The Best Of Wrestling Feuds: Jerry Lawler vs. Austin Idol & Tommy Rich
Voted 1987 Feud of the Year by the readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this incarnation of Jerry Lawler's feud with Austin Idol & Tommy Rich is one of my favorites. Tons of great promos, classic angles, and heated brawls with everyone on the top of their game. Included is just about everything that made tape from this feud, plus more from before and after to fill out the last disc.
