Maclin fell out with Lawler – who also gained notoriety as foil to comic Andy Kaufman – and the two became embroiled in a trademark lawsuit over the name “Memphis Wrestling.”
Maclin was a sports anchor for a Memphis television station for more than two years, and worked for the Memphis Rockers basketball team of the WBL and the Memphis Hounddawgs of the ABA.
