The Mid-South Coliseum was closed in 2006 for several reasons and has been under threat of demolition ever since. In March 2024, a group of Memphis leaders have announced the formation of The Coliseum Conservancy to save the Coliseum because of its historic significance.

The Coliseum Conservancy’s foremost goal will be to raise the approximately $25 million that studies have determined will be needed for preliminary work to reopen its doors to the general public, bringing the venue up to ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards, removing and repairing seats, adding railings, improving locker and press rooms amenities, making needed roof repairs, and wiring the building for wi-fi.

This wonderful news has been well-received by Memphis Wrestling fans who have fond memories of the historic venue.
