September 2, 201114 yr Author comment_5481598 Lawler explains the dumbest, strangest gimmick match I've ever heard of. Just watch, but give Lawler credit for almost making it seem like a good idea. Then, we get Richard Lee on a boat with the Moondogs preparing them to get comfortable around water before the Mid South Coliseum match. Richard Lee is great in this.
September 16, 201114 yr comment_5482860 This is like Dick Cheney's dream match. Guess they were trying everything to get this feud to sell?
September 9, 201312 yr comment_5561334 What's the one thing that dogs are scared of? BATHS. Uh...I thought that was cats. Yeah, it's a Waterboard Death Match at the Mid-South Coliseum. 1992 was a more innocent time. Richard Lee rebuts from the S.S. MOONDOG. Of all the vignettes involving managers and yachts on these Yearbooks, this is probably the second-best.
October 25, 201311 yr comment_5568886 Lawler & Doug Gilbert explaining a match getting where you get dunked in dirty water. Then Lee with a promo while Moondogs are being crazy on a boat w/ tag titles wrapped around the bow rail. At least the promo on a boat was cool.
May 12, 20169 yr comment_5752479 Can they possibly come up with a gimmick match any stranger than this? I loved Doug and Lawler dunking the jobber, and the idea of the Dogs listening to opera music and living on a yacht is truly inspired, but how many times and in how many ways does Lawler (since this is still his feud, regardless of who his partners are) have to beat these guys before they go away? Shouldn't he be defending the Unified title? I don't have the faintest idea who he could wrestle, as long as it isn't a Moondog. I'm seriously wondering if most of the other guys in the promotion might have refused to work with the Dogs and/or Lee, for whatever reason. Dundee didn't get this many matches in a row with Lawler, and their feud practically defines modern Memphis wrestling. Same for Eddie, Dutch, Austin Idol, and a lot of other more memorable Lawler feud partners. Even Andy Kaufman took breaks occasionally. One good thing: Lee was actually understandable here, and when he is, he's very very good. He needs at least one other protégé in order to broaden his horizons a bit, though.
