This is a homage from their debut 1982 feud....classic repeat....they actually captured the same intensity slick talk....and sneak jabs while complimenting each other
@@bryanhawes1782 I truly believe that he had Ric Flair's number in that match! Ric Flair had clearly underestimated Jerry "The King" Lawler...& nearly lost his belt because of his arrogance! Jerry, though, got so caught up in the moment, that he must've temporarily forgotten that The NWA Champion Belt only changes hands Via Pinfall or Submission. Flair got himself counted out, though, so technically that doesn't count as a submission, although it should, whether it be back then, or now!
Love Love Love these 2 , this is how you do promo’s!!! You know, Ric Flair and Jerry Lawler were not the biggest guys physically,, but man they drew money because they knew how to work it. I miss the territory days it was much more guerrilla style WWE has turned into a very slick product in the modern day, they are missing the down and dirty territory style promos and performance of yesteryear
That slickness that you talked about is something that is needed back in not only WWE, but in every Wrestling Organization today! Heels were heels, faces were faces, and the aura of hatred between the two factions felt so real! That is, until the now infamous "Curtain call" of 1996, when, at the end of a Steel Cage match between Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash, all four participants were hugging each other after that match. That was a horrible blow to Kayfabe. It has never been the same since!
I love how these two kept it kayfabe even though Vince just several years earlier announced it was sports entertainment. I can't stand the losers today who disregard it disrespecting the history of pro wrestling by treating it like a reality show; it's so sickening! RIP WCW, NWA, AWA, UWF and of course the king of them all - the WWF!
Geez, Jerry is so cool and chill , and easy going here. When he called the matches during the attitude era he should of changed his name cuz he was a friggin clown. Seriously , they should of changed his gimmick from Jerry The King to Jerry the JESTER. They messed that up lol
Clearly they filmed it on a WWF set, but was this for an independent show? I can't remember seeing David Flair in WWF. The continuous reference to Nashville also aren't very McMahon-like, as he would be having them say the name of whatever event it was, not just the name of the town.
David was used in the build for Flair's match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania XVIII. David was training at the OVW training center when 'Taker bursts in and beats the hell out of David to try to get Flair to wrestle him.
Bert Prentice...now there's a name I haven't heard mentioned lately. Is Mr. Prentice still alive, and doing ok? I hope so. He was actually one of the better heel personalities in that area. He could've given many a WWF Manager plenty to worry about. He's that good!!!
Because this was when the WWE was in agreement with Memphis wrestling and Jerry Lawler was a commentator on Raw part time and he would wrestler in Memphis part time development for talent kind of like NXT for example
I didn’t mind him as a kid, but as I grew up that changed. The whole Muhammad Hasan “all Muslims who don’t like people being prejudiced against them are terrorists” thing really turned me off.
He had two sons. David wrestled for a while in WCW but didn't really have much talent. His other son Reid also wrestled on the independent circuit. Reid passed away a few years ago of an apparent drug overdose. Rick was actually the one that found him and called 911.
