is formed when, out of desperation, Hart recruits the Ugandan Giant, Kamala, with "watermelons and women!" to take care of the Dirty Dutchman for him.
After successfully bribing the simple giant, Dutch simply refuses to fight Kamala. But Lawler steps in to take the challenge, much to the crowd's delight. The inevitable run-in features Beautiful Bobbie Eaton (Midnight Express) and Brown Sugar coming to the aid of Kamala on Hart's order. Terry Taylor (The Rooster) and Steve Keirn (The Fabulous Ones) rush in to save Lawler.
