The King Could Go Right Insane, Cause He Can't Buy The Time

Jerry Lawler/Brian Christopher v. Precious/Derrick King WFW 6/2/12-EPIC

Derrick King travels the south ruling it at professional wrestling. He is a master at the old school Memphis style wrestling match, and here he is working opposite Brian Christopher and the GOAT Jerry Lawler and it is awesome. Precious is a black guy working a purple wigged exotico gimmick, and is a fun stooge with pretty good punches. Christopher looked good too, although the money stuff was obviously Lawler v. King. They square off early with King taking a Rock level crazy bump on a stunner. They have a longer section in the end which feels like a classic Lawler v. Dundee style matchup. DK is throwing hands and Lawler gets fired up right back. Finish is pretty great with Precious smashing Christopher with a not in 2012 chair shot. A contender for MMOTY, Memphis MOTY.

ER: I think this is a legit contender for MOTY, not just Memphis MOTY. This may be the best Brian Christopher match ever (this or the '93 Jarrett match), the Lawler/King segments are somehow even better in practice than you would assume they'd be on paper. One of their jab exchanges was one of the greatest punch exchanges I have ever seen. Every person in the match has a battle to see who can take a better looking backdrop. Precious wrestles exactly how Vicki Lawrence wrestled in the Mama's Family wrestling episode, but with better punches. This match is just awesome, amazing stuff

Jerry Lawler v. Dutch Mantell NWA-ME 7/1/12-SKIPPABLE

Not much of a match, Dutch may not have much left. We get a long monolauge from Lawler to start where he talks up how he and Dutch are 244-244 in records (it is a Lawler shtick, he did the same thing with Dundee), and how this would be the ultimate tie breaker. Match doesn't come close to living up to that lofty set up. Dutch spends a lot of the match putting on an armbar, until we get a big schmozz ending with the fake Sheik manager. A couple of Lawler punches, but not much else.

COMPLETE AND ACCURATE KING
