The Great American Bash '91: Lex Luger and Barry Windham

Back in 1993, when Jerry Lawler from the USWA wrestling company in Memphis was playing a heel on WWF TV.....WWF babyfaces Bret Hart, Owen Hart, and Vince McMahon were playing heels on USWA TV, and Lawler was the babyface, and they were feuding with each other in both companies. Anyhow, this thread reminded me of this clip. It takes place in Boston, and was only shown on Memphis TV. It was never seen on WWF TV. The clip starts off with Lawler doing his heel act, and Vince McMahon was playing the babyface announcer, but at 3:09, Lawler starts acting like his USWA babyface character, and Vince begans acting like his "Mr. McMahon" heel character at 3:50. This is also years before the "Mr. McMahon" character was born. Listen very carefully at the tones of their voices, and watch their body and facial movements, and you'll spot it. .....And then things go back to normal at the end. At around 5:28 to be exact it turns back to Lawler being a heel again, and Vince being a babyface. I wonder what the Boston crowd made of this. I guess Vince and Lawler were not only trying to appeal to the Memphis crowd, but were also trying to entertain the live Boston crowd as well. |

It just goes to show how epic and under-rated Lawler's mic skills are. He can literally go from heel to face to heel in a matter of seconds.

DTTS, would Rey be a heel until being attacked by a returning, crowd-pleasing Batista? Such that the attack would make Batista heel and Rey face? So this would be after Rey heels it up against Sin Cara?

DTTS, you should go back to that gimmick for a day.
Hell, we should have Old School week at TPWW. Everyone goes back to old personas, avatars, etc. Maybe bring back a few socks for old time's sake. Xero: Professional Dick could be a huge hit to the new generation. |

Raw the other night, Lawler is clearly a heel now after having that heart attack and Cole is a face. Heart attacks are serious business.

I tried to turn heel again at the beginning of this year. It blew up in my face.

Wasn't the Rock winning the tournament over Mick Foley and joining the corporation a double turn? That was when Mankind was wearing a tie and trying to be "corporate." Shane screwed Austin as the referee that night and Foley got the win earlier. I can't remember if Foley was technically heel or face at the time.

Remember at the Egg Dome in 88 what Kubiki Bob and Sakamoto Dave both didn't a double turn. Was bad ass!
