Clip from last week's TV where Dutch Mantell gets in Stacy Carter's face about Lawler losing at Mid South Coliseum. She tries to slap him and he accuses her of "domestic abuse"! Lawler is out to break this up and they have a pretty spirited impromptu match with some great brawling and Dutch in street clothes. Dutch ends up whipping Lawler with Shoo Baby but takes off when Lawler starts making a comeback.

 

"I don't know what's wrong with Dutch Mantell. I think all that hair must have gotten tangled around his brain!" -- Lance Russell

 

Dutch sends in a taped promo explaining his side of everything and makes clear that Lawler doesn't intimidate him. This WWE Actor Wayne Keown has still got it!

We're just about nearing the end here--Larry Burton had already run off Dave Brown and temporarily ran off Lance Russell, which was explained on TV as Lance refusing to work with Dutch Mantell. Mantell took the opportunity to repeatedly show clips of him beating Jerry Lawler in 1982, then attempted to impose his will on Stacy before Lawler makes the save. A really good, heated brawl breaks out, which ends with Lawler and referee Downtown Bruno getting the Shoo Baby treatment. Dutch sends in a video promising to embarrass Lawler in front of his few remaining friends. It's definitely a throwback, to-the-well feud that in some ways is just as bad as WCW rehashing Piper and Hogan, but Dutch and Lawler are far more compelling in their old age than Roddy is in his.
