January 11, 201411 yr comment_5579611 Vince does a heel promo very convincingly. He spins things from what happened at Coliseum. Was not happy with being booed during his introduction. Bret Hart versus Jerry Lawler in a steel cage. McMahon could have been a great manager alone.
January 21, 201411 yr comment_5581245 God, Vince is such a natural. Yeah, it's a "duh" statement in light of Mr. McMahon, but Vince had clearly wanted to do this for awhile. This Sunday (because of SummerSlam on Monday), Lawler meets Bret in a cage. Vince laughs over Lawler's empty-hearted promise to refund the MSC's money if he didn't hospitalize Paul Neighbors, and then dares Lawler to make the same promise if he can't defeat Bret in the cage on Sunday. I seriously wonder how many people in Memphis immediately became Bret fans upon the announcement of this stip.
September 28, 20159 yr comment_5701221 What a great heel promo from Vince. Everything you think of him in the 1998 role was using this as the starting off point. I love the dynamic of this feud currently.
October 26, 20168 yr comment_5772914 There seems to be so much more on the line in Memphis concerning this feud than in the WWF. I used to think it was just Lawler, but Vince sounds like he's taking the Memphis portion just as seriously. I can't get over the contrast, and I'll bet the Memphians who watched both halves of the feud play out couldn't either. Vince is so much better as a heel promo when he doesn't raise his voice. I know it was easier for him not to do it when he was in front of a green screen than it was in an arena full of fans, but Mr. McMahon is more effective this way than he was screaming "YOU'RRRREEEE FIIIIIIIRRRRRRED!" all over the place. He probably thought the louder, more bombastic version was necessary for the national stage, but he was dead wrong. That version made me roll my eyes and groan; this one sends shivers down my spine. If it wasn't for Corny, and if he'd appeared at ringside more than once this year so far, Vince may have been my choice for Manager of the Year.
