Pinned to the Mat - 9.10


Written by: Jeffrey Sachs
Directed by: Don Barnhart


Guest Stars:
Marvin Nedic: Gino De Mauro
Mrs. Cummings: Bunny Summers


Synopsis: Slater comes to the realization that wrestling won't be able to provide for him in the future. Zack, however, needs Slater to wrestle and beat Marvin Nedic from Valley, otherwise Zack loses a bet and gets the crap beat out of him. But, Slater ends up going soft and becoming a chef after one of Morris' plans to get him in the ring backfires.


Critique: Screech easily makes this episode one of the best out of the ninth grade season. His "wrestling match" with Nedic at the end made me laugh until it hurt. Well, not literally, but it was pretty funny. Zack's predicament over Slater not wrestling and his impending injury at the hands of Nedic was great, too.
Grade: A-


Quote of the Episode:
Screech: "Hey Butthead, your mom's ugly, your dad's ugly, and your dog's ugly!"
