Lawler's AWA Southern Title vs Savage's NWA Mid-American Title.

 

Super heated. Not as good as the Loser Leaves Town match but on the level of the cage match. Lots of crazy Savage schtick and Lawler milking the crowd.

Jerry Lawler vs. Randy Savage

- If you are a fan of both guys then you will love this match. I imagine that there will be some complaining about the fact that it took 5 minutes of match time before they actually hooked up. Still, you gotta love the Savage-Lawler punching contests because both guys throw nice punches. Nice ending as it looked like either guy could have won it 2 or 3 times before Lawler finally gets the pin. Easy nomination.

Man Lawler took some big ass bumps in this, If this isn't as good as the Loser Leaves town, I am utterly amped to see that match. Savage is a guy who did very little for me on the WWF set, but is owning Memphis

This is from Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky which was homebase for the defunct ICW so that makes this match even more important. This has a slow start where they work more on the mat but it’s good stuff and the heat in the building is very hot considering the significance of this matchup in this city. It would soon break down though with the action going to the floor thus getting Angelo Poffo involved along with Savage hitting his top rope offense to the floor not once but twice. Lawler would start making his comeback on the floor with a cup of beer in the face of Savage and soon enough the punches would start flying. There would be more back and forth battling in and out of the ring and this is great stuff as both men leave it all out there. The strap would come down and it heated up even more as Savage would piledriver Lawler behind the ref’s back and Lawler got a schoolboy for the win. Definite nomination.
