From: Memphis, TN Favorite Quote: "Look, J.R., puppies!" The King has held court for more than 30 years and it seems as if there is going to be nothing to slow down this legend for a long time to come. Currently a member of the RAW announce team, Jerry “The King” Lawler was one of the key figures to guide the ascension of sports entertainment from regional territories to International prominence and, as a result, he is as well-known around the world as any WWE Superstar. His unique insight into sports entertainment, high-pitched voice describing the action, and insatiable lust for “puppies” has Lawler still at the height of his popularity more than 30 years into his career. While The King has scored victories over legends from Terry Funk to Hulk Hogan during his career, he is perhaps best known for his rivalry with entertainer Andy Kaufman that led to a role alongside Jim Carrey in the hit film, “Man in the Moon.” The Lawler-Kaufman battles raged not only in the ring, but on television as well. Lawler’s incident on “Late Night with David Letterman” where he slapped Kaufman is considered one of the most memorable moments in that show’s history. Along with partner, Jim Ross, Lawler brings a unique brand of commentary to RAW that draws millions of followers around the world each week. The King has become so popular that he even wrote an autobiography. “It’s Good to be the King…sometimes” was released in late 2002 to critical acclaim and is still one of the best sellers in the WWE autobiography series. |
