Loss Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 Shawn Michaels is poolside saying he has heard Jeffrey Jarrett has issued an open challenge, and that Memphis doesn't deserve a star of his calibre coming in, but that he'll do it anyway, just to teach Jeffrey Jarrett a lesson. Shawn is awesome here. Quote
Phil Austin Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 I misread this as being a WWF promo, so it shocked me to hear Shawn talking about Jeff Jarrett here before I realised it was on USWA TV. Love all the WWF/USWA interaction pre the 'big angles'. Quote
KB8 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Shawn is gloriously obnoxious, from calling Jeff 'Jeffrey' to the way he even chews his gum. And sitting poolside with the Intercontinental belt is fucking great. I've seen a bunch of early 90s douchebag Michaels promos, but I don't remember any being this good. Quote
shoe Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 This was great and the gum chomping put it over the top. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 I too thought it was a WWF segment at first and was confused about this Jeffrey Jarrett guy. Shawn being obnoxious is more fun in 93 than 96. Quote
PeteF3 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Posted November 19, 2013 Pure WWF style promo for Memphis television. Michaels makes sure to chew his gum as loudly as possible just to take this over the top. Quote
WingedEagle Posted December 23, 2014 Report Posted December 23, 2014 Michaels promo sitting at the pool talking about Jarrett challenging the IC Champion. Promo isn't anything so great, but he's already got awesome heel presence. Quote
soup23 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Watching the early Raws, Shawn was pretty hidden besides some stuff with Tatanka that didn't really inspire me. Nice to see him branching out and doing more interesting stuff here in USWA going after Jeffrey Jarrett. Quote
garretta Posted July 3, 2016 Report Posted July 3, 2016 Whose idea was it to do that split screen? It really distracted me from the promo, and it had nothing to do with Jeff or the upcoming match; it was just a random Michaels video package that they could have shown at any other time. It's a shame, because Shawn is at his cockiest here and deserved everyone's undivided attention. This promo makes me wish that the WWF acknowledged Memphis within the body of its own shows. Shawn making an open challenge for Mania and having Jeff come out of the crowd and take him to the limit sounds so much better than a match with Tatanka, especially if the USWA is mentioned prominently. Of course, that would have meant explaining why Lawler's such a jerk on WWF TV and a hero in Memphis, but I'm sure Vince would have figured out something. Were the WWF guys in Vegas for Mania already, or did they just shoot this promo by a random poolside? Either way, it was an inspired choice. Quote
