Jerry Lawler shoots on the Wrestling Industry

From September 1991, Jerry Lawler talks about "company champions" from the WWF and WCW. He talks about how he's the true world champion that defends it around the world.

This is pretty famous as it was supposed to lead to a Lex Luger vs Jerry Lawler unification match in the Mid South Coliseum. That never happened as Lawler and Jerry Jarrett thought Paul Heyman and Eddie Gilbert would leak it and knew too much.

Wow if only Lawler could see this vid on his annoucement table on Monday night and say fuck wwe I'm gone. The sad thing is that most "fans" these days are the ones who chant boring during wrestling matches and just want the pyro technics and hollywood writing bullshit.

@samtheacman Don't call guy whose memorable matches include punching out women and pile driving his former wife a class act. . .unless you mean low class.

What's his beef with Bruno except envy?

Haha Conway Twitty, the country singer from Family Guy !

Right, Jerry, because Memphis has absolutely no homeless people to speak of.

@ianhitman : He hasn't had his own promotion in quite a while... he briefly had a rinky-dink one for a couple months last year, but his last one was in '97.

@calamaty Lawlers got the best deal in wrestling he works 5 days a month in WWE on TV and PPV. He came wrestle indy dates and in his own promotion as well. He's the only man in the business making huge money for the WWE, with his own promotion in Memphis and on the indy scene. Its no wonder he sucks as a commentator now. He's rolling in the money no matter what he does.

Jerry Lawler is a class act...period

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@MrNWA4Life : It's not that he's wrong, he's just probably indifferent... lots of people were still referring to WCW as the NWA... many still called WWE "WWF" for quite a while after their rebranding... Lawler had referred to WCW as NWA for so long, he didn't care if he got their name right... as a company, Lawler's promotion was fighting for their lives...

Dave's Email address is posted on his website so if you don't believe me you can ask him. He's told me the story of how he got it from Lawler, sold it, and had to pay 5 figures to get it back!
