Jerry Lawler is and always has been a sexist, racist piece of shit
And before someone says "no but that's just his gimmick!"
Uhhhhhhh bro
Racist?
If someone (usually Mauro) calls a puro or lucha move by its proper Japanese or Mexican origin name, Lawler will often shit talk that as he'll be A.) Unfamiliar with the move because if it's not a powerslam, clothesline, or suplex then Lawler has a hard time identifying it and B.) It's a "funny sounding foreign word"
Just the other week on SmackDown, Mauro called a move by its proper Japanese name, Lawler was like "huh?" and then the guy who did it followed up with a power bomb, Lawler said mockingly "and here's an Edamame power bomb!" or something like that.
And like... that's not heel commentary. That's not doing a bit. That's being ignorant about wrestling aka your fucking job and being racist on top of it, basically going "hurr durr I know foreign words too, Mauro, Godzilla Sushi Toyota Armdrag"
Watching Smackdown and man, the whole "he looks like a kid out there!" adage applies double to Xavier Woods because he looks overjoyed to be wrestling AJ Styles.
I really dug that match. In fact all of his in ring stuff with the new day has been great. Now I just need to see AJ/Big E and I'll be happy.
Lawler has a long history of saying heinous racist shit about basically every wrestler who isn't white and/or American.
Under the guise of being a "heel commentator" of course, but given that Jerry Lawler's gimmick is basically just "Jerry Lawler" cranked up to 11, as many old school 80s dudes were, I just don't buy the idea that Lawler himself isn't a racist, sexist dipshit.
I don't like casting judgement on a wrestler for shit they do/say on screen like that, but in Lawler's case I don't know if there's really a distinctive line between the man and the character.
He's a gross relic of the past who needs to be fired into the Sun
I really think there is gonna be twice as many titles
While this is cool they are going to have to change his last name since it is slang for something else and wrestling fans being shit people who will exploit the heck out of it.

I wonder how Inoki feels about the dude just up and leaving him after 2 years.
Watching the highlights of the Corbin Ryder match I relalise now that End of Days is entirely dependent on how the opponent takes it for how good it looks. They've got to really make themselves 'hang' to show that Corbin is in control rather than he is being hit by a Rock Bottom.
Ryder really hooks himself up there and gets properly pendulumed by Corbin which makes it look like Ryder gets splattered.
For anyone who thinks WWE revises history for their own means, and I wouldn't disagree, try and watch the April 3rd 2000 Monday Nitro on the Network. It will make you angry.
I could use more details.

Ryder is secretly Shawn Michaels-level of making people look good in the ring. If hulk hogan ever comes back in-ring I want zack to be his big feud

It was the "Best of" Nitro before the big Eric Bischoff/Vince Russo April 10 reboot that spent the entire two hours verbally blowing them and portraying them as geniuses who the Internet should love unquestionably.
I have a feeling Jerry will be eventually be brought back.

Nikki Bella said on Instagram she was training a little with one Bryan Danielson. Now I've never heard that name before in my life of course but I looked him up and he's supposed to be pretty good!
Re Lawler I am very forgiving of anything done as a heel in the wrestling world. I personally don't need to reach beyond this specific news to think he must be a shitty dude and I'm glad he's been released.
Now I have to decide if I want to spend £12 to go and stand around through a show mostly comprised of bullshit I don't care about just to see Chris Hero. This is a tough choice.

I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.
Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.

Throw KO on double duty, wrestling and commentating.

I am not so sure this time....I think they were headed towards a world without him already.
They've been phasing him out for a while now. This just gives them an excuse to completely cut him out.
He'll be in TNA by the end of the year.
put Bob Backlund on commentary

but not like, current jesse ventura
build a time machine and go get late-80s jesse ventura and bring him back

If you're going to go through all of this trouble you may as well get Heenan.
If you're building a time machine to retrieve a color commentator can we get pre-cancer Heenan istead?
But then current Owens might get dumped over the table during a spot and make contact with future Owens and then Timecop rules would go into effect.
Which would be the worst case scenario.

It's good entrance music. Probably one of the most character-evocative of the current roster.

hopefully he does his little baby bouncies as well
Steam | Twitter
And it actually looks like a pretty good card too
Aside from Corbin/Ziggler (which, why do they keep doing this) I think I'm interested in every match there
You know he's thinking "Boing-ee boing-ee boing-ee" every time he does that.
Just like every wrestler is thinking of a revving car engine when they run to the ring.

Probably because we're going to find out Vince is the person buying UFC.
