Hands of Z #18.5: They Will Be Kings


Listen Later

Hands of Z steps outside the world of Zbyszko and Garvin for a special side journey into wrestling royalty with "They Will Be Kings"—this months .5 episode where Keith and Shawn spotlight two 1987 matches featuring legendary "Kings": Jerry Lawler and Harley Race.

👑 Match 1: Jerry Lawler vs. Curt Hennig – AWA World Title, Memphis

On paper, it’s a dream matchup: two masters of in-ring psychology, fighting for the AWA’s top prize. But here comes the hot take—Keith and Shawn dig in and question whether this match lives up to its long-standing reputation. Is it really an all-time classic, or has nostalgia outpaced reality?

👑 Match 2: Harley Race vs. Koko B. Ware – Maple Leaf Wrestling, Toronto

This one’s the surprise of the episode. Harley Race, deep into his WWF run, a fiery Koko B. Ware in a long match from Toronto. Expectations may have been low—but the end result? Let’s just say the guys were caught off guard. 

Give it a listen—because sometimes even kings need to be re-crowned… or dethroned.
