Loss Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 A precursor to the Mr. McMahon stuff. Vince does an amazing heel promo. He hypes the cage match against Bret Hart at Mid South Coliseum, which oddly enough took place the night before Summerslam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Vince does a heel promo very convincingly. He spins things from what happened at Coliseum. Was not happy with being booed during his introduction. Bret Hart versus Jerry Lawler in a steel cage. McMahon could have been a great manager alone.

PeteF3 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 God, Vince is such a natural. Yeah, it's a "duh" statement in light of Mr. McMahon, but Vince had clearly wanted to do this for awhile. This Sunday (because of SummerSlam on Monday), Lawler meets Bret in a cage. Vince laughs over Lawler's empty-hearted promise to refund the MSC's money if he didn't hospitalize Paul Neighbors, and then dares Lawler to make the same promise if he can't defeat Bret in the cage on Sunday. I seriously wonder how many people in Memphis immediately became Bret fans upon the announcement of this stip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 What a great heel promo from Vince. Everything you think of him in the 1998 role was using this as the starting off point. I love the dynamic of this feud currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 There seems to be so much more on the line in Memphis concerning this feud than in the WWF. I used to think it was just Lawler, but Vince sounds like he's taking the Memphis portion just as seriously. I can't get over the contrast, and I'll bet the Memphians who watched both halves of the feud play out couldn't either. Vince is so much better as a heel promo when he doesn't raise his voice. I know it was easier for him not to do it when he was in front of a green screen than it was in an arena full of fans, but Mr. McMahon is more effective this way than he was screaming "YOU'RRRREEEE FIIIIIIIRRRRRRED!" all over the place. He probably thought the louder, more bombastic version was necessary for the national stage, but he was dead wrong. That version made me roll my eyes and groan; this one sends shivers down my spine. If it wasn't for Corny, and if he'd appeared at ringside more than once this year so far, Vince may have been my choice for Manager of the Year.
