Jerry Lawler didn't have any real ground to stand on, being that he politicked his way through the CWA, and the USWA! Bill Dundee cheated to win, sure enough. However, Jerry Lawler had no right to do all of this grandstanding and politicking! He was known to cheat, too, and Jerry Lawler was such a big baby at times! He could be totally immature! The end of this recording was totally pathetic...and it proves just what I said. Jerry could dish it out (When it comes to stuff like this!), but he couldn't take it!

I just realized something. Unless I miss my guess, this looks to me, like a continuation of the hostilities between Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee, from back a couple of years prior to this...from back in 1983. Remember that rivalry? They had a Loser Leave Town kind of a match. These two battled through a good while in 1985, and their battles were very fierce! Here, Bill Dundee cheated, with the use of a small chain. I'm not defending that. But: How many times, did Jerry Lawler cheat, especially with the use of Fireballs? Let that sink in..............

What strikes me as odd, is that Mr. Bill Dundee was ready to WRESTLE! I know that this situation got discombobulated, but Jerry Lawler was showing a resistance to getting into a match, here. Steve Keirn and Stan Lane remained neutral, and were willing to either wait, or wrestle...and we all know, that Bill Dundee could definitely be a hothead. That said, though, he was ready and rarin' to go! Then, after he heard what Jerry "The King" Lawler had to say (Which was partly reasonable, but that, in my opinion, turned into a mix of grandstand and trepidation), then Bill decided to try to force the issue...and ended up with 3 new enemies! However:No matter what he did, he was STILL ready to go, at the proverbial "Drop of a Hat"! The only reason that (& yeah, I've said this before) the "Powers-That-Be" kept Jerry Lawler around, was for ratings...and Jerry knew that! He knew that he was the Golden Egg Layer (The Golden Goose, if you will), and that they'd of never made it, as a Wrestling Organization, if he wasn't around! Jerry Lawler held plenty of Titles, but he was one of the biggest (If not the biggest!), "Politicians" around! He played the CWA, then the USWA, like a fiddle. He gave the Big Cheese what they wanted...as long as he got what he wanted! I have a much higher opinion of "Superstar" Bill Dundee, than I do of Jerry "The King" Lawler...and my two main reasons are as follows: 1-He got into the "Wrestling Trenches", and fought, clawed, kicked, and even bled his way to the top! Near the end of 1979, Jerry "The King" Lawler tried to get a new contract, which, when you look at what was in that contract, was an exorbitant sum! He wanted much more than he was worth...and much more than what the Company could pay! He decided to Grandstand...& I think he came up on the losing end of things. Did you ever hear of "The Superstar" Bill Dundee, doing something like that? No!!!!! For the reasons that I've given here, my vote goes to "The Superstar" Bill Dundee!!!
