[1990-06-13-IWA-TV] Interview: Jerry Lawler

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Well, Lawler still has the Unified title in Florida. Lawler is in town to hype an upcoming match with Kerry Von Erich. A lot of the lines we've heard before, but some of it doesn't get old.

[PeteF3]

Lawler cuts the same dinosaurs/mind-readers promo he cut on Mike Awesome, a promo that applies almost too perfectly to Kerry Von Erich. I do like that Lawler puts over KVE as a physical specimen and points to the brains as a point of difference between the two, rather than just talk about another incompetent opponent who couldn't beat anybody.

Glad it was mentioned that Lawler at least in this promo gives Kerry props for his physical nature. The same jokes we have heard before were being presented to a new audience.

[Kevin Ridge]

Lawler was all over the place. He will be facing Von Erich in the IWA for the title. Jerry is on a dinosaurs kick. Well Jurassic Park novel did come out in 1990.

[ajtroma]

As did the Henson Company's "Dinosaurs". Hey, I liked it.

[Cox]

Lawler's stock muscle man heel promo.

[garretta]

Another one of Lawler's go-to promos delivered to a new audience. Sometimes it's hard to remember watching all these promos in a row like we do in this Yearbook that there were actually people who hadn't heard them before.

I'm having a hard time keeping track of Lawler's feuds and titles and alignments.

Lee Marshall says that it is going to be Jerry Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich one more time. Marshall is ecstatic about that but ‘The King’ is not. He’s sick of seeing Kerry Von Erich; he sees him in his sleep, every time he looks over his shoulder he’s dogging him wanting another shot at the World Heavyweight title and now he’s even following him to the IWA. He then cuts the same promo on him that he did on Mike Awesome earlier in the Yearbook where he compares him to a dinosaur, even down to the mind reader only charging him half price line. He is the undisputed Heavyweight champion and he will remain that!

 

It’s interesting seeing the interviews for different markets and how Lawler cuts the same one in different places for different people.

Lee's reaction to the mind reader joke is great. Guess he hadn't ventured over to Memphis territory earlier.
