February 25, 201312 yr Author comment_5536863 Lawler talks about how teams aren't always alliances of best friends in pro wrestling. This is all bullshit, but it's masterful, as he explains everything like he's giving fans a peek behind the curtain when he absolutely is not in any way at all. There is a lot of old school stuff that wouldn't work today, but I do think that general approach could be applied today. Keirn makes his position clear - he doesn't like Lawler at all, but he does respect him, and because he respects him, he's telling him to his face that he doesn't like him. I like how Keirn keeps his distance during this interview, and this is a more than satisfactory explanation for why they are teaming.
February 26, 201312 yr comment_5536959 Lawler truly is the King of Wrestling in segments like this when he does a master of spin control. Early in the interview he says he would be an artist if he wasn't wrestling. I disagree. I think he would have made millions as a PR guru.
March 13, 201312 yr comment_5538817 Keirn is one of the most underrated talkers ever. Now I'm starting to think Skinner was as big of a waste as Saba Simba and Big Josh were.
April 2, 201312 yr comment_5540696 Lawler and Keirn out for interview. Lawler brings up again taking time off. He brings up how you don’t have to be good friends to be good tag partners. Kind of glosses over the previous history putting the blame on Cornette but in the end they have a common goal of going up agains the Texans. Keirn refers to himself as top 10 in the world after 15 years. Both men put over Fargo. Totally blanked on how close we are to Skinner.
June 15, 201312 yr comment_5548021 Skinner was a huge waste of potential as I have enjoyed everything with Kiern so far. The distance thing was key here to make this not look ridiculous.
May 3, 201510 yr comment_5667080 A master class in carneyism from Lawler and Keirn. The "enemy of my enemy is my friend" bit is a wrestling staple, and so are former enemies teaming in pursuit of a common goal, but not less than a month after the enemies tried their damndest to cripple each other. That takes a special brand of convincing to get over to the public, and Lawler and Keirn dispense it flawlessly. I especially like Keirn flat-out stating that he still doesn't like Lawler and wouldn't waste his time teaming with him if it wasn't for Fargo. I also like Lawler reminding the fans of his past history with Dundee as a further illustration of the point; there exists no better example of the ups and downs between two wrestlers than the Superstar and the Kingfish. If Lawler can not only team with Dundee but win World tag team titles with him after two of the bloodiest, most violent feuds in Memphis history, teaming with Keirn will be a snap. Finally, I liked Keirn downplaying the Tennessee/Texas part of the feud. He's from Florida, not either one of the other states, and considering who's involved in the feud, he's no doubt hoping that everybody takes turns beating each other's brains out the second he leaves town. He's in this as a favor to Fargo, period, and that's enough to earn Embry and Prichard the beating of their lives. Definitely the best Memphis interview this year, and maybe the best one not involving an altercation of the Yearbook series so far.
October 27, 20177 yr comment_5817984 This was holy shit levels of both bullshit and absolute gold. The distance they kept from each other, the insistence by both that the ONLY reason they are teaming is Jackie Fargo got beat up. Keirn as a serious interview is really, really good and I question why the guy didn't have a great career somewhere. Also, this promo really makes you think the Texas boys are gonna get the beating of their lives in MSC.
