How did they not get sued for this? Cowabunga is watching TV, but doesn't have a remote control. He turns on wrestling and gets excited. I can't figure out what he's watching, but it's Lawler in a cage match, so I'd probably be excited too. The hand of Splinter (!!) makes a cameo and he warns Cowabunga that he is about to face his most difficult fight with evil - Jeff Gaylord! Tremendous.

Cowabunga is called away from TV where he's been gushing over Jeff Gaylord's muscles, The Bold and the Beautiful, babes, and a Jerry Lawler match before being called away by Splinter, who declares that his greatest battle against evil--JEFF GAYLORD--is at hand. Fascinating. God, I hope Splinter appeared at ringside.

If my teenage mutant ninja turtle got excited by shows like The Bold and the Beautiful, I'd have told him to turn off the TV too. At least he passed on Santa Barbara (which was actually carried by WMC the then- and current-NBC affiliate in Memphis).

 

So many bad dudes in Memphis and Jeff Gaylord is his first target? You might want to teach him to aim a little higher, Splinter.

 

Let's just hope that whatever matches we get out of this guy are better than his vignettes and promos.

Cowabunga is flicking through the TV channels trying to find something to watch. He sees a bodybuilder (which reminds him of Jeff Gaylord the Great), The Bold & The Beautiful, a lady in a swimsuit (‘that’s totally bodacious!’) amongst other shows before finding the wrestling, which is ‘totally radical dude!’. There is a cage up and it looks like it’s the WWF, until Cowabunga points out that it’s Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler (who appears to be one of his favourites by the way he’s cheering for him). His Master calls him, over but Cowabunga doesn’t want to move as he’s watching Jerry Lawler on TV. His Master says that Cowabunga is about to face his most difficult battle in the fight against evil, Gaylord the Great! He is strong and powerful, and Cowabunga must learn to strike hard and fade away without a trace!

 

I still don’t know what to make of this. Poor Jeff Gaylord though, he has gone from challenging for the Unified title to seemingly feuding with Cowabunga in the space of a week!
