[1992-02-22-USWA-TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Lawler at home holding his crown and recapping his feud with the Moondogs. Lawler promos are always great.

[Tim Evans]

And says he's bringing in the biggest dog of them all, The Junkyard Dog. I guess this was between WCW stints for the JYD?

[shoe]

This was another good interview for Lawler. Though the dog sayings can get old after a while.

[MikeCampbell]

Fun promo from Lawler, but I swear he used every sort of play on words with dogs that there was.

[WingedEagle]

Solid Lawler promo where he sells JYD coming in to counter the moondogs.

[PeteF3]

Lawler is bringing in the JYD to counteract the Big Black Dog. Lawler teases that this will be it for the Moondogs in Memphis--good promo but yeah, I'd say that's not likely.

[garretta]

When you have a feud where four of the six wrestlers (counting JYD) consider themselves some type of dog, what do you expect them to reference? Sheep?

 

I kind of like the laid-back Lawler we get outside of the studio, as he tends to scream a little too much for my comfort in front of the public.

 

I'm surprised Lawler didn't mention his own feud with JYD from 1990, at least in passing. Then again, he was so disgustingly racist then that it's probably better that way.

 

I thought we had more Moondogs than Spotty and Spike. Maybe they're coming out of the woodwork later.

 

Just a few years earlier, a six-man featuring JYD and the Moondogs would have been a throwaway "main event" on Superstars or Challenge. Now, it's expected to sell out the MSC. How times change, even in a sport as backwards as wrestling can be.

 

Line of the segment: Lawler asking if the Moondogs go to a doctor or a vet to get medical treatment.

[dawho5]

Lawler with an atypical promo for him, but I liked it nonetheless. Ridiculous amount of dog references or no. I liked the big hype for JYD, even if I think BBD may be more mobile than he is at this point.
