This is a homage from their debut 1982 feud....classic repeat....they actually captured the same intensity slick talk....and sneak jabs while complimenting each other
@@bryanhawes1782 I truly believe that he had Ric Flair's number in that match! Ric Flair had clearly underestimated Jerry "The King" Lawler...& nearly lost his belt because of his arrogance! Jerry, though, got so caught up in the moment, that he must've temporarily forgotten that The NWA Champion Belt only changes hands Via Pinfall or Submission. Flair got himself counted out, though, so technically that doesn't count as a submission, although it should, whether it be back then, or now!
Love Love Love these 2 , this is how you do promo’s!!! You know, Ric Flair and Jerry Lawler were not the biggest guys physically,, but man they drew money because they knew how to work it. I miss the territory days it was much more guerrilla style WWE has turned into a very slick product in the modern day, they are missing the down and dirty territory style promos and performance of yesteryear
That slickness that you talked about is something that is needed back in not only WWE, but in every Wrestling Organization today! Heels were heels, faces were faces, and the aura of hatred between the two factions felt so real! That is, until the now infamous "Curtain call" of 1996, when, at the end of a Steel Cage match between Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash, all four participants were hugging each other after that match. That was a horrible blow to Kayfabe. It has never been the same since!
I love how these two kept it kayfabe even though Vince just several years earlier announced it was sports entertainment. I can't stand the losers today who disregard it disrespecting the history of pro wrestling by treating it like a reality show; it's so sickening! RIP WCW, NWA, AWA, UWF and of course the king of them all - the WWF!
Geez, Jerry is so cool and chill , and easy going here. When he called the matches during the attitude era he should of changed his name cuz he was a friggin clown. Seriously , they should of changed his gimmick from Jerry The King to Jerry the JESTER. They messed that up lol
Bert Prentice...now there's a name I haven't heard mentioned lately. Is Mr. Prentice still alive, and doing ok? I hope so. He was actually one of the better heel personalities in that area. He could've given many a WWF Manager plenty to worry about. He's that good!!!
Clearly they filmed it on a WWF set, but was this for an independent show? I can't remember seeing David Flair in WWF. The continuous reference to Nashville also aren't very McMahon-like, as he would be having them say the name of whatever event it was, not just the name of the town.
David was used in the build for Flair's match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania XVIII. David was training at the OVW training center when 'Taker bursts in and beats the hell out of David to try to get Flair to wrestle him.
I didn’t mind him as a kid, but as I grew up that changed. The whole Muhammad Hasan “all Muslims who don’t like people being prejudiced against them are terrorists” thing really turned me off.
Because this was when the WWE was in agreement with Memphis wrestling and Jerry Lawler was a commentator on Raw part time and he would wrestler in Memphis part time development for talent kind of like NXT for example
He had two sons. David wrestled for a while in WCW but didn't really have much talent. His other son Reid also wrestled on the independent circuit. Reid passed away a few years ago of an apparent drug overdose. Rick was actually the one that found him and called 911.

“I like you, Jerry! I hear you’re a big deal in this part of the country!”
I smiled the entire time watching this. Classic.
I'll admit that I wasn't smiling, after Jerry "The King" Lawler went on the defensive. It got really, really tense from that moment on!
Two of the greatest talkers in wrestling history
Wow! This is a rare moment between these two living legends
LOL out loud at the idea of David beating Lawler.
This reminds me of Lawler hustling his way to a NWA title match in Memphis in their 1982 match.
Deadpool yeah I remember that one a classic 4ever. A 10 minute championship match😂😂😂😂😂
That was a good one the King thought he won the belt with the count out win haha
Bryan Hawes The match was never signed on paper. Flair dodged a bullet
It's like that 1982 encounter between Jerry Lawler and Ric Flair which led to a wrestling match in Memphis' wrestling studio, only in reverse.

Serious Jerry Lawler promo are so far and above his exaggerated style in WWF/WWE it's like listening to two different people.
It's fantastic how these two can subtly put over a match and take jabs at each other.
redroversk they’re the best in the business
Flair and Lawlet were born in the same year, 1949.
Master class of a promo by two Legends
They would’ve been 2 of the best car salesmen ever!
Remember their match at Memphis. was a great experience watching it.
“It goes with the territory” I feel like that was Ric winking at the smarks
These guys are FUCKING masters!!!
Great promo as always between these guys.

Lawler was the 👑Man !
Last time both guys didn't look too old. Then 2003 was like the first year Ric started lookin old with his hair slicked back.
Lol
Yeah that's usually how life goes
I ♥️ Miss the King 🤴 Jerry Lawler
Jerry lawler and ric flair as tag team champions back then...😂😂😂😂😁👍😎😬👏.
This rules

The NWA is still around and has brought back studio wrestling. Davie Crockett and Conrad Thompson even have somewhat revived Jim Crockett Promotions.
To hell with David.. I wanted to see The NATURE BOY AND THE KING GO AT IT!!
Oh hell yeah I wanna see it today,,Ric Flair could kick Jerry Lawler's Ass everyday twice Saturday and three times Sunday woooooooo,,,,,,,,,,
Ironically, Flair was born in Memphis TN.
West Memphis ar
@Marcus Johnson clearly you can tell he has a Minnesota accent.
The Prophet of Rage i thought he was born in a bowl of 🍲 (soup)? 🤭🤣
Flair was from Minneapolis originally when to the u of Minnesota not North Carolina. Know your history before commenting.
Flair was from Brooklyn
Geez, Jerry is so cool and chill , and easy going here. When he called the matches during the attitude era he should of changed his name cuz he was a friggin clown. Seriously , they should of changed his gimmick from Jerry The King to Jerry the JESTER. They messed that up lol
CLASSIC
Lawler, the man!!!
I wanna see this..r there still tickets available
David Flair is deceased.
@White Knight yes you're right, I replied too quickly lol .
John Peymann David drives a truck now has been for years now .
@P Jeffery This is over 18 years ago.
@P Jeffery Ok I thought you said 8 years ago.
This was for a local show in Nashville TN Bert Prentice ran it I believe.
Bert Prentice...now there's a name I haven't heard mentioned lately. Is Mr. Prentice still alive, and doing ok? I hope so. He was actually one of the better heel personalities in that area. He could've given many a WWF Manager plenty to worry about. He's that good!!!
@@ronaldshank7589 He's running shows around Jackson TN now.
@@marlinmealer6506 Cool! Thanks for letting me know, and you have a great day!
David Flair couldn't even shine his father's boots in the ring
When did this happen, again?...
Hilarious hahahahaha hahahaha Haha

He was there for the proverbial "5 minutes", and after that, disappeared...at least, that's what I remember.
This has nothing to do with wwe
Eddie Gilbert was the real king of memphis wrestling
This is late 2001/ early 2002
I wonder why these two never did an angle on tbs in their primes? well, relative primes
They kinda that when flair went to Memphis
Im talking about like in the late 80s or early 90s. Imagine a heel Lawler vs face Flair in 89 or 93 on tbs?
@@patale1640 Lawler was in WWF in 93...
He forgot the Woooooooo!!!
Was this before or after Undertaker beat his kid bloody?
When did this match took place??? Was it after Taker beat up Dave????
This two really hate each other lol
I didn’t mind him as a kid, but as I grew up that changed. The whole Muhammad Hasan “all Muslims who don’t like people being prejudiced against them are terrorists” thing really turned me off.
Who won
Cool stuff!! :)
So who won?
u got anymore usa championship wrestling videos... any old chase stevens stuff
Why is the wwf promoting this match??🤔
Because this was when the WWE was in agreement with Memphis wrestling and Jerry Lawler was a commentator on Raw part time and he would wrestler in Memphis part time development for talent kind of like NXT for example
Lawler still trying to pull country give on Flair lol!
VolumedMusicMan Country jive instead of country give.
Derek Langley 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣yeah country jive. Lawler pulled all that country jive to hustle Slick Rick into a televised 10 minute championship match.
Lawler looks short in this video.
what promotion was this in?
Memphis wrestling
So much better than the sing song, scripted crap of today.
Oh absolutely
Hey Jerry, if the Booker had more
Confidence in you . You be in a bigger match. '
Why would Ric get a call? Ric is there.
He has beaten YOU dad.
Naw Ric flair would win
@okrabay USA Championship Wrestling
Flair could beat lawler anytime
Jerry is not the king only Jesus Christ is the king.
I didn't even know Flair had a son at least not in wrestling.
didn't last long
Clearly, KELLSONIC didn't watch much WCW.
+kenterminatedbygoogle exactly. He must have never saw David Flair setting Nitro on fire. With Daphne and Crowbar by his side.
He had two sons. David wrestled for a while in WCW but didn't really have much talent. His other son Reid also wrestled on the independent circuit. Reid passed away a few years ago of an apparent drug overdose. Rick was actually the one that found him and called 911.
lawler would kill flair irl.
Lies In the 1980s Lawler vs Flair was neck and neck
