[1995-04-15-USWA-TV] Jerry Lawler vs Bill Dundee / Bill Dundee and Tommy Rich

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Tommy Rich shows up at ringside and raises hell, which Randy Hales hates. They get in an argument on the house mic with Rich flaunting his ticket in Hales' face. What little is shown of the match looks pretty inspired. After a ref bump, Rich jumps over the guardrail and pushes Lawler on top of Dundee, giving Lawler the YOU-nified title.

 

After the match, Dundee grabs Rich from ringside and throws him in the ring. Rich takes a few nice bumps before Rich pulls something out of his jeans and hits Dundee with it.

 

Back to the studio, Dundee is out for an interview. Rich has now cost him matches against both Lawler and Razor Ramon, and he's not happy about it. They're about to have a First Blood Match at MSC, and almost on cue, Rich is out. They smack each other around a little bit, and have a fun brawl.

 

It's a shame the nature of the footage is what it is, because based on what I've seen so far, Rich is having a fantastic year.

Rich is in full Big Don mode here. It's kinda sad that a Dundee/Lawler match ends in a weak punch and ref bump. But yeah this was all about Tommy Rich being awesome yelling at fans and running.

and Razor Ramon

Please tell me footage exist of this...

1995 Tommy Rich was awesome.

Good action that we see, and a good finish with Rich getting involved just enough to make a difference, but not running roughshod over the guys in the ring. Rich ends up bloodying Dundee after the match, and naturally that leads to a First-Blood Match for next Monday. After the studio brawl, Dundee says he wants Rich in a loser-leaves-town cage match.
