You cringe because really lays it in. It's possible he's an amazing worker and the guys aren't getting hurt but I would seriously be worried if Mance was chopping Lawler or crashing him with his forearm strikes. I hope they work light.

As best I can tell, virtually every Lawler match on the indies for the past few years has been the same. Very basic but effective stuff. Heel keeps exiting the ring and stalling for time, relatively harmless heat spots. Heel rolls up Lawler with feet on the ropes, ref notices and stops it. Heel knocks ref around. Lawler eventually rolls up heel with feet on the ropes. Ref notices, but shrugs and counts the 3 anyway as a fuck you to the heel. Everyone gets a laugh and pops.
You don't need anything more from a Lawler match. But I'd be interested in Warner's willing to work a simple match like that.
