[1990-01-27-USWA-Memphis TV] Angry Jerry Lawler

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Lawler shows pictures to prove that he knows celebrities. There is one of Rodney Dangerfield and one of Art Modell. He promises video footage of himself and Christie Brinkley next week. He is quite angry about his reputation being soiled. Dave Brown got him worked up!

The photos do look legit, if nothing else.

Dont know how this turns out but I can imagine the christie Brinkley photo may be coming next on the Hoosierdome big screen after the Liz/Flair photos.

So how pissed does Lawler get at his good friend Art Modell when he moves the Browns out of Cleveland? Lawler feeling like he doesn't get enough respect for having big time celebrities like Dangerfield as his good friends.

[Cox]

Who does Dave Brown think he is, anyway? Questioning whether or not Lawler is actually talking to these celebrities...he's the motherhumping King of Wrestling!

This is pretty awesome, Lawler is a big fish in a small pond trying to prove what a big star he is and Dave Brown is sceptical.

 

This Brown / Lawler double act is something I'm very glad to have seen.

[Laney]

Lawler is pissed that people don't believe he talks to celebrities so he has pictures to prove it. Fun promo with Lawler making a bit of an ass out of himself and getting under the crowd's skin. The photos looked legit.

Jerry Lawler and Rodney Dangerfield. That is beyond amazing.

[garretta]

I liked the photos, and since Lawler's a legit Memphis celebrity, it makes sense that he'd get photo ops with guys like Rodney Dangerfield. As for Art Modell, it almost looks like he might have been a guest on The Jerry Lawler Show at some point, since Jerry's holding a mic in the picture we see, and I'm sure his Browns fandom was well known in Memphis. Of course, now that he's a heel, we're supposed to ignore things like that, and Dave does a fine job at it. A nice little slice of Memphis cheese.

I cannot wait until next week's Christie Brinkley pictures. What is the context of Jerry Lawler interviewing Art Modell or whatever he was doing there? Very bizarre. Dave Brown's really got his foot in his mouth over this one.

[GSR]

Lawler wonders if Rodney Dangerfield has called him yet? Dave Brown says that he hasn't and doesn't expect him to either! Lawler says that Dave is such a sceptic and that he probably doesn't believe he was talking to Art Modell and Christie Brinkley last week, to which Dave replies that he doesn't. Lawler says that he has proof that he knows these people. He shows photos of himself with both Rodney Dangerfield and Art Modell and says that next week he will have video tape footage of him with Christie Brinkley.

 

Dave Brown is great here again and the interplay between he and Lawler is wonderful.

[dawho5]

Brown and Lawler both knock this out of the park. Imagine if the USWA had some real money behind it.

[Stiva]

Seriously, Lawler and Brown are a fantastic pair. I could watch them squabble all day. "Has Rodney Dangerfield called yet?" is yet another fantastic one-liner in the rolling sitcom that is USWA
