Loss Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Lots of feeling out that doesn't really go anywhere. I'm glad this match was on the set for the novelty of it, even if it's not that good. The match was kind of a backdrop to build to a Rich heel turn.

Tim Evans Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Rich was already a heel as he turned a couple weeks before this. Also this was his 3rd match of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 If he was heel prior, why were he and Lawler still doing handshakes and wrestling like sportsmen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not much of a match. It's clearly an excuse to create two feuds, though - Lawler for the belt, and Lawler/Gilbert. In that sense, it works well enough. Â I wish the cameraman had actually filmed Doug's run-in, though. I do agree with Loss that his antics pre-match don't feel very heelish, though the prev week's show sure made him seem like a heel against PG13.

Jack_Briscoe_Is_My_Hero Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 OK little match, but people these days would be screaming at a promotion having a title change in a little over 5 or 6 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbaugh Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The best part of Memphis TV is how they go from one angle to the next in the same show -- crash TV can work if done right. Of course when you have guys who can actually talk it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Well, I still think the title changes they did in studio show lessened title. Not much of a match with Gilbert hitting Lawler with the chain allowing Rich to win title. They played it up like Rich didn’t know what happened with Gilbert/Lawler.

soup23 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I liked how they started out as weary friends at the start of these and each took more shortcuts towards the finish until the blatant Doug Gilbert interference and the crowning of a new champion in Rich. I thought this was pretty fun and had some great punches while it lasted. (**1/4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Some good basic stuff here, though Rich is in Memphis stall-o-rama mode. Just as this gets going, Doug Gilbert clobbers Lawler with a chain and Rich captures the USWA Heavyweight title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
