Not much new ground broken here, but it's nice to see Corey Maclin. I love how Eddie tries to physically intimidate Corey, which of course doesn't work.

 

The shame of this whole saga is that by the time Lawler went to Vince in late '92 and could at least theoretically have used a new king to take his place since he'd be in and out, Eddie was gone for good. Of course, I don't know by then if the fans could have accepted anybody but Lawler in that spot even if he'd tried to push someone else, which he obviously didn't.

 

Did Dave take off halfway through the show? He interviewed Lawler earlier, as we saw, but now Corey's in his seat and Downtown Bruno's doing color.

Eddie IS Jerry Lawler now. I love how this stuff about Eddie being the New King (and all of his rhetoric) plays into Lawler's accusation months earlier. It's great that all of Eddie's crowing just proves Lawler's point that Eddie is just some punk kid who really, really wants to be Lawler. The fact that Eddie is actually a better heel Lawler makes it even better.
