Austin Idol vs Jerry Lawler (CWA) 04/27/1984
This was for the AWA Southern Heavyweight Championship. It was a Steel Cage match and hair vs hair. The match starts with Idol cowering away from Lawler. Lawler immediately goes after him. For a supposed blood feud the action really isn’t that brutal. There have been way more brutal Jerry Lawler matches with much lower stakes. The match was very slow at the beginning. It picked up a little when Lawler began to make his comebacks. The selling was pretty good here. Tommy Rich ran in after the referee had been knocked out. The problem with that is that he waited a good while under the ring even after the referee went down. It was kind of dumb. Rich and Idol double teamed Lawler and Idol gets the victory. The best part of the matches happens after the match when the crowd nearly riots when Lawler is getting his hair cut off.
Final Rating - ***
