Guest JMA Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Personally, I'm tired of Lawler wrestling (even it is just a few times a year). He needs to retire from active competition. I know the fans love him in Memphis, but that doesn't make it okay for him to dominate or get a win over active wrestlers. He needs to know when to hang up the boots. Gorilla and Ventura did.

Jesse only got out due to his lung problems. He was happily sucking in the ring as late as '85. Lawler shouldn't work anymore --- but I'd kill for him to teach at least ONE WWE guy how to throw a friggin' worked punch that looked good. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He could always become a trainer. I'm not sure I'd want him to teach anything BUT how to throw a punch. I get the feeling that if the biz was as "smart" when he was a huge draw as it is now, he'd have been CRUCIFIED. -=Mike --- how many titles did Lawler hold in Memphis? 100?

Guest Coffey Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Back in the 70's early 80's, Jerry Lawler was the fucking shit. The piledriver was no joke back then. Andy Kaufman jobbed out to that bitch, and he was the intergender champion!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I'm not sure I'd want him to teach anything BUT how to throw a punch. Well, if they didn't have a ban on the move, I could see him teaching others how to do the piledriver properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Its not like Lawler was any stellar wrestler to begin with... his was always a Basic Oldschool Mat style with alot of Good ol fashion Memphis Heelery... which was what made Lawler good as a wrestler, he was more character than he was physical.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Dare I say I'd rather have Lawler wrestle than commentate. If he just played an old-school heel, that might be entertaining. I liked the cocky jerk Jerry Lawler, not the "JR's buddy" Lawler we have now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Real Nosferatu Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I don't find LAwler THAT bad, its just his reputation for womens matches that makes him look like crap. When did Lawler go from asshole commentator to J.R's sidekick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 When did Lawler go from asshole commentator to J.R's sidekick? It was a gradual progression from 1997 to 2001, then when he came back in November 01 he was just a happy mugging fella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I don't dislike Lawler in the ring when he's playing a babyface that has to take a beating. "Bah Gawd! He's an old man!" When he wins is when there is a problem. You know he has to fight Coach tonight because he's no longer the #1 contender. He lost to Christian last week and that must have knocked him back down to #2.

Is it koko's fault he was Black and genetics made him small so the rich white promoters saw fit to use him as enhancement talent instead of being pushed? Besides Koko had history in Memphis, he was a upper card Heel as a PYT in the early 80's there *cue Wrestling Deacon* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
