[1990-06-06-IWA-TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

A clean-shaven Lee Marshall, sans weasel jokes, is in Florida interviewing Jerry Lawler. Lawler does the standard promo about not being a company champion.

[PeteF3]

Standard Lawler spiel about company championships, but he isn't too eager to defend the title against anyone Lee Marshall names as a challenger.

Good stock Lawler promo for a new audience.

Lee Marshall with no mustache. Not right. Lawler will put his title on the line against anyone in the world.

I wonder if there was a tense conversation between Lawler & Marshall over Stagger Lee's burial of the king on AWA TV. I have a feeling that the first thing Lee said on sight was a weaselly "Verne told me to do it!" Lawler was probably like "oh, Lee. Didnt recognize you without the mustache. Grow it back you fat-faced, chronic masturbator looking fuck. Now, lets get these promos over with. Gawd, this backdrop is ugly."

[Cox]

Lee Marshall looks fucking weird clean shaven. What is an IWA anyway?

[garretta]

Nothing we haven't heard before from Lawler, but a nice introduction to him in a new setting.

 

Lee didn't look too bad when he was the ring announcer at Mania 2 in Los Angeles with no mustache, but the clean-shaven look doesn't do him any favors here whatsoever.

Hahaha what?! Lee Marshall! No mustache, in Texas, and he's not singing the rejected state song, Yellow WEASEL of Texas.

It’s Lee Marshall! A very similar interview to one he’s done in the USWA talking about the Unified World title. All the other champions are just company champions and will only wrestle people in their own organization. He on the other hand is the Unified World champion, and that means that any wrestler from anywhere in the world can come in and take a shot at it. He’s open to all comers, will take on anyone and invites Marshall to name someone. Marshall reels off Kerry Von Erich, Steve ‘Gator’ Keirn and finally Brickhouse Brown, but ‘The King’ doesn’t seem overly keen on any of them and just says that they know his door is wide open and all they have to do is put their name on the dotted line and he’ll beat them 1-2-3.
