Talk about it here.

Lawler really hates the Sportatorium. Doesn't everyone?

Billy Travis has apparently turned babyface as he's scheduled to form a team with Jeff Jarrett, whom Lawler says is the Most Hated Man in wrestling. Not to second-guess the King on a promo but I kind of wish he'd gone after Jeff for riding the nepotism wave instead of saying it's because "he's a punk."

I liked this promo in comparison for what we have just seen from memphis. Jerry has some not so flattering words for Travis and I really want them to interact.

Lawler states that Jarrett is one of the most hated wrestlers in all of wrestling. Jerry likes piling on Jarrett.

Lawler will turn out to be right about Jarrett being the most hated wrestler in the business, though it takes about 15 years. Lawler promises that his manager, Ronnie P. Gossett, will take out both Jarrett and Travis by himself, which even for a heel is a line of such amazing bullshit that I can't believe Lawler said it with a straight face.

Nice promo from Lawler, but I want to know how Billy Joe turned babyface all of a sudden. Not only that, but he's teaming with Jarrett after they've spent the first part of the year trying to kill each other? How did this not make the set, and can someone please provide some background?

 

For an obese manager with a heart condition, Gossett's gotten awfully athletic, to say the least.

Billy Joe's turn aired on television, but no one has it from what we could find. I don't know the circumstances because of that.

Gee, that's a shame. If you guys ever do an errata set, that should definitely be on it, if you can find it by then.

Billy Joe's turn aired on television, but no one has it from what we could find. I don't know the circumstances because of that.

Didn't he turn when Gossett hit him in the head while doing commentary during a match? That's on the USWA texas discs Will released.

No clue.

Man id love to see a Lawler/Travis showdown.

Lawler says that it never ceases to amaze him that these brain damaged imbeciles in the city of Dallas, TX, these morons who come to this dump they call The Sportatorium, sit out there and cheer for Jeff Jarrett! They think he is a popular wrestler, but the truth is Jeff Jarrett is the most hated, unpopular wrestler in all of the profession. If you pick up a wrestling magazine like Inside Wrestling or The Wrestler and you look at the list in the back where it says ‘Most Hated Wrestlers’, Jeff Jarrett’s name should be right at the top of that list! He is so disliked by his fellow wrestlers that he can’t even have a match with him without somebody else, who he’s already ticked off, coming in and wanting to beat him up. He was supposed to wrestle him a few weeks back but somewhere down the line he makes Jeff Gaylord mad at him, he comes out and puts him in the hospital before he’d even had a chance to get his hands on him. This week he was wrestling him, and he’s clearly done something somewhere to the Dirty White Boys as they’re hot at him and they come and beat his brains out before he has a chance to. He tells Jarrett that the reason he’s the most unpopular wrestler around is because he’s a punk, and nobody, not men, not professional wrestlers, like a punk. The only people who likes punks are other punks, like Billy Joe Travis! Two punks in a pie! He wanted to take them on by himself but his good friend Ronnie P. Gossett wants a piece of them too, so this Friday the two of them will take on Jarrett and Travis. Lawler doesn’t even think he will have to get in the ring himself as Ronnie has promised him he’ll finish them both off all by himself!

 

Shame we don’t get the Travis face turn, and similarly a shame there is no footage of the Lawler & Gossett tag match. Surely Lawler can’t really believe one of the most unathletic physical specimens ever to step inside a ring like Gossett is going to beat Jarrett and Travis all by himself?

Travis chased Lawler, Gossett, Garvin and the DWBs away after the Jarrett match. Wasn't thrilled by the overuse of "punk" here. Otherwise fine promo.
