[1993-06-14-WWF-Raw] Interview: Razor Ramon

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Razor has upped the amount to $10,000 to get Kid back in the ring.

 

Razor: "McMahon, with this kind of money, you could get that personality transplant you've been wanting."

[Kevin Ridge]

I like how Kid sat back while Razor kept upping the amount of money he would put forward for the rematch.

Razor has been getting more mic time than anyone else in the company. I like Vince prompting the crowd at the beginning to start the chants.

Razor ups the amount once again but Kid is being savvy with this and letting him work himself into a bigger frenzy and therefore offer more money.

Hall really got off some good lines here. Loss already mentioned the one about Vince's personality transplenat, but another sharpie is "Kid, with this kind of money, you could afford to buy a life." It doesn't read like a whole lot, but Scott's delivery makes it a classic.

 

Was it the plan to name Waltman the 1-2-3 Kid from the beginning, or did Vince just pick up on the crowd's chants after he beat Hall? It's a wonderful name regardless, and it fits much better than Syxx did in WCW or X-Pac did when he came back to the WWF.

 

Amazingly enough, I'm starting to hear some cheers for Hall, even as most of the crowd still mocks him. It's rare that a loss actually increases a wrestler's popularity, especially in the years before the Attitude Era, but that's definitely the case here.

 

The rematch should be happening before too much longer; I think ten thousand was the magic number that got Waltman to sign a contract,
