[1990-02-24-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler vs The Destroyer

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Lawler runs out, spits water in Destroyer's face and pummels him. Water make Jerry Lawler very angry. He throws him into a studio ladder and then finishes the job. It was supposed to be a Chris Champion squash that Lawler took over. If you like angry Lawler, this is the episode to check out.

Destroyer is scheduled to wrestle Chris Champion, but he's obviously in no condition to compete so Lawler comes back out to vent some more frustration. He takes it easy on Mr. Not Dick Beyer, content to use a stepladder on him for a bit before pinning him with the fistdrop.

Lawler finishes off the tv episode by subbing in for Chris Champion, making short work on the destroyer, then ruining the only piece of the studio not used with a ladder to inflict more damage.

Almost feels like a letdown after the chaos that has erupted over the previous segments, but still a nice squash W for Lawler.

[Kevin Ridge]

No Champion due to being taken out by Lawler in previous segment. Lawler makes another appearance puts the Destroyer away pretty quickly. Jerry was all over this episode of USWA.

[Laney]

Lawler is still steaming over the water incident and he makes short work of The Destroyer. This was a good end to the USWA stuff for this date. This show did a great job of putting over Lawler and makes me want to see his match with Valiant.

[JerryvonKramer]

This is very much the Jerry Lawler show isn't it. If there's any doubt about it, Lawler is still pissed off about having the water thrown over him.

[garretta]

The King finishes the job on the Destroyer that he began on everyone else. Maybe he was just tired after beating Champion half to death, but he's a lot more subdued here except for a brief segment with a stepladder. Next stop: The Boogie Woogie Man.

This episode has been great. Lawler as a roving marauder totally enhances the joking around he does, and vice versa.

[GSR]

The Destroyer was scheduled to face Chris Champion but that isn’t going to happen due to what happened earlier. Jerry Lawler is back out, gets in the ring and spits water at The Destroyer and takes Champion’s place in the match. Not as much of a beat down as previously, but a squash that Lawler wins after a fist drop off the middle turnbuckle. Despite being a full on heel in this episode he’s still got a section of the audience cheering him on here.
