Loss Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Ok, so Gilbert and Lawler as Tag Team Partners Who Hate Each Other does have potential, I must admit. That is the direction they are going now, as they have agreed to team to face Embry and Pritchard Wednesday night in Evansville. A pair of excellent promos hyping this. Quote
shoe Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 I think I would have enjoyed a 3 team feud with Gilbert's Memphis mafia , team Texas with Austin, and a Lawler, Jarrett, Dundee pairing. Though the Lawler/Gilbert pairing will be a blast I'm sure. Quote
PeteF3 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Gilbert outright promises chains and possibly fire. Lawler is still sickened by and distrustful of Eddie Gilbert, but will take advantage of Gilbert's underhandedness to take out Embry and Prichard. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Eddie is ready to a fight against Embry/Pritchard. Lawler still thinks Gilbert is the lowest of the lowest but he will count on him to send Embry/Pritchard back to Texas. Quote
soup23 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Good job of the reluctant partners having to come together for the greater good. Quote
garretta Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Great short promos here. It's not often that you see two people who are still presumably feuding take a break from that feud to be partners, common enemies or not. Usually at least a little time passes between the end of the feud and the start of the partnership. Then again, Memphis made its reputation playing by its own unique rules, as they are here. I'm sure almost everyone watching in Evansville truly believed that Eddie was in cahoots with Embry and Prichard to get rid of Lawler, and that might not have been a bad direction to go in had they chosen to do so. I wish we had some clips from this match to see how it actually went down. Quote
dawho5 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 I love how Memphis will bring enemies in line with stuff like this. It has a very different feel than most wrestling storytelling. The Tennessee pride maybe trumping Lawler and Gilbert's hate is such a great story to throw in. Almost like a comic book reluctant team-up now that I think of it. Quote
