USWA vs SMW 12: Tommy Rich gets serious

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

Ok, what's going on here is this... this promo was specifically done for Louisville. The Memphis version is longer... you can tell because there is no audience. Wonder why? Tommy must have mentioned Memphis... I actually have the Mempho version, gotta watch it and figure out why...

@DeepSouthWrestling1 The Louisville tv was a week behind so when this aired in Memphis, Rich was still a heel in Louisville so they taped this later to air a week later.

Why did Tommy Rich's voice get so Raspy in his later years?

[actiongiraffe]

Tommy was a heavy smoker, add to that all the yelled interviews.

[timmy8271b]

@Stereobrainagain Marijuana smoking.

I was in Japan when this went on , it was so good !

This stuff was going on during the Monday night wars and was so much better!

@NAYellowjackets I wouldn't say better just bigger. I want to point out that the USWA realized in order for this to work that Smoky Mountain had to look strong. That's something the WWF failed to realize when they did the incredibly botched WCW invasion since Vince was afraid to let anybody from WCW go over clean or otherwise.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@CombatSportFan : By the same token, they had to keep the babyfaces strong... something Bischoff didn't do during the NWO angle... and are you serious? You think this was "bigger" than the Monday Night Wars? I agree with NAYellowjackets, this is better!

[CombatSportFan]

@DeepSouthWrestling1 I am not sure what I was getting at to be honest. I am sure I had a reason for putting it like that, but I can't think of it right now. So chalk that one up to faulty logic that likely existed a year ago but I can't remember it =P

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@CombatSportFan : gotcha!!!
