Loss Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Jerry Lawler finds a guy in the crowd proposing and is hilarious in handling everything. Lawler advises one of them to get everything he can in their name, and Savage hilariously agrees. Mr. Bob Backlund is born and does a great (you know what I mean) promo.

Kevin Ridge Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Lawler takes some great shots at Savage who can only shake his head at this. Lawler is fantastic here. I love how Backlund stares into the camera when he does his promo which is good. Don't like Vince and Savage talking over Mr. Backlund though.

Exposer Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 This was a tremendous segment. Lawler harasses Savage and then finds a couple with the boyfriend proposing. He brings the chick in the ring and she says yes then harasses her about her nose and her future marriage. Backlund is the guest on the King's Court and he cuts a great promo on the New Generation and says he should be champion. Great stuff.

soup23 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 The pre Backlund stuff was really great and felt like something that wouldn’t take time to bother with today but showed how much of a jerk Lawler could be. I also liked Backlunds promos during this era as he really presented being an out of touch person that snapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I believe, don't hold me on this one though, is that Lawler got into some trouble over this one. I heard the girl got some lawyers involved over the insults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Surely the couple were plants. The King used to be so much funnier in his early WWF days when he was an out and out heel. And talking of funny, it's Mr Backlund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 If these guys are plants, they picked an odd part of the crowd to put them, as Lawler and the camera have to crawl through the crowd to get to them. Lawler completely blows the introduction by introducing the girl as the dude's "girlfriend, fiancee--soon to be fiancee." Yeah, that killed the suspense. Aside from that, Lawler drops too many one-liners to count, then makes out with the girl. Lawler's special guest: the WWF CHAMPION! The man who never lost the title. Backlund attempted to BOON OUR LIVES as champion--physically, mentally, nutritionally, and financially. Vince and Savage need to shut up, because Backlund pretty much knocks it out of the park in his first attempt at a heel promo, pissing the crowd off mightily. Awkward at times, but with Mr. Backlund awkwardness is a feature, not a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
