[2001-01-13-MPPW-TV] Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee vs Slash & Steve Bradley

Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee, along with the Kat, join Corey to promote the big ‘Corinth Chaos’ show tonight. ‘The Superstar’ says being the Commissioner he could quite easily just stick on a suit and walk about all night, but he likes to ‘compete’ so is putting himself in the Royal Rumble Battle Royal. ‘The King’ interrupts him, knowing full well that the only reason he’s entering that Rumble is because the winner gets $10,000 and everyone knows what Dundee would do for $10,000! The Kat addresses Ivory’s comments from earlier in the show (they’ve a match at Corinth Chaos), before we get a taped video interview from Steven Richards. Richards says how he’s been called many things like zealot, cult leader and even psycho, but the one he prefers is ‘martyr’. At ‘Corinth Chaos’ Jerry Lawler will find out why he is different to every other wrestler he’s ever faced, because he is willing to die for his cause; it’s not just a wrestling match, it’s a life and death struggle between good and evil. He promises to teach Lawler that wrong is wrong and right is Right to Censor. ‘The King’ warns him about being careful for what he wishes for as he just might get it. He’s going to show him the difference between right and wrong, and he’ll find out he’s on the wrong side

 

Onto the match and Bill Dundee looks fairly slow at the opening with Slash pretty much having to hip toss himself. Lawler backs Slash into the corner, but he blocks a right hand and decks ‘the King’ with one of his own. The crowd start a “Jerry, Jerry” chant which he mockingly joins in with. “Jerry, Jerry” becomes “Wolfie, sucks!” on them seeing that! Big backdrop by Bradley and ‘the Superstar’ is in to break up the cover. Bradley goes for it again, this time though he telegraphs it and Lawler drills him with a right. Snap mare, but he avoids the fist drop as Lawler punches the mat. Slash peppers ‘the King’ before biting him on the forehead. He misses the leg drop off the middle and Lawler makes the hot tag. All four men are now going at it in the ring, whilst on the outside Victoria has shown up and is attacking The Kat. With everything that is happening, the official is really struggling to keep control of things. Slash goes to suplex Dundee from the apron back into the ring when he has his legs taken out from under him by Scott Vick. ‘The Superstar’ falls on top; however it’s only a two count as Slash kicks out of the pin. Vick heads over to Dave and Corey, explaining that was nothing more than ‘an eye for an eye’ after Slash cost him his match last week. Dundee eventually gets the three on Slash, but we missed what led to the finish as the cameraman was having a hard time following everything. The last we saw was Slash heading to the top turnbuckle, so my guess is there was no-one home on whatever he tried, but that’s just an educated guess.

 

The action here was nothing to write home about, but was better when Lawler was in there as opposed to Dundee. A couple of storylines were advanced with Slash and Vick and Victoria and The Kat, although it was tough following everything at the end with so much going on. I have a hunch that Vick’s trip on Slash should’ve been the finish and something went wrong, as that would explain why his promo to Dave and Corey didn’t really make sense (the match was still going at that point and he hadn’t cost Slash anything) and why the resultant finish was missed.

King and Dundee do an interview to start.  Swank Titans jacket on by Bill. King’s ensemble looks good too. They have the never to call their show tonight a Royal Rumble. Kat has words for Ivory and they are bringing over the RTC angle to MPPW.  Steven Richards has a pretape promo for tonights match. Good clip where Richards says he is willing to die for his cause. Good rebuttal from King. That leads to the tag match as its Bradley and Slash vs. the legends. Good little studio match here as Slash and Bradley know how to condense a tv match into five mintues and make the heat interesting. Superstar gets the hot tag in and Victoria is at ringside and attacks Kat. Slash gets tripped up for a two count by Scott Vick but that is supposed to be evening the odds. I am unsure if that was supposed to be the finish, but Dundee puts the match away a moment later. **
