[1994-01-08-SMW-TV] Music Video: Dirty White Boy

Talk about it here.

Great video, with a song perfect for the Dirty White Boy gimmick. These serviceable guys who aren't going to be big names, but can get over as regional stars, can work and can talk have suffered the most from the consolidation of power/monopolies in wrestling.

The Foreigner song, right? I remember reading and reading about his programs in SMW and it was quite shocking to see him wasted with such a stupid minor character in WWE.

This is actually a different song, and one I feel like I should know but don't. Too lazy to go back and Shazam it.

After watching a ton of SMW recently DWB was a real standout. He could work, and talk. He was such a strong talker you feel if given the opportunity he could have gotten over in WCW or WWF. I know he didn't have a great look, but man he was a great talker. SMW was filled with guys who's careers got killed because of a lack of the territories. Fun music video. Not a great one but good.

[Exposer]

Dirty White Boy's punches rule. And so did this video.

Just echo everyone else here that this was a real fun video that did fight DWB character well.

SMW sure had a good editor, because it's a super efficient old-school wrestling video. Having real music always helps too.

[PeteF3]

Good-looking action. DWB is justifiably renowned for his promos and his southern brawling, but as this video shows there was quite a lot of offensive shit he could roll out, too.

Isn't that the case and my god is he such a strong face promo as well! Didn't know what the song was for this so cheers Kevin. Just the Dirty White Boy kicking a lot of ass and throwing his awesome right hand as he goes.

I liked how they threw in just enough footage from Tony's heel days to remind fans that he was a mean asskicker regardless of whetther he was cheered or booed. Other than that, this was mostly about his feud with Lee, including a couple of matches that I don't believe made the '93 set. I'm not sure about beer drinker, since he doesn't do that oin camera, but the word "hellraiser" fits Tony to a T.

 

Interesting that we see Kim in a few shots, but no Ron. I'm guessing he was out of the picture, selling the effects of the attack Brian and Tammy had made on him a few weeks before.
