Loss Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 One of the most memorable segments of this time period to me, as they act like this is a shoot at first, with the camera being set down and Lawler and Bearer not realizing they're on the air and Lawler making all sorts of crude euphemisms about having sex with the Undertaker's mom. This was clever, because it was set up like we were seeing something we weren't supposed to see before getting to something that was obviously angle. After the commercial, Lawler issues what is an obviously forced apology because he says he didn't realize was on the air. Clever. Quote
Zenjo Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 It's not long to wait until the birth of GTV. This was great stuff with Lawler and Bearer shooting the breeze. They actually managed to make the conversation feel like it wasn't staged. Not many guys could've pulled it off so well. It's time to update your log book Loss, we have more vital Undertaker & Kane backstory. The things that happened in that Funeral Home... Quote
soup23 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 One of the better examples of a shoot promo happening and a conceivable way where we can get some confidential information without the people involved in the conversation being aware that we are all hearing it. Lawler's apology afterwards makes this even better. Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted May 8, 2016 Report Posted May 8, 2016 Seen this before. Funny segment. Sounds like the conversations me and my buddies have had. Well none of us have spawned the Devil's Favorite Demon. The set up with the set down camera and then Lawlwr apology was perfect. Taker running down and assaulting Beart during Kane/Goldust was great. Quote
PeteF3 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Posted May 27, 2016 This works better than a typical "shoot" segment because these guys break character in a way without actually breaking character or kayfabe at all. A good bit of inside-television stuff that still gets the proper storyline across. "I wasn't fat like I am now--in fact, Jerry, I was kind of studly!" Lawler and Bearer share a good laugh over how Undertaker's mother seduced virginal young Paul on the kitchen floor of the funeral home, resulting in Kane. Lawler does an "out of character" (again, not really) apology afterward. Quote
TravJ1979 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 Bearer was especially great here. He is such a better manager as red-head Kane mouthpiece than he was as black-haired ghoul manager for Undertaker. Quote
