Talk about it here.

Gilbert at home with the title talking about taking on all comers, this time Tony Anthony specifically.

This reminds me of one of those old Kevin Sullivan interviews with that chair. Good promo by Gilbert

Solid stuff. Funny hearing Gilbert call someone else a midget since his height was always a main reason why he didn't headline in some areas. Though I would love to see a Gilbert/Adams match.

Gilbert promo talking about who's challenged him for Unified world title. Mentions DWB winning the SMW title, and challenges him to come to Memphis.

Goddamn, we missed out on Gilbert vs. Chris Adams. "Smoky Mountain" is invoked.

Gilbert is sitting in Lawler's dining room there

I didn't know that Embry had a title series against Eddie before he got hurt. Why didn't they book it at the MSC? (Eddie mentions "other cities", which I take to mean other places in the loop.)

 

Most of the rest of the challengers he named weren't a surprise (although Adams was intriguing); every face not named Lawler or Jarrett has had their time against Eddie by now, and all of them have come up short, which means that it's about time for Lawler to stop messing with the tag titles and reclaim what we all know is his. But first, we get a challenge from the Dirty White Boy, who's acknowledged as SMW champion. Does this mean that Ron Wright gets to come with him to Memphis, wheelchair and all? No offense to Kim, but I'd rather see Ron in Tony's corner, if only to see how the Memphis fans react to Ron's sick old man in a wheelchair bit.

 

I've also got fantasies of Eddie coming out of this as SMW champion, although I know it didn't happen in real life. I wonder how Corny would have used him, and how SMW's history might have been different as a result.

Embry and Adams added to the list of Gilbert's challengers is indeed intriguing.  Would have loved to see more on that.  Good promo from Eddie, but I prefer Dundee, Hart & especially Lawler's from this show.
