Loss Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Randy Hales runs down a list of names who will be on the June 23 show, and it's a star-studded one with Kane, Jeff Jarrett, Road Dogg, the Rock & Roll Express and Lawler vs Kane on top. Hales announces that Stacey has been suspended for interfering in matches and they are clearly about to start a feud with Lawler and Hales, even point blank making comparisons to Austin vs McMahon. And just like Austin-McMahon, this is starting off with Lawler as more of an asshole that the crowd still cheers. Lawler ends up slapping Hales and Hales tells him he'll regret it. Wow is Lawler a jerk with no justification here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I kind of like Hales as someone that feel into something he loved and decided to run a wrestling promotion even though it may not make the most financial sense. Hello Dixie. Anyway, Randy hypes that big card and then announces the Stacey suspension. The feud between King and Hales feels really shoe horned based on what is happening in WWF but I will see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 This is not a particularly great use of Randy Hales, unless they want him to intentionally be awkward, like Michael Scott as a wrestling promoter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Get ready to see a bunch of Hales in the future. I will be interested to see if you come around on him as he grew on me at times and frustrated me at other points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I mean, I can see the potential for him as a foil to Lawler, because of the way Lawler sets himself up. Hales is a classic dweeb, and I can see Lawler playing "cool" against him. My guess is that it will be mostly cringe-worthy, but it might well be over with the crowd, since they seem to eat Lawler up regardless.

PeteF3 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yeah, this is a pretty shallow attempt at re-doing Austin vs. McMahon on a minor-league level. Like the others, I can see the appeal in gangly, awkward Randy Hales becoming drunk with power, but as Lawler said...he's no Vince McMahon. This isn't a bad segment but Lawler comes off as way too whiny and heelish here, though that's always been part of his character even as a babyface.

TravJ1979 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hales is best in small doses. This was way too much of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtroma Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Lawler really comes off more like the 1990 heel King than a babyface in this fued. I mean, he really was a spoiled, arrogant asshole. Hales doesnt come off too much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
