January 13, 201312 yr Author comment_5527838 Another great Eddie Gilbert promo. He's about to buy Graceland. Terry Funk doesn't need his help to beat Lawler. He hypes the barbed wire match on Monday night in another tremendous promo.
January 28, 201312 yr comment_5531339 Gilbert goes from calm and collected to raging white-hot intensity as he promises to carry Lawler's head out of the Mid-South Coliseum.

February 12, 201312 yr comment_5534736 Eddie talks about his new hometown of Memphis. Gilbert has been getting lots of advice from Funk. Gilbert says this will be Lawler’s last coliseum match. So come out and watch!
March 16, 201510 yr comment_5658937 To call this promo amazing would be redundant. Honestly, whatever Lawler, Dundee, and the rest taught young Eddie about the art of the promo really must have sunk in where he lived. Forget keeping up with Lawler; Eddie's to the point now where he's surpassing Lawler, and that's hard to do since the Kingfish isn't exactly slacking off himself. This is a feud that would be every bit as memorable if the combatants never laid a hand on each other. Of course, we know they will, and that just doubles the fun. Pete said in an earlier thread that they might have been rushing the stip matches. Normally, I'd agree, but this feud's been off and on for so long and had such hatred as a part of it that it feels right that Lawler and Gilbert want to skip the wrestling crap and go right to the blood and guts. I've seen Lawler's feuds with Dundee, Mantel, and Funk, but in terms of pure hatred on both sides, this one has them topped, and that's saying something. It's just amazing to watch unfold in something close to real time.
