[1995-01-21-USWA-TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Dundee is in a suit and looking quite dapper! Dundee says he has the secret to beating Sid -- everyone tries to fight him, and you can't fight him. You go the distance, tire him out and beat him. Good to know. They show a clip from Mid South Coliseum of Lawler getting DQd for having a chain hanging out of the back of his tights. I guess he was framed.

 

Jerry Lawler is out and points out that Dundee is the one that brought the chain into the match. Dundee, in a funny moment, asks how that can be, considering that the referee found it on HIM! Dundee wants another match with Lawler, which Lawler says is fine, but not to lie about bringing the chain into the ring. He says had Dundee told him to come to fight, he would have been prepared for the chain.

 

Lawler recaps the history of their feud and puts Dundee over. Dundee tells him they can fight when Lawler gets tired of fooling around with the Mickey Mouse organization up North. This gets the studio crowd solidly on his side.

 

These two are gold together.

This was pretty good. I laughed when the security guard came running over cause Lawler was getting mobbed by the Kids. When did Dundee get his first face lift? Was it in 94 after leaving WCW?

Great segment, as one would expect with these two. The image of Dundee wrestling Sid is so hilarious that I hope to God that it actually happened. They seem to be teasing a Dundee heel turn, but not going all the way with it just yet--you expect Lawler is telling the truth that Dundee introduced the chain, but they're careful to leave some ambiguity and the possibility open that Dundee's actually in the right. Contrary to the popular perception of the Superstar in Memphis, we're 5 years into the '90s and aside from his WCW hiatus Dundee has been a babyface the entire time.
