  • @Stereobrainagain : Agreed... but I think Lawler could do that with almost anyone (Dundee, Valiant, Mantell, Fargo, Johnson, etc...) while Gilbert couldn't...

  • @DeepSouthWrestling1 I wouldn't say that Gilbert is better than Lawler. But the two combined as face vs. heel was art. One of the best angles of it's kind, EVER.

  • "No, I'm putting up my mother's car."

    I can watch these old classic Memphis promos days and night. They could never get away with most of this stuff today.

  • Eddie Gilbert was a fantastic actor. Unimpressive physique, not a big man by any means and both of those are very important in 'rastlin. What he did have was a tremendous way to sell his act and nobody back then could do it better.

  • Heel wrestlers is what makes wrestling.

  • @patsman191 : Eddie would no show. That's not part of an act, that's a disregard for the fans who pay money to see you. You see the difference, right?

  • @SuperDrJeckyl : You're right about people not realizing Gilbert started ECW... even Sapolsky knocks Gilbert's booking as "too Memphis" in that ECW documentary... dumbass doesn't realize the debt ECW owes Memphis...

  • @DeepSouthWrestling1 Eddie Gilbert and his nprofessional behavior was what brought the fans in if it was not for the heels there would be no wrestling.

  • People don't realize this is the guy who actually started ECW. Granted Heyman did a great job, but Eddie Gilbert actually started it before Gordon and Heyman took it over.

    ECW basically took the old Memphis formula and brought it north after Eddie Gilbert started it up there.

  • @patsman191 "unprofessional behavior was part of his act"!?!?!? So, part of his act was no-showing? That's ridiculous!! That's no act, that's screwing people who pay to see him!!! Eddie's whole heel character was literally lifted from Lawler... lock, stock and barrel!! How in the world is Lawler a "goodie tussues"!?!?
