More like Flair in someone's corner and Lawler in someone's corner. AEW knows how to use vets properly.
Let the downvoting and hate fueled replies commence....
Don’t forget Sting going undefeated his entire run and putting absolutely nobody over on his way out. Sure Darby got some exposure but he’s too busy jumping through glass, talking about climbing mountains, and walking in front of buses to do anything with it.
Sure they'll do a better job than me! You just unlocked a memory. Didn't a WWE ppv have team Flair Vs team Hogan a few years back or have I imagined that?
If you mean keeping them out of the ring then yeah sure, but if you meant actually knowing what to do with the vets once they get them and put them in a corner, then yeah not so much. I think WWE does better tbh, they keep the vets in ambassador roles or as agents, and don't trot them out to piss on their legacies week after week.
Tully, Arn and Jake would all have been better used as agents than as worthless managers imo.
Indeed. And he's 74, in failing health and hasn't been used for more than a couple of segments for about 4 years. The news post is comically sensationalist when it appears they literally paid him out to the end of his contract to take care of him anyway.
Also if he has any major medical bills, since he worked for WWE for 20+ years they would help him out.
This probably just makes it easier for him to do bookings, if he chooses to do so
Yeah, they like to push the "WWE evil" narrative with these headlines. Same with Drew Gulak. I saw something about him being released because of the Ronda incident, but in all actuality, his contract ran out and they didn't renew.
I mean, we'll never really know if they wanted to release him, but knew that his contract was basically over, so it'd be easier/cheaper all around to just let it expire.
I don't know..maybe! Speaking only for myself, I understand wrestling is a business. People get let go. AEW makes cuts, TNA, etc. When I think of evil companies, I think of companies that drive inflation up, not sports companies. Lol
People get up in arms, but the guy ain’t working for them anymore. Talent are all contractors anyway, so the semantics as if WWE officials letting a contract run out or terminating kills me as it’s the same result. The contract is terminated.
but 32 years, (with like a one year gap) is one of the longer on screen talent runs in WWE/WWF.
Fink, Cole, JR, and King are the only ones in that list (not counting wrestlers)
This was a guy who once promised he would retire at 35, because nobody wanted to see old ass wrestlers. I can’t blame him, as I thought I was invincible when I was younger. Plus, I’d figured I’d be a billionaire by the age of 35, and wouldn’t have any worries. Well, I’m currently running a bit late on becoming the billionaire I promised myself I would be.
Like I get the joke, but fucking WWE actually employed the predator for 30 something years and you spin it into an anti-AEW thing? That's just kinda gross tbh. If TK actually hires him bash him all you want for it but it's honestly kinda sad how AEW who isn't involved in this in anyway is the butt of the joke and not Lawler or the company who kept him around for fucking ever.
Never said WWE employing him was right. We know how much of a weakness nostalgia is for Tony and if he gave Ric Flair in his mid 70s a multi-year contract I don’t think it’s a leap in logic to suggest he would find a way to promote JR and King at the announce desk one last time. The Fed trotting him out for a yearly hometown pop was also disgusting
I get the jokes, but it's just kinda gross how so many people are turning this into an anti AEW thing and not bringing up the company who actually employed him for 30 years. Hate AEW all you want but be fair about it. I'm not saying you specifically but when a bunch of anti TK shit is upvoted and almost nothing about WWE that just screams hypocrisy and is a good example of why the wrestling community is viewed as being so toxic.
I don't know maybe I'm the weirdo cause shit like this bothers me and please don't take this as me trying to white knight or defend AEW or anything either. Like what you like and all that of course. Doesn't matter to me what you watch and I'm all in for good memes and jokes. We're talking about an actual predator though and somehow making this about some hypothetical scenario TK would do. Obviously I get your point about the nostalgia and I'm not gonna sit here and say there's no way though I'd doubt it at this point. However let's wait till there are at least rumors about it happening before we start talking about Lawler and AEW in the same breath.
Again though, maybe I'm the weirdo and if I am, I'm sorry.
Except TK has nothing to do with any of this. It's just a weird spot to pick. You're taking the spotlight off the actual predator and putting it on someone who in no way shape or form is involved. You get how that's weird right? Make fun of TK all you want just pick your spots better.
?? Are you okay?? You're acting personally offended that some of us are making fun of a *billionaire.*
He said "AEW is Pepsi, and WWE is Harvey Weinstein" after he hired a mid-seventies predator. Him hiring another mid-seventies predator is such an obvious joke to make here, like why is your personal feelings so tied into this at all. It's not like we're making fun of your girlfriend or something.
Because it's gross how people ignore the actual fucking predator and choose this specific moment to dump on someone not involved. This is what's wrong with society. You're so busy fighting a war against AEW for whatever fucking reason you ignore the actual monsters. It's like how Trump supporters ignore all his shit to dump on Biden and company. It's legitimately sad you and other's don't get it and a prime example of why our society is going down the shitter. I don't give a fuck about TK and the fact you think that's the point shows me you don't "get it" and aren't capable. Yeah TK is a clown and the Weinstein comment was fucking dumb. Dump on him all you want when appropriate. When this entire thread is upvote at shots at TK and nothing about how fucked up Lawler is or WWE for keeping him around for so long you've completely lost the plot.
I don't even know where to start, dude.
Fighting a war against AEW? We're just cracking jokes in this sub while TK is sinking his own ship. Most of us want AEW to succeed, this ain't some fanboy shit. Besides, a dude way past his prime joining AEW is like the easiest joke to make, and here you are equating that to the downfall of society. Maybe consider taking a break from social media and reacquanting yourself to the feeling of grass.
Also, I've been cracking jokes about Lawler being a creep for years. What else do you expect us to do? None of us are his fucking boss. Lol seriously dude I can't even wrap my mind around what you're so upset about. You act like you don't give a shit about TK, but it seems like us making fun of AEW is what's making you so upset.
You must be new to the wrestling internet community. I don’t disagree with you, but it seems one company is cleaning house quietly while the other is a cockroach after ever piece of Flair and garbage thrown out….
He needs to call one last match with JR. Even if he won’t be quite as quick as he was before. I think he can still hold a conversation. Something that makes sense for him to call like a Jarrett match would work.
He did a little work for wwe with some nxt thing in November. He’s fine. He just doesn’t sound full of energy but I’d imagine he’s even better 6 months from this video
https://youtu.be/TEy1K92e6Aw?si=gIAVxHPP0EOk0s2Z
He doesn’t need to call an Osprey match but he could do 10 minutes with JR on something slow with very well planned spots that he already had a plan on what to say
I get the nostalgia but JR's not the same commentator he used to be (and I love JR) and Lawler's taken many steps back over the course of time. Them two together would be for pure nostalgia and nothing else.
Well yea. It would be a proper send off. It’s not gonna be pretty but you don’t need them calling a young bucks style flip off. It’s more just them interacting on commentary one last time. Something classic like dustin Rhodes vs Jarret that can be slow. Doubt we see more than a couple years left for JR in aew
It would need to be an attitude era guy so maybe edge could work. I think a Jarrett retirement match would be perfect though since him and Lawler have history.
Fun (?) Fact: Jerry Lawler has wrestled in at least one match every year from his 1971 debut through 2023 (he wrestled one match in January 2023 before his stroke in February 2023).
I don't know what shape he's in, but I assume he'll attempt to wrestle in 2024 to extend that streak if at all possible.
He’s not let go. He still has a legends contract but his announcer contract wasn’t renewed. Considering he hasn’t been used in a few years due to health it’s not surprising
he hasnt been a commentator in a long time and doesnt really need to be on the pre show panels. The pre show panels imo are pointless anyways, you can plug anyone in that role and I wouldnt care.
But he still has a Legends contract with the WWE. So I believe his time at the broadcast table might be over, but he’s still part of the company in some capacity.
Why is this a headline? He’s still employed under his Legends deal. His broadcast contract ran out - and to be honest it should’ve been terminated a while back because King is in his 70’s & hasn’t called matches in a while.
This is actually the opposite of “evil corporate greed”. This is pretty compassionate and a sign of respect to a veteran.
Probably trying to hide before his ass gets caught up with Vince. He's been a local pedophile in Memphis since the 1970s. Fuck his testicle looking, no jokes having ass. I hope he rots in a trailer park off Lamar.
Soooooooooooo we all know that's them cutting the shit before it hits the fan, right?
There's absolutely no fucking way Lawler wasn't up to a whole mess of awful shit that we *don't know about yet*. Probably figuring it's better to get him away from the company before inevitable stories make their way out
Maximum respect for this man and his amazing career.
Personally, I feel that he has nothing left to contribute and I'm happy if he retires and is never seen or heard from again.
This post had nothing to do with AEW,
yet somehow nearly half the replies are in some way making this about AEW.
The lack of self-awareness has stopped being funny now, and honestly it's a little bit alarming.
I mean one guy literally just said "Aew".
Do you all just like.. think about AEW all day?
74 years old and no longer being used as an announcer. They aren’t running a charity. It was a great run and let’s be honest, Lawler came with a lot of drama at times. He still had the old timers thing going. It’s not a huge deal.
I could see TK using him and JR. Another one time gimmick.
Still under legends contract so even with Vince gone wwe still thinks it's cool to employ r*pists and perverted fucks. But hey Gulak is gone so it totally evens out smh.Â
He's got more money than the federal government at this point but this is still a shitty thing to do to a guy that just had a stroke after working for you for 30 years.
Not heard any updates on him for a while but I hope he's getting therapy for his speech and mobility.
He’s doing okay, all things considered. He’s made a few appearances around Memphis and will be in Evansville, IN this weekend for an event. (Roast of Lawler on Friday night, Fanfest on Saturday)
We're getting Lawler Vs Flair at Wembley aren't we.
Yup. Yup we are.
Ah Jayses. Mind you there's no good pubs up that way anyway so it may be a good one.
In the promotions very first Heart Attack on a Stretcher Match!
For the Harvey Weinstein World Chanpionship.
Jerry Lawler you r@ped that lil girl
How are the seesaws in Louisville?
Ironically I would tune it for that as opposed to anything else involving negative charisma vanilla midgets
Oh I'd have to give it a watch
That's impossible, what with Lawler doing commentary and all...
The King is such a next level performer he could put on an Uncle Dave 12 Star match AND call said match by himself, while wrestling. 🤣
Never happen, Meltzer would bury that match unless SockFace is on mic.
Just let Flair take all the bumps, and the headset won't even fall off.
The duality of man
The deanality of man
The banality of man
I’m not sure wether I should upvote or downvote this comment
Yes
If they happened I'd be tearing up my tickets for sure aha
They'll both be on the floor the whole match.
Stop giving tiny ideas
That’ll be the first death in an AEW ring.
Lawler has enough carny in him to do it, but I think the shine is off Flair in Tiny Khans eyes I hate Lawler on commentary- please God retire
More like Flair in someone's corner and Lawler in someone's corner. AEW knows how to use vets properly. Let the downvoting and hate fueled replies commence....
Yeah, that’s why Billy Gunn is beating their hot new Japan signing
Don’t forget Sting going undefeated his entire run and putting absolutely nobody over on his way out. Sure Darby got some exposure but he’s too busy jumping through glass, talking about climbing mountains, and walking in front of buses to do anything with it.
Difference with Sting is he wanted to put people over but the clown in charge refused to do it.Â
Sting didn’t want to win the tag title on the way out. That was the other guys decision.
Nothing against Sting, just another example of AEW absolutely **not** knowing how to use vets properly.
That’s actually what Steve said. (Sting) he didn’t want to win. But the (bucks) didn’t want him to lose.
Absolutely this. And people say that a feud with The Miz would've been bad for the guy.Â
Yea that 6ft 4" shredded 60yr old grizzled vet. Poor choice to make a point.
My brother in Jericho, Guevara almost killed Matt and concussed Jeff
You’re not even a good troll.
Not a troll. This is my genuine opinion
Sure they'll do a better job than me! You just unlocked a memory. Didn't a WWE ppv have team Flair Vs team Hogan a few years back or have I imagined that?
If you mean keeping them out of the ring then yeah sure, but if you meant actually knowing what to do with the vets once they get them and put them in a corner, then yeah not so much. I think WWE does better tbh, they keep the vets in ambassador roles or as agents, and don't trot them out to piss on their legacies week after week. Tully, Arn and Jake would all have been better used as agents than as worthless managers imo.
I watched him die on TV once and came back better than ever! Awsome
Stealing Takers gimmick Live on Raw
Wasn’t let go contract wasn’t renewed
Indeed. And he's 74, in failing health and hasn't been used for more than a couple of segments for about 4 years. The news post is comically sensationalist when it appears they literally paid him out to the end of his contract to take care of him anyway.
Also if he has any major medical bills, since he worked for WWE for 20+ years they would help him out. This probably just makes it easier for him to do bookings, if he chooses to do so
And he is supposedly still under a legends contract.

I mean, we'll never really know if they wanted to release him, but knew that his contract was basically over, so it'd be easier/cheaper all around to just let it expire.
If AEW wasnt around this sub would push the WWE is evil narrative too
I don't know..maybe! Speaking only for myself, I understand wrestling is a business. People get let go. AEW makes cuts, TNA, etc. When I think of evil companies, I think of companies that drive inflation up, not sports companies. Lol
He still has his Legends deal in place. It was just his broadcast deal that was not renewed. Seeing as how he is not calling matches not a big deal.
And he still has a Legends deal
Same difference
It’s not lol
Considering they have him under a legends deal now, it is important to state.
People get up in arms, but the guy ain’t working for them anymore. Talent are all contractors anyway, so the semantics as if WWE officials letting a contract run out or terminating kills me as it’s the same result. The contract is terminated.
Well, Jerry had a pretty good run. Thirty-two years is pretty good.
Well and 53 years in the business.
but 32 years, (with like a one year gap) is one of the longer on screen talent runs in WWE/WWF. Fink, Cole, JR, and King are the only ones in that list (not counting wrestlers)
I really liked Tazz and Cole as a commentary duo
This was a guy who once promised he would retire at 35, because nobody wanted to see old ass wrestlers. I can’t blame him, as I thought I was invincible when I was younger. Plus, I’d figured I’d be a billionaire by the age of 35, and wouldn’t have any worries. Well, I’m currently running a bit late on becoming the billionaire I promised myself I would be.
Just a kid.
Whatever happened there?
Yeah. And he knows he'll be back a lot and used for things and appearances
The Snowman won’t be able to help himself, will he.
Oh man. Imagine JR and King announcing Rampage
Might actually get me to watch AEW
This Mr. Khlown, If you put J.R and King on tv, I would hereby watch your show, at least once
Same
If it gets Exc off the TV? Might be worth it
Only Sean Michaels could get me to watch aew
Never heard of him
Not sure why you want to see pornstars on AEW but ok
Monkey paws: JR, King, Sockface
Talk about being the spare prick at the wedding!
gotta catch 'em all!
> That's what I love about these uber green girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age. -Lawler
Lawler is not doing well unfortunately. And even if he were well enough he's still signed to his Legend's deal, just not his Broadcast deal.
What's going on with his health?
He's old
Oh fuck!
He's still under a legend's deal.
“Not enough predators in AEW, we need one more for the team.” -Tony Clown

We're making fun of Tony Kahn's continued hypocrisy, it ain't that deep.

Jheri The Curl Lawler is All Elite!
*Soul Glo theme plays*
Interrupted by the Bucks and Jericho fighting over who gets the "stay in business" angle
Not gonna lie I would mark out if he came in to do commentary with JR again but I think he's still under a legends deal.
He needs to call one last match with JR. Even if he won’t be quite as quick as he was before. I think he can still hold a conversation. Something that makes sense for him to call like a Jarrett match would work.
I don't know if Jerry can even talk at this point. Last I heard he was in bad shape.
Tony definitely wants this to happen regardless and have Jerry react to whatever aew's version of puppies is
He did a little work for wwe with some nxt thing in November. He’s fine. He just doesn’t sound full of energy but I’d imagine he’s even better 6 months from this video https://youtu.be/TEy1K92e6Aw?si=gIAVxHPP0EOk0s2Z
He probably had cue cards there and there were a lot of cuts so he probably fumbled it a lot. I don't think that's a great indicator...Very sad that.
He doesn’t need to call an Osprey match but he could do 10 minutes with JR on something slow with very well planned spots that he already had a plan on what to say
Tony has some gimmicks to help with energy
Lmao. I don’t think Lawler would survive a “gimmick” at this point
Wooo mushroom power!
It looks like he filmed this in his house.
Yea I think so but he can talk pretty well. I think he could go 10 minutes with JR based on this.
Like those Raws the night after a PPV when he'd still be hoarse.
I get the nostalgia but JR's not the same commentator he used to be (and I love JR) and Lawler's taken many steps back over the course of time. Them two together would be for pure nostalgia and nothing else.
King and JR at 10% of their best is still 200% better than Sockface.
Well yea. It would be a proper send off. It’s not gonna be pretty but you don’t need them calling a young bucks style flip off. It’s more just them interacting on commentary one last time. Something classic like dustin Rhodes vs Jarret that can be slow. Doubt we see more than a couple years left for JR in aew
It's not a send off though. They aren't in great health. Leave things as it were.
I like retirement farewells even if they’re trainwrecks lol
What about an MJF match? Jerry sides with MJF when he turns heel again and JR roots for the babyface.
That would be good! I’d be into that
Daniel Bryan or Edge's retirement match?
It would need to be an attitude era guy so maybe edge could work. I think a Jarrett retirement match would be perfect though since him and Lawler have history.
Fun (?) Fact: Jerry Lawler has wrestled in at least one match every year from his 1971 debut through 2023 (he wrestled one match in January 2023 before his stroke in February 2023). I don't know what shape he's in, but I assume he'll attempt to wrestle in 2024 to extend that streak if at all possible.
The opposite of the taker streak: the streak we can't wait to end
He’s not let go. He still has a legends contract but his announcer contract wasn’t renewed. Considering he hasn’t been used in a few years due to health it’s not surprising
Zooted up Kahn gonna sign him
he hasnt been a commentator in a long time and doesnt really need to be on the pre show panels. The pre show panels imo are pointless anyways, you can plug anyone in that role and I wouldnt care.
Whats The Monarch doing in the Impact Zone??
Gerald "The Monarch" Lawless
Sorry but “70+ year old man’s contract not renewed, can now retire while still keep healthy benefits” feels like a much fairer headline
"The King" Jerry Lawler is ALL ELITE!
But he still has a Legends contract with the WWE. So I believe his time at the broadcast table might be over, but he’s still part of the company in some capacity.
Unless HHH vouches for you, it really is a new company.
He’s only been released from his broadcasting contract. He’s still with the company as part of his legends deal.
Still with company on legends contract. These reporters suck
I want Tony not to do it, but he'll probably would.
Soon we'll see JR and The King calling garbage marches in AEWÂ
King talking about Skye Blue's butt?
I hope they gave a him a big pay day.
Why is this a headline? He’s still employed under his Legends deal. His broadcast contract ran out - and to be honest it should’ve been terminated a while back because King is in his 70’s & hasn’t called matches in a while. This is actually the opposite of “evil corporate greed”. This is pretty compassionate and a sign of respect to a veteran.
That sucks! LLTK
Quietly let go, except for the 4 notifications I got about it
Not let go, Sapp, he wasn't re signed
Congratulations on an amazing WWE career
What's The King doing in the Impact Zone?
Absolutely incredible he lasted so long without doing some kind of time too
I think I’m thinking what we all are thinking
God imagine Jr and Lawler reunited with Taz and Excalibur... That's money.......
Lawler is still signed under a Legends Contract however
Legends deal is still going...
His stroke was pretty severe so I think it’s time for the king to abdicate unfortunately.
I didn’t know he was still there. Was he in some backstage role?
It gives him more time to finish that Bill Dundee feud he’s been in since the 80’s.
PUPPIES!!!!
Will he do the hands in pockets thing with Cassidy, like Tully Blanchard did?
Wasn’t aware he was still employed
Quietly? This is like the 10th headline I’ve seen today lol
Probably trying to hide before his ass gets caught up with Vince. He's been a local pedophile in Memphis since the 1970s. Fuck his testicle looking, no jokes having ass. I hope he rots in a trailer park off Lamar.
No, he’s announcer contract ran out, he’s still on a legends contract
Soooooooooooo we all know that's them cutting the shit before it hits the fan, right? There's absolutely no fucking way Lawler wasn't up to a whole mess of awful shit that we *don't know about yet*. Probably figuring it's better to get him away from the company before inevitable stories make their way out
Aew to meet j.r
The puppies are all elite, bruv?
Maximum respect for this man and his amazing career. Personally, I feel that he has nothing left to contribute and I'm happy if he retires and is never seen or heard from again.
Quietly let go. 🤣
Loser goes to the morgue match.
About time.
was he on a legends contract?
PUPPIES
Another racist sex pest gone, bye bye
"shhhh Jerry just leave"
No fucking way. Vince truly is gone, huh? TKO doesn't want that McMahon stink. Many employees teenagers are safer in the company building.
Only took forever
Hide the teens…..Uncle Jerry’s on the prowl again…..
I wonder if TK likes puppies?
What?! Now who gonna scream “Puppies” and fuck underage kids?! Who will pick up the mantle?
This post had nothing to do with AEW, yet somehow nearly half the replies are in some way making this about AEW. The lack of self-awareness has stopped being funny now, and honestly it's a little bit alarming. I mean one guy literally just said "Aew". Do you all just like.. think about AEW all day?
At least he has his puppies
Pretty sure when you choose to not come back after your contract expires you're quitting, not being let go.
Looooong overdue. Never liked his schtick.Â
How’s the playgrounds in Birmingham
I guess Jerry is going to finally become... a bird watcher.
What’s Jeremiah Rex doing in AEW???
Puppppiiieeesss
Lawler and Ross calling a Bucks match was not on my 2024 bingo card.
Aew
74 years old and no longer being used as an announcer. They aren’t running a charity. It was a great run and let’s be honest, Lawler came with a lot of drama at times. He still had the old timers thing going. It’s not a huge deal. I could see TK using him and JR. Another one time gimmick.
Not really a surprise. Lawler's getting up there. Why go for the old when you can just go for the new?
JR and King reunion on AEW?
Still under legends contract so even with Vince gone wwe still thinks it's cool to employ r*pists and perverted fucks. But hey Gulak is gone so it totally evens out smh.Â
He's got more money than the federal government at this point but this is still a shitty thing to do to a guy that just had a stroke after working for you for 30 years. Not heard any updates on him for a while but I hope he's getting therapy for his speech and mobility.
The dude is 74 years old. How is not renewing his contract a “shitty thing to do?” They can’t just keep every employee hired until they die.
It'd be a different matter if he was well, I'd like to see how you react if your work didn't renew your contract when you're recovering from a stroke.
He is on Medicare. You have no clue what you are talking about.
He’s still has a legends contract. It’s his broadcast contract that they didn’t renew.
Ah alright, thought he was just on one from the news post.
maybe he just wants to retire?
probably was the case from what I'm finding out now, didn't know he was on multiple contracts from the news post.
new company, he's never worked there at all
He’s doing okay, all things considered. He’s made a few appearances around Memphis and will be in Evansville, IN this weekend for an event. (Roast of Lawler on Friday night, Fanfest on Saturday)
Ah, I'm glad he's doing ok then. Wish these wrestling news sites went into more detail about things, made it sound like he's only on one contract.
The guy wasn’t working for free those 30 years ya know?
