Loss Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Joined in progress. Savage busts Lawler open and works over the cut until Lawler makes his patented comeback. Sherri climbs over the cage and hits Lawler with something. The two of them work over Lawler, and she delivers a big low blow. Finally, Lawler makes his own save when Sherri accidentally hits Savage. She tries to run away by climbing back over the cage, but Lawler pulls her dress down and exposes her lingerie to everyone. Lawler chases her up the cage and nearly strips her to nothing before she takes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 What was shown was pretty entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I just figure there would be more heat though. Lawler watches Sherri climb up the cage and then turns his back to her. She ends up getting stripped of her clothing. I think that is her big cage match spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 A little disappointing and awfully one-sided in favor of Savage, as Lawler is mostly content to lie around and get beaten on. I still think Savage vs. Bret had way more legs as a WrestleMania main event than what we got, but that's without the benefit of knowing what Vince and Hogan's plans were regarding the Heavyweight title. How can a match not sanctioned by either the WWF or USWA have the Unified title on the line? Anyway, Sherri climbs the cage and interferes for a cheap DQ but does a great beatdown on Lawler afterward, until she accidentally clocks Randy and gets stripped to her underwear, complete with almost fully exposed boob, in the process of escaping the cage.

WingedEagle Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Basically punching and a blade job by Lawler. Nothing special here but its no worse than their stuff from the 80s. Then we get to the highlight as Sherri climbs the cage during Lawler's comeback and she interferes for a cage match DQ. A couple low blows before he ducks a shot and she nails Savage and he rips her dress off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I got to say I was extremely disappointed by the clips here. After the hot angle in studio, this was a one sided beatdown by Savage and both guys felt pretty generic in their action. I know its tough to gauge one match but this felt like a big money match for the promotion and I feel they didn't deliver at all. Sherri doing her routine and getting stripped on the cage is entertaining like usual but this felt like the wrong place. Most disappointing thing of 1993 so far.

garretta Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 This match represents the downside of interpromotional feuds. Even if they'd wanted to, the USWA couldn't put the Unified belt on Randy because he was committed to broadcasting Raw on Monday nights. I'm not even sure Vince would have let him work on the nights a taped Raw aired, in order to present the illusion that even the taped episodes were live. On the other hand, Savage didn't come all the way to Memphis to lay down for Lawler and never be heard of again, so the Kingfish couldn't pin him clean either. And on the third hand, this feud had so much buildup and so much past history that the fans had to be promised a war to end all wars. Put all three of those conditions together and you get what we saw, which was the USWA taking the entire selling point of the match (non-sanctioned, anything goes) and throwing it out the window. Even as a regular cage match, this was bad, but the DQ on Sherri would have at least been explicable. But ending a (so-called) no-rules, do-whatever-the-hell-you-want match with a pedestrian DQ after having Lawler rather lethargically take a one-sided pounding for the whole thing is just plain asinine. Uniless you got a thrill out of seeing Sherri stripped, these was nothing in this match to be recommended at all, and I didn't. As much as I hate man-on-woman violence and have railed against Papa for using it, if there was ever a time to have Lawler piledrive Sherri, this was it. She had it coming as much as she ever did, and she would almost certainly have taken a piledriver if asked. If she wouldn't, or they didn't want to go there, just have Lawler pop her in the jaw one time, not even hard. She rolls to the floor, Lawler runs off Savage, and everyone goes home at least content. Can you imagine what the old-timers who remember the original Lawler-Savage feud had to be thinking after watching this? They were probably rooting for the two of them to get into a fight on Superstars (which they should have, even if their previous history with each other was ignored) and were certainly looking for a spirited bout here. Even with the ludicrous booking, we should have at least had that. Why Lawler mailed it in on this of all nights, I can't say. Did he think letting Randy have almost all of the offense would keep him in Vince's good graces? Why should that have mattered? Was Vince even paying attention to what was going on in Memphis at this point? If this was all we were going to get, WMC should have aired one of the classic bouts between these two during Randy's original run and left it at that. It would have made everyone concerned look a hell of a lot better than they should have after this mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
