      true ... i think because he was a great heel for so many years in Memphis and never left , the fans turned him ...

    Lawler and other stated specifically, that, yes Kerry was high on his preferred drug (C***), but it was a pure accident that right before the match they were backstage talking about he match or something, and Kerry had a blade taped to his finger as usual, and forgot about it, and went to itch his arm and thats why he was bleeding from his bicep. I'm honestly surprised that we didn't see more stuff like this happen because of the drug use and how wrestlers would hide their blades in so many different ways. I always found that incredibly stupid as you could easily nik an artery like that. either injuring yourself or your opponent, or...well like hannibal and abdulah......you know. drugs and things like this were a disaster waiting to happen.

    0:37 if they could have held onto Curt they might’ve succeeded, he was just coming into his prime and as we all know he was the total package, very capable of carrying a world heavyweight title with believability, he could work at the highest level in the ring and would quickly develop into an all time great promo as well, and Verne liked heel world champions, after a long world title run as a babyface they could have him turn heel shortly after losing the title and Verne would’ve potentially had his next Bockwinkle.

    That Lawler Von Erich match was BS but, besides that, it sounded like a great match. Probably the best Lawler match ever.

    I have followed your channel for a long time and love your content. I can definitely feel you letting loose on this one.
    You've held back so much negative criticism on your other projects for so long you wanted to rip apart a video and post it and you can feel it in this one. Although, I would not allow my modern eyes to eviscerate the event as you would. I can understand it, you're comparing it to everything else you've watched and in truth it wouldn't stand up to anything modern, but I think it still deserves a little bit of respect but I want to give it to you. You let out a lot of anger and disgust on this one. Content is content. Appreciate it and I hope you have a pleasant holiday season.

    For the record, NWA had a similar ending with Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair with Joe Frazier as a guest ref in a main event , point being that boxers are not as tough as wrestlers , as a bit of blood was enough for a boxer to stop a match.

    Oh wow, Bambi was in that early 90s fairly depressing Southern independent wrestling documentary. I did not realize she had actually had some prominent spots in the past, as she seemed like an up-and-coming type who was born about 10 years too soon for women's wrestling (probably 20 years given she was on this show though)
