JR Says” Lawler will Quit WWE, If He becomes Mayor”

Friday, July 10th, 2009

lawler_ross

Jim Ross has posted the following on his JRSBarBq.com about Jerry “The King” Lawler running for Memphis Mayor. Lalwer will be quitting the WWE, because the mayor’s position is an full time job.
It looks as it the King is actually going to run for Mayor of Memphis as a special election is apparently going to be held in Memphis in about 90 days. The position of Mayor of Memphis, Tennessee is a full time position and one cannot hold another job, as I understand the matter. Jerry has often talked seriously, yes we did talk seriously on occasion on our many, many road trips together, about how he would like to do something positive for his hometown. Jerry certainly isn’t running for Mayor for the pay day but as an old school, public official who genuinely cares for his hometown and wants to make it better for all who live there. I heard an interview that the King made on a Memphis radio station where he talked about the grueling, weekly travel we undergo about 51 weeks a year for WWE and how that can wear on a person. ( I can definitely relate to that.) Point being is that Jerry has been announcing on Raw since 1994, with the exception of a short interruption in service along the way, logging some staggering miles. Plus, the King will be 60 this year and I can easily see Jerry Lawler being at the right place at the right time of his life to be a galvanizing force for the apparent racially divided Tennessee city of Memphis.

I had some fun on one of my blogs earlier in the week about King NOT running for Mayor. However, after communicating with Jerry, seeing how serious he is about making a difference in his hometown and his desire to help all the people of Memphis, I not only endorse Jerry’s candidacy but am very proud of him for wanting to do such an honorable thing for the people of Memphis. Jerry Lawler is no professional politician (My gosh I’m tired of political pros) and will likely not even raise significant money to fund his own campaign (which might prove to be his downfall). Jerry will also not be controlled by special interest groups. If the people of Memphis feel that they are tired of professional politicos and want objectivity and a fresh approach to improving their city, then why shouldn’t Jerry Lawler be considered as a serious candidate? Unfortunately, the person who spends the most money on TV/Radio ads will likely get elected which seems to be the norm in today’s political world and that’s a damn shame.

For Monday Night Raw fans, if Lawler wins the Memphis Mayoral race he will have to come off Monday Night Raw which would certainly end an amazing era that started 15 years ago. Jerry and I had approximately 12 great years together sitting at ringside every Monday night during the hottest period ever in WWE but as in all phases of our lives things change.

Chris Benoit’s doctor, Dr. Phil Astin, pled guilty on Jan. 29 to a 175-count federal indictment. He was sentenced today and had something to say before his sentencing:

“I take full responsibility,” Astin told the judge Tuesday. “I am sorry I hurt so many lives. I was thinking that I was looking after my patients.”

The prosecution asked for 11-13 years for the crime. Today the judge handed down a 10 year sentence for Dr. Astin.

Taz Teases Fans In Latest Blog Post - Heading to TNA?

Friday, April 17th, 2009

3221_89116188335_87912513335_2431825_748190_n

Apparently Taz likes to tease the fan (notice, he’s dropped the extra Z). On his Facebook page, Taz says:

Yo,

Well, after leaving WWE recently, I would like to make my first public comments here on the page. I would like to thank the Pro Wrestling fan base for the support through all my years with ECW & WWE! I especially want to thank all of you on this Facebook fan page from all over the world! I try to read most of your comments and I am truly flattered on how many of you supported what I did in the real ECW and my broadcasting accomplishments in WWE. Lets face it, after my debut at MSG vs the great Kurt Angle their wasn’t much for me to “hang my hat on” as a wrestler during my tenure wrestling for WWE.

Now, I want to clear up some “true & false” for all of you….

TRUE
-My contract expired the end of March and I had given my notice several weeks prior
-I ask WWE for my release to pursue other interest
-I offered to call Wrestlemania while I was not contractually obligated….and offered to call the show for free to the company.
-I have fulfilled EVERY obligation to the WWE, and pride myself on leaving the proper/professional way.
-On my way out, from Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn & Stephanie ALL treated me great…which was cool.
-I APPRECIATE all of the offers for appearances but right now I’m just doing very few appearances (if any). I’m gonna chill out and watch my kid hit baseballs.
-I am done wrestling. At 41 years old, several neck and shoulder issues…not happening. I would be a former shell of myself.
-I too have hated the extra “Z”

FALSE
-Burnout (If anything, I’m more inspired & motivated now than ever)

Hopefully that clears up some things people were saying in regards to my situation. Also, I have had the opportunity of becoming friends with so many talented & awesome people within the WWE while working there for nearly 10 years and will miss many of them! I would like to thank the writers, road & studio crew and all the talent…especially guys I have a closer friendship with.

I especially want thank three of the main play by play guys I’ve work with.

Joey Styles
-A dear friend whom I’ve been goombas with for 15 years and will stay friends with! I felt Joey never had a chance to truly be “Joey Styles” in WWE as an announce talent…that’s a shame. But the announce style is completely different than anything Joey ever really did in the business….tough to adapt.

Jim Ross
-The best of the best! True Hall of Famer and a man I respect and appreciate. I cannot thank him enough for all he has taught me as an announcer…as of recent JR & I were the Smack announce team and were doing a strong job in my view….we have shared some good times on many road trips as of recent…BOOMER SOONER!! And I’m a Nebraska Husker fan (lol)

Micheal Cole
-One of my best friends…a guy that truly gave me the confidence to excel as a color commentator years ago in WWE…Cole taught me how to get over the talent, the storylines and get over the brand! He was the only one that had the balls to flat out say to me “its not about you anymore”…I respect that. Amazing work ethic, always would try to find a way for me to get over on him…zero ego & underrated!
I been hearing that Cole has been getting bashed by some on-line fans lately- check this out, if you work at McDonald’s and your boss wants you to cook BicMac’s…you than go and cook BIG MACS! Anyway, I look forward to working with Cole in the future in some capacity be it TV or Radio.

I want thank World Wrestling Entertainment and the McMahon Family for all the years and all the opportunities…they allowed me a great ride which I truly appreciate.

In closing, I’ve been in the Pro Wrestling business for 23 years and I don’t plan on disappearing anytime soon.

I plan to make an impact real soon in this, the ultimate in businesses and keep it’s honor….lol….sorry for crossing the line with my sophomoric humor! Survive if I let you.

FTW
Taz

Top Chef Star to Work with WWE On a New Sandwich Line!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

n36219199931_5393 Those of you who have watched Top Chef will recognize Fabio Viviani. Fabio is co-owner of Cafe Firenze in Moorpark, CA, and won the title of Fan Favorite during the show.

Fabio is active on Facebook and left a message early this morning that sad:

Fabio Viviani is working with the WWE World Wrestling Federation and has to come up with a new SANDWICH LINE inspired by their 9 most Famous WRESTLERS SUPERSTARS !!! I love it !!!

How interesting! Looks like Fabio is going to be creating some delicious sandwiches that are named after WWE Superstars - but which superstars? And where will the sandwiches be sold?! Hopefully we can find out the information soon.

How about these for sandwiches Fabio?

Rey Mysterio 619 - 6 slices of turkey, 1 layer of cheese, and 9 jalapeno’s
Batista Bomb - a huge sandwich full of beef!
Undertaker’s Tombstone - a pizza based sub
HHH’s Pedigree - filled with all the finer things, including the leanest cuts of meat and truffle oil.
John Cena’s 5 Knuckle Shuffle - Five different cuts of meat - a meat lover’s sandwich!

Got any other ideas for subs, readers?

rourke-wrestler

Remember all that talk about Mickey Rourke taking on Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania?! Looks like that’s not going to happen. Rourke’s rep says that “Mickey was very honored to be asked as he has the greatest respect for WWE”, however - Mick is “focusing entirely on his acting career”, so he won’t be at Wrestlemania.

WWE Events in Sex Clubs….Yeah Its True!

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

-A question that I’m frequently asked by people in Baltimore is whether there are any restaurants or bars that show the WWE pay-per-views. During the Monday Night Wars era, it wasn’t hard to find such places, but with UFC replacing WWE as the trendy form of “fighting” entertainment, pretty much the only place to watch a WWE pay-per-view is in someone’s living room.

Until now, that is. Fantasies Nightclub is advertising that it will show a WWE pay-per-view for the first time with its broadcast of The Great American Bash tonight. Admission is free. The naked truth about where you can watch The Great American Bash

Raw Results 7/7 - Two Major GAB Matches Revealed

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Raw opens with Vickie Guerrero sitting in the middle of the ring in a wheelchair. CM Punk walks down to the ring, and Vickie says that Edge’s demise was due to CM Punk beating Edge, the same way Edge did to the Undertaker. CM Punk says that Vickie could marry any of the roster, even the Great Khali!

Vickie stands up and slaps him. Punk tells Vickie that she’s got a one way ticket back to Smackdown.

JBL runs out and says that he should be champ and challenges Punk to a match.

Cena comes out and tells JBL that we don’t play the “blame game” on Raw, and to go back where he’s from. JBL says that since there is no McMahon there tonight, it will be Cena VS JBL for the #1 Contendership for the next PPV against CM Punk.

Batista comes out and says that he wants a piece of Punk. Cena changes the match to a triple threat match for the contendership at the Great American Bash.

Kane comes down and says that he wants to get in as well, so CM Punk proposes a “Fatal Four Way”.

Match #1: Mysterio VS Santino Marella

Ray hits a 619 on Marella then to the top rope for a spash and the pin.

WINNER: Mysterio

CM Punk is asked by Michael Grissom as to who he would favor to go against at GAB. Lighting falls in front of hte camera and Snitsky confronts Punk. CM Punk makes a match against Snitsky to prove that his win is not a fluke.

Match #2: Layla and Jillian Hall VS Kelly Kelly and Mickie James

Jerry the king Lawler says Kelly Kelly is like a museum “touch with your eyes and not your hands!”

Kelly Kelly sits on Jilians shoulders and crouches down for a victory roll.

WINNER: Mickie James and Kelly Kelly

JBL’s limo arrives. The doors lock and JBL looks puzzled. Cena comes out of the back of the limo and says that the limo won’t pass inspection, but that he knows two guys who can fix cars quick - Chryme Type comes out from the limo. Cryme Tyme smashes the mirror with a bat and smash a hole in the windshield, destroying the limo (and writing “JBL is Poopy” in orange spray paint) on the limo.

Match #3: CM Punk VS Snitsky

Punk slingshots over the top rope onto Snitsky for the crossarm block. CM Punk with GTS on Snitsky.

WINNER: Batista

Batista will face CM Punk at the Great American Bash

We’re Back!

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Sorry for the lengthy delay, but I have a good excuse! We were getting so many hits, that all of the servers owned by 451 Press (ie. the company who owns this blog) crashed! They had to spend an indecent amount of money getting new servers so that they could keep up with all of the traffic.

As always, wrestling fans prove that we’re hardcore!

Anyway, I’ll be searching for the latest news and gossip all day, but here are a few wallpapers as my apology for being down for so long - thanks for hanging in there guys!
