Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 14, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted January 14, 2019 Lovely post, the kind this place needs more of! For my cash Bammer looked best in his rookie year, and a lot of that is surely connected that a lot of that year revolved around him and Lawkler as opponents and team mates.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 14, 2019 Jerry Lawler earned every penny didnt he? Not only the top star, but booked the promotion and designed all the artwork. Wore many hats in that territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Lalwer doing so much with so little really is what puts him over the top, for me. He got by on charisma, character and knowing how to manipulate the audience. He could go a whole match without taking a proper bump and still have the crowd gripped. A proper worker.

Sheffbag Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 the black version is on pro wrestling tees. Artwork is credited to Jerry (no surprise) so might have a copyright issue to stick it on some other item. There must be some old ones kicking around somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2019 @zep81That Flair/Lawler angle and match was incredible. Naitch losing his mind at the end. He still hadn't become the Nature Boy we know and love, but it's a great piece of television. I used to love when Jerry would have the mic in the ring with him while he squashed a jobber on WWF TV. He is truly one of the all time greats, and he carried that Memphis Territory for decades because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 16, 2019 One of my favourite Lawler promos was the one after he got beat up by Ken Lucas, whom he'd completely dismissed as an opponent prior to their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Goddamn I love Jerry Lawler. A lot has been said about getting so much out of so little, but there was a time when Lawler was one of the better bumpers in the business. There's a Savage Vs. Lawler match out there, not from the MSC, where Lawler gets thrown out of the ring and just eats the concrete and has stuck in my mind for years. Everything about Lawler is classic pro wrestling, and as good as he is as a heel (and he is), I adore watching him as a babyface. His selling is out of this world gripping, the timing of when he looks to the people and commands their attention and conducts them like an orchestra, the how and when to pick them up for the comeback is superb. And the fire. Fuck me his fire in unreal. The best punch in the business, as many have said - the punch I insist everybody I know who trains to wrestle watch frame by frame repeatedly. Very few things you'll ever see in wrestling are as perfect and beautiful as a Jerry Lawler comeback. This isn't even getting to the fact that's he one of the best promos of all time on either side of the fence. If I get a chance, I want to do a similar write-up like Zep did for some Lawler stuff.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 18, 2019 Author Moderators Share Posted January 18, 2019 It's not just that his punch which is great, it's more the fact he actually has a full range of great punches. Jabs, hooks, overhand rights, bodyshots, punches from the mount. Lawler actually has a full arsenal of strikes which all look great and all used to perfection depending on where we are with the match, whereas most wrestlers have one stock punch and it looks ropey.
