Talk about it here.

A blood-stained Eddie Gilbert comes back out later in the show, flanked by Dick Slater. Gilbert looks like he's been through hell. Awesome stuff, and good interview.

"Mr. Excitement"? Slater is an odd fit for Memphis, but cuts a good heated promo. Eddie Gilbert is the New King.

Gilbert cuts another short and sweet promo and Slater said he has never been a former anything.

Slater is dressed so casually compared to everyone else who was wearing suits on this episode.

I liked how Slater cut Eddie off in the middle of his boasting and told him not to count on anything except possibly getting hurt during the tournament. It almost seems like they were trying to set up Slater as some sort of mentor figure for Eddie, at least temporarily.

 

Slater does a nice to-the-point tough guy promo, with Eddie making only a cameo at the end. I'm not sure why Eddie brought Slater out, now that I think of it. Surely they could have established any kind of mentor relationship between Slater and Eddie at some other time than right before the big tournament.

 

Nice to see Craig on the desk with Dave. Too bad the arrangement (apparently) doesn't last long.

Awesome visual here. Good promo, but a great looking image.
