Loss Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Tremendous match, one of the better Memphis studio matches you'll ever see. They kept the show wide open anticipating they would go long, since these two had a 60 minute draw the previous Monday night at Mid South Coliseum. The match probably goes about 30 minutes in real time, with about 18 minutes shown here with commercials edited out. Great finish, as referee Frank Morrell fakes a heart attack as Lawler is about to win the match! Lawler goes to check on him, Jeff schoolboys him, and suddenly he's fine and does a fast count, giving Jarrett the USWA title. Well worth seeing.

shoe Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 This was a great studio bout with Lawler just throwing some awesome punches. What is the payoff of Morrell faking the heart attack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not sure if it's on the set but Morrell became Jeff Jarrett's new Roadie with Tony Falk and Ronnie P Gossett. It didn't last long as Jarrett left the promotion and Frank turned babyface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteF3 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 There are better studio matches on the Yearbooks but this is a very good one--I loved Lance's little breakdown of just why Lawler's punches are so effective. Very Mid-South-ian set-up here, with the "special TV time" and "standby matches." The finish isn't quite as Mid-South-ian but pure Memphis instead, as longtime referee Frank Morrell starts a heel turn by helping Jarrett regain the Unified title with a conveniently timed heart attack.

soup23 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I think this is the studio match of the 90's for me unless Im blanking on something. I loved the way they teased the whole hour and then we do get a bit of an upset with a pin at the halfway point of the show where it comes as a surprise but we still had a ton of match. Morell faking the heart attack was done well and the crowd bit on it big time. I love Memphis when it is like this. ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Really good match, total presentation even better. Great angle to play off the previous 60 minute draw. Both guys look good on the match, and they even work in one of the most cutting edge spots of 2017 wrestling: the countout tease! Good kind of screwy ending.
