Loss Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 The dance-off before the match is something else. Someone has to GIF Lawler doing the whitest dance move in modern history -- the cabbage patch. That moment reminded me too much of one of my aunts after she's had too much Sunkist. Kind of a nothing match (Hey, Lawler supporters -- point us to the big list of good TV matches and has R-Truth ever had a good match? I'm not saying he hasn't, I'm just genuinely asking), but I saw the cabbage patch at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 In a cool moment that really set off the wrestling landscape as we know it currently, we see Bruce Pritchard coming out of a room saying he will announce the commissioner next week. Out strolls Steve Regal. K-Krush is mad he didn’t get a chance to dance. Lawler even does a dance for us and that starts the match off. Blue Meanie, Curtis Hughes and Reckless are the people to advance so far in the championship tournament. Another really fun match. Even though we are in 2000, I can appreciate which days are a Saturday even without looking up the date. That will probably change over time to where anything non WWE or TNA (shudder) will be a Fri-Sun without being able to distinguish much. Broken record but this was really good and Krush looked impressive dishing it out to Jerry and being resilient overall. Finish was the typical Memphis stuff which is kind of clever IMO of King getting bailed out on a pin by grabbing the rope and he rolls up Krush and the ref misses him grabbing the rope. **1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I somehow thought that Regal's match against Benoit at the Pillman memorial got him (re-)hired, it seems as if I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I’m not quite as taken with Krush’s rapping now he’s not doing it over ‘Back in Black’. The cameras cut to backstage to see Bruce Prichard coming out of his office. He tells Guy Coffey and some other chap that he’ll give them his decision on who will be the new Commissioner next week, and is shortly followed out of there by Steven Regal. Krush gets them to play his music as he didn’t get a chance to dance yet, before ‘The King’ busts a move (a very basic move mind!) too. Krush takes offense to Lawler’s dancing, jumping him prior to the bell and choking him on the ropes. Not sure what he attempts off an Irish whip, but ‘The King’ grabs him by the hair, throws him to the canvas and even pulls out a dropkick. Krush rolls to the outside to compose himself and comes back in looking more aggressive. A big powerslam and he starts to choke ‘The King’ but misses a leg drop off the top. Lawler with a DDT and a standing fist drop for a two. He goes for a piledriver which Krush is able to escape from courtesy of a low blow. Krush with a suplex, but his dancing and subsequent slack cover only brings a one count. Rear chin lock, he then whips ‘The King’ into the ropes, boot to the mid-section and a nice looking axe kick. He starts to repeatedly ram Lawler’s head into the turnbuckles but the time spent arguing with the crowd instead of following up on that axe kick has given him sufficient time to recover. He turns the tables, rams Krush’s head into the turnbuckle and pulls down the strap (which again elicits little reaction). Great left from Lawler. Irish whip and Krush botches a leap from but comes back with a flying forearm. Two count as Lawler gets his foot over the ropes. Krush celebrates thinking he got the win, and ‘The King’ schoolboys him for the three. This didn’t do much for me. Lawler couldn’t mask the fact that Krush looks green (more noticeable here than what I remember in his match in Wildside) and he’s another with bad looking offense (on those punches and kicks). There appeared to be a couple of miscommunication problems and that schoolboy roll up finish looked very weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonsault Marvin Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Solid match between Lawler and K-Krush. It's a standard Lawler match, and we get his nice looking dropkick. He gets some hometown help with the finish as the ref counts fast and misses K-Krush grabbing the ropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 K-Krush is doing the same thing he's still doing today. That rapping and dancing was as horrible as it still is today. I've personally never been sold on K-Krush and I still haven't seen a match of his that's made me change my opinion of him.The highlight for me: The blatant spot calling during the headlock was horrible.As most MCW matches we've seen, this is short and kept relatively simple.
