The FULL Lawler vs Snowman Saga from USWA Wrestling 1990

[@johnathanrush4666]

I really appreciate you editing all this together. Thanks 🧡

[@lmiller9178]

One of the best worked shoots in Memphis wrestling RIP Snowman!

[@contentm3893]

What? It was horrible. They had to do a worked shoot because snowman couldn't wrestle or throw a punch.

[@johnathanrush4666]

​@@contentm3893people bought it. Ergo, it worked.

Check out the Randy Hales podcast 2024! He reviews older memphis stuff.. CWF, USWA, PowerPro Wrestling!! Woooooo!

That Lawler vs Snowman match was one of the most absolutely bizarre but compelling spectacles of 90’s wrestling. Seeing Lawler do his best Minoru Suzuki/UWFI impression vs Snowman was wild. The match is ugly from a technical standpoint but that’s what made it great. They made it look like a shoot with the takedowns and strikes.

[@RetroWrestlingArchive]

You nailed it. My thoughts exactly.

@@alltheworldsastage. Yes, 1990

[@contentm3893]

@@RetroWrestlingArchive No not correct. Lawler couldn't run a match because snowman couldn't even work like it was a legit fight. Lawler had worked shoots with Savage and Dundee and a street fight they all could work. Snowman couldn't even throw a legit looking punch, no wrestling skills and couldn't sell anything. Horrible matches.

[@RetroWrestlingArchive]

@contentm3893 Not saying the matches were good, they were awful. My point was...they were clearly not a normal wrestling match, the fans could tell something wasn't right (it didn't look like a legit fight, but it didn't look like a worked wrestling match either)

[@contentm3893]

@@RetroWrestlingArchive " (it didn't look like a legit fight, but it didn't look like a worked wrestling match either)" Haha. Yeah that's a good description. It really seemed like that's all they could do with those matches.

Jerry The King Lawler had alotofbelts back then.

[@corybowman9583]

Snowman was trash on the mic and in the ring.

[@jonathanrife-rs7sf]

100 % agree.

[@brianlogan4243]

and in life, he pawned the USWA title belt for drugs

[@Jedi_MasterGX]

Complete garbage

[@contentm3893]

100% correct. Why are people making comments that this was great worked shoot? Snowman couldn't do anything.

[@garyhebb2363]

Got to witness a couple of their matches at the Nashville Fairgrounds, got to admit I was pulling for the Snowman.

[@misterknightowlandco]

Giving Leon Spinx a microphone is a terrible idea… listening to him talk makes you think uncle rukus might be onto something 😂

[@trollndatrollaz9743]

@@misterknightowlandco I guess the USWA having Spinks in a match against Lawler was going to give the USWA some national exposure like the good ole days of Memphis wrestling when Andy Kaufman came there…

[@misterknightowlandco]

@@trollndatrollaz9743 the difference is that while Andy was a terrible athlete, he could talk.

[@lmiller9178]

Leon took one shot too many!

[@bb-gc2tx]

this is basically the rocky vs clubber lang story line from rocky 3

[@colericks9113]

OMG Lawler' s comment at 2:03:42 given the racial overtones of this angle.

[@colericks9113]

And again at 2:10:50

[@mrg8581]

Lawler rules.

[@edthibeault3389]

Why is it all wrestling announcers look like dorks?

[@trollndatrollaz9743]

Snowman the Original Faarooq 😂

[@corybowman9583]

Farooq had way better mic skills. And Farooq could actually wrestle.

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

Snowman couldn't lace Ron Simmons boots.

This has to be one of the worst wrestling matches I've ever seen. Fake
