[1994-08-20-USWA-TV] Brian Christopher on crutches

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Leg injury. Softball talk. Buddy buddy with Lance. Were they grooming Brian Christopher to replace Lawler? The heels are out quickly to make fun of him and get in his face before attacking him with his crutch. The Moondogs (as babyfaces??) make the save. Weird.

 

Eddie Marlin responds to all of that by suspending Doug Gilbert!

Christopher gets hurt at a softball or softbrawl game at Tim McCarver Stadium. He ends up getting his X-Rays ripped up and beat with his own crutches. Gilbert gets fined and suspended and his hair matches seemed to have been cancelled.

Christopher gets hurt at a charity softball game and claims an MCL tear isn't serious (which it is). Then Doug Gilbert and company come and beat him with his crutches. Eddie Marlin returns and suspends Doug Gilbert. This was okay, I don't find Doug Gilbert interesting at all.

Was this a legit injury? I can't believe there is a Tim McCarver stadium anywhere. Christopher cuts a good promo and the beatdown by the heel team was nice. Russell being vindicated by Gilbert getting suspended was a nice touch.

Christopher is SOO channelling Lawler here. He's about to explain to us the nature of his torn MCL when he's surrounded by Bowden's group of heels. Gilbert takes a mighty McCarver-esque baseball bat swing with the crutch to Christopher's bad knee and the beatdown is on before the Moondogs make the save. Man, those guys really have lost their edge without Richard Lee. A seething Eddie Marlin suspends Doug Gilbert. Going from "hair on the line for the next 5 matches" to "banned from the USWA" in the span of 1 TV show seems a little rushed, but that's nothing new for Memphis.

Well, yeah.

​Those darned IWA tours kept getting Doug suspended.
