Posted November 1, 200817 yr comment_5435492 2. Jerry Lawler vs Kerry Von Erich This has a big time feel to it. I dug the early work where Lawler was one step ahead of KVE. Lawler took some nice bumps off KVE punches. Eventually Kerry would soon beat Lawler to the punch. Lawler was tremendous at working the crowd. The crowd was hot to begin, but the way Lawler worked the crowd got it to super heated levels. This is a bout that any young worker could work move for move, but not get near the mileage Lawler and Kerry do. This had a lot of neat stuff in it, and it goes forward.

Lawler is really hated now after what he did two weeks earlier. Lawler is in full Memphis stall mode here to start and he is a master of that genre even breaking out the Fargo strut. Lawler gets in some clotheslines before Kerry would fight back until he missed a springboard splash from the apron landing on Lawler’s knees. Lawler’s selling of Kerry’s punch was phenomenal as he bumped huge and dropped to the floor where he sold it like he got shot. Lawler wanting a fist fight with Kerry then taking a beating before crawling and running to John Keaton was fucking great. Kerry would get the iron claw on Lawler but he would get to the ropes forcing the break. Lawler would get the piledriver on Kerry but Kerry would no sell it coming back up throwing punches in bunches on Lawler who sold like crazy but Lawler would demand more before throwing his own. We would then get a slugfest with John Keaton being caught in the middle and getting punched by both men at the same time with Lawler asking Kerry to do it with him in a great spot. They kept punching away as the bell rang before the jobbers came out to break it up. Cheap ending but still a great match with Lawler being so fucking awesome and Kerry looking great. Frank Dusek would then declare both belts vacant afterwards with Lawler demanding he get his belt back. Definite nomination.
