[1993-10-30-WWF-Superstars] Jerry Lawler as Randy Savage

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Superstars starts off with Jerry Lawler dressed in a Randy Savage halloween costume! He looks ridiculous, which makes this awesome. He then pulls out a broom and suggests it belongs to Helen Hart. Funny stuff.

[Matt D]

Pretty hilarious. Lawler was having a blast with this.

[Kevin Ridge]

Really small glasses with short shirt to match. Lawler using the props to take shots at both Savage and Helen Hart. The green screen was popular in wrestling back in the day.

Lawler is wearing a children's Macho Man Halloween outfit. Classy.

Yes, this was funny, but to what end? Lawler's main WWF program wasn't with Savage, it was with Bret. Even taking into account that they worked together on ​Superstars​, there was no more animosity between them than there was between any other face/heel commentator pairing in the WWF. Lawler should have worn a Bret costume, and if they weren't selling one in '93, he should have made one for himself or had one made, the worse-looking the better.

 

On the other hand, this very costume would have been a huge hit in Memphis, where Lawler and Randy had just finished their program. I can just imagine Dave cracking up when he sees Lawler in it, not to mention the crowd at the WMC studio,

It was just a quick sight gag. Nothing more. Nothing less.

[garretta]

But not a relevant one, and that's the key. People complain that absolutely everything on TV should sell a program or push an issue, then let Vince skate with stuff that doesn't. Make up your minds. There should be no such thing as "nothing more, nothing less". Either stuff furthers an issue or it doesn't, or the people saying that everything should are full of crap. I vote for the latter.

I found this funny and a decent nod to those in Memphis. If you aren't in that demographic no biggie as Lawler is a heel and can dig on the faces of the promotion much like Jesse used to do.
