Loss Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Wrestling has missed Buddy Landell. This is tremendous in every way! Horner comes out and they brawl after Landell talks some trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Gotta love that they brawled so much they knocked out the tv cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I wish Landel would have lasted longer in SMW. I know he shows back up in 94ish, but he was so great here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Landell is the lost worker of the 90's. Great promo, excellent worker. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Landell takes some verbal shots but gets sucker punched by Horner. I liked them messing up the audio (we get a nice disclaimer to explain this) during their brawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Landell was really good on the mic. Definitely a lot of untapped potential there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Why couldn't Landell cut loose like this in WCW? After ranting non-stop for about a minute, Landell's "Hey Tim, good buddy, how ya doin'?" completely cracks me up. Horner and Landell knock out the audio as they brawl to the back. The $5,000 is still up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Landell is gold here. Talking all kinds of trash and then when Horner comes up to him, he's all "Hey buddy." Nice touch with the audio going out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Landell claims that Horner got real lucky when he beat him as he had a 115 degree temperature, had already worked the Mayhem Rumble and had worked about 90 times that night! Horner is just angry about the $5,000 as he's never had $5,000 before in his life and he's lucky he's not here now, as if he was he would slap the taste right out of his mouth. Horner then appears from nowhere, drills Landell and they fight around the arena and out the door. There's a nice touch where we lose sound and a message appears on screen saying 'Do not adjust your TV set. The wrestlers have caused an audio problem'. Another great Landell interview and whilst the match quality isn't there yet, I can't imagine there is a promotion with a better array of talkers than SMW at this time in 1992.

garretta Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Is it just me or is that five thousand dollars almost like a title because of how important it is to these guys? Landell is what Corny would be if he was a wrestler. He exaggerates almost everything (working ninety times with a fever of a hundred and fifteen?) and is obnoxious as all hell, but he's so entertaining that you don't mind it somehow. Horner tries, but he's just too earnest for his own good. The day of the quietly humble babyface who doesn't really like to talk and would rather just wrestle has either been gone since Dusty Rhodes turned face or never really existed in the first place, depending on your point of view. Not everyone needs to be a screamer, but the "gee, golly, gosh" routine simply doesn't play in 1992. The brawl was spirited, and I loved the disclaimer, which I've never seen anything like in my life. This may just be the hottest feud in SMW right now despite Horner's deficiencies on the mic, and I want to see how it turns out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Landell really brought it with this promo, then immediately asked Horner how it was going. Whatever deficiencies may exist in the in-ring product in SMW, the promos are absolute gold. Except most of the babyfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
