[1991-02-23-WCW-Power Hour] Danger Zone: Ron Simmons & Teddy Long

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Teddy Long is so delightfully obnoxious in showing off his PWI Manager of the Year award. They are teasing a Simmons turn, as Long is talking about partying, "Soul Brother" Butch Reed is absent since he is deciding between a Mercedes and a Rolls Royce, and Simmons would rather talk business. The jobber he is scheduled to face jumps in, the match gets underway and we cut out.

A interview segment designed to illustrate the fundamental difference between Simmons and Reed. A face turn is teased for Simmons.

Teddy's parading of the PWI Manager of the Year Award is getting to Owen Hart Slammy levels. I'm all for it, particularly since he'd have gotten my vote. Simmons brings up his college football credentials and is all about hard work and business, while Reed is out buying cars. The face turn is imminent.

Nice touch with Teddy bringing his PWI Manager of the Year plaque to the ring. Jobber attacks Simmons but we don’t get to see Ron’s full response.

This was the first evidence on the yearbook that Doom's run is coming to an end which saddens me.

This is all they built Simmons' turn on? Reed wasn't even there, for heaven's sake. If Dusty wants to push Simmons as a single because Reed wants to join the rodeo, fine. But at least give us more reason to care beyond one interview where Simmons brings up his college football career. We don't even get any cross words between Simmons and Peanuthead.

 

I hope the actual turn (which I'm checking out next) was better than the "buildup" to it.
