[1991-07-08-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Skinner vignette

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Keirn is done in Memphis. This isn't the worst gimmick I've ever seen, and I could see it eventually becoming something bigger in a perfect world.

Skinner actually mentions his plans for the WWF. Motivation!

In a post-Simpsons world, I can only hear "Skinner" said in Superintendent Chalmers' voice.

I’m eager to see Skinner in WWF and well this wasn’t too awful. He looks pretty serious with the knife. He must have had the hat stuck to his head for when he was going under in the water.

This feels like a let down to me after what we have seen from Kiern in USWA. It is also tough not to look at the finished product of what actually became of Skinner.

[garretta]

Keirn's better and scarier here than he was in his second promo the following week. He actually mentions, and looks like someone whom a wrestler might be scared of. I'll have to wait to pass overall judgment until he actually wrestles, but so far this has legs.

 

Too bad Jake was turning heel soon, as this would have been a natural feud, with Keirn threatening to skin Lucifer a nice place to start.

Keirn comes across as menacing here. Less cartoony than most of the gimmicks in the WWF at the time at least for this vignette.
