Loss Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Vince does an interview wearing the USWA title! Vince says the belt looks much better around his svelte waist than the "rather rotund" waist of Jerry Lawler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boondocks Kernoodle Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Didn't he pronounce "svelte" as "slivet?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Ridge Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 McMahon does the "Well, well, well" that Gertner would use later on. Vince's three piece suits make him a natural heel enough and then we see he is wearing the USWA title around his waist. He's not a wrestler but Vince in Memphis is making a case in my mind as the best heel of the year. Lawler in WWF probably wins but again another reason why I love this feud.

PeteF3 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Vince with the Unified World title. Spectacular. He compares Lawler's upcoming one-and-only rematch to Custer's Last Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Vince revealing the belt was a mark out moment for me. He keeps on gloating and delivering in these promos and this remains some of the more fascinating stuff from a storyline perspective on the whole set.

garretta Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The other mistake Vince made here was referring to the Unified title as the "United" title. He's never made that mistake before, so I can forgive him a slip of the tongue. They probably only had one shot at getting him to do these promos, so any mistakes he made almost had to be ignored unless he started swearing on camera or something. Seeing Vince with the belt is surreal, and that should have been the only time in his life that he ever came close to wearing one. He's starting to become a bit more cartoonish with the evil chuckle at the end, but this is Memphis, where Lawler's fought every kind of horror monster come to life imaginable, plus Andy Kaufman and Batman. Compared to all of that, Vince is Masterpiece Theatre. Imagine the level this whole feud would have gone to if Vince had allowed the Unified title to be brought to the WWF. It not only would have given Lawler a chance to showcase his wrestling skills, but it would have given Tatanka a program, which he didn't have at this time. It would have also put more juice behind Lawler's feuds with Bret and Savage, though the former really didn't need much more juice behind it. I wonder if Vince and Lawler talked about bringing the belt in, although if they had it couldn't have been defended around the Memphis loop unless and until Vince was finished with it. That would have left Jeff as the USWA's top champion, which may have just answered my question. I can't wait to see what we have of the Tatanka-Lawler match. I wouldn't think that they would mesh all that well, but I've been wrong before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
