Loss Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Lawler does a really good, loud heel promo, which is a nice contrast to his more even keel Memphis stuff. This is a local promo for the 11/27 MSG show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Lawler looked over the upcoming MSG card and sees Bret Hart is not listed. He thinks it is a scheme by Hart and Tunney to have Bret wrestle as Doink the Clown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Goddamned if Lawler doesn't successfully push a comedy undercard match against babyface Doink as being the blood struggle of the century. That's why for all my criticisms of him as a heel, overall he's still a master on the mic. He suspects that this Doink is actually Bret Hart in disguise.

garretta Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm still not ready to say that I enjoy heel Lawler as much as I do face Lawler, but he's been a lot better than I thought he'd be in his WWF promo work so far. I'd rate it far above the suff he did in 1990 Memphis, that's for sure. I take it that whoeverr Doink was by now, it wasn't Matt Borne, and that's too bad. Once he left, I remember Doink as more of a clown who was a wrestler than as a wrestler who happened to dress like a clown. The difference between the two is night and day. I'm guessing that Bret asked for some time off after Survivor Series, which is why he wasn't on this card. I'm a bit surprised that he'd skip MSG, of all places, but that's mostly because Vince is promoting this as a supercard. If he was still running MSG monthly, wrestlers missing months here and there wouldn't be a big deal. This match never took place due to Lawler's legal problems; Shawn Michaels substituted and beat Doink by pinfall. Here's the full result from Graham's site: Shawn Michaels pinned Doink the Clown with the superkick at 8:18 after Doink became distracted by Bam Bam Bigelow at ringside; Michaels came out in possession of his own WWF IC Title belt, with him then telling ring announcer Howard Finkel that he should be referred to as champion but that this is a non-title bout; late in the bout, Luna Vachon came ringside, with Doink kissing her leading to Bigelow coming out; after the bout, Bigelow & Luna double teamed Doink for several minutes; moments later, Bigelow went to hit the headbutt off the top only for Doink to trip Luna and Bigelow hit Luna with the headbutt instead; Doink then returned to the ring and doused her with a pail of water to revive her, with Bigelow then tripping over himself to try to get at Doink as Doink left ringside Four main events on a seven-match card? I understand an occasional double main event, but when over half of your matches are main events, that means that none of them really are.

soup23 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 This felt like a nice sized MSG show they were building to and Lawler adds a lot of intrigue as to just who was behind the Doink persona and the matchmaking in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
