I thought Lawler left WWE about 15 years ago 🤔
@rarelikecandy
Ай бұрын
nah 15 years ago he very much was on commentary
2003 jerry lawler and jim ross is my favorite announcer tandem they were the tandem i hear watch way back in my young wwe fan
Flairs last match was a legitimate disgrace

It should have never happened, and think how badly it would have hurt the careers of everyone involved if Ric had not survived that heart attack.

He's genuinely one of my least favorite personalities on the channel.
I think KO has become kinda introspective since Windham's passing. He's been making a point to enjoy things and I love what that's brought to his character. 100% would watch him just (pardon the unintended pun) swanning about, especially with animals as a show.
There isn't a lot that Lawler can tribute anymore. He can just go the wrestling convention route now.
As for Ric, I mean he isn't really an active wrestler anymore but I do wonder if he had a moment of Kayfabe for the crowd and started acting like the Ric Flair of old that we saw on camera. A top heel and heat magnet and this shows he's still got that... Even if it was entirely inappropriate 😂
WWE has taken care of Lawler more than they needed to. Imagine getting a paycheck all these years and doing next to nothing for it.

"being a drunk buffoon" - that made me laugh out loud for real!!
If Lawler wasn't already on a Legends Contract, then what was his contract based on? He wasn't doing anything but the occasional 10 second video message. Also, Andy Sissy McGiggles Murray, are you really calling out Lawler for making a Pearl Harbor joke pointed at Taka Michinoku? My goodness.... You're criticizing Flair for calling out a restaurant for bad service. Does it ever end!?
Lawler was a big part of wrestling for many of us but it seems that they haven't had a role for him for a while.

oh get real, andy dont want him to have a forum because they dont like him, there are plenty of old people in wrestling, nonne of this for sting, none of this when tully had a match in aew... andy preach about "not being safety police" when AEW do somethign dumb (how many times has fenix been injured now?) but when he just want someone he dont like to go away he pretend to care about their safety
That KO/Kayla in France video was nearly *ten* minutes, not one. Andy has lost track of time in general, that's why he's started doing up to TWO twenty minute + news videos a day...
Not me, casually watching my favourite Wrestling News team and hearing my Andy Murray tweet unexpectedly read out! Much love to the whole crew there. Y'all keep me sane
Haku in the Rumble - I can't see him agreeing to be thrown out by Logan Paul after getting beat up by Dom-Dom and J.D.😂
Ric Flair doing Ric Flair things is simultaneously hilarious and sad
One thing about Lawler's deal expiring, they said it's been a few months since it happened, which means Vince might still have been around when it happened. Meaning there was still some of the old regime that could have fought for it and didn't, so this crap about it wouldn't have happened is just that, crap.
Andy doesn't seem to realize "puppies" Lawler was a work, sure he likes them but I guarantee Vince was telling him to overreact like that. 🤷♂️

The fact he said he took too long on the toilet and followed with “what a load of crap” and didn’t realize the amazing pun he’d just said….makes me sad 😅
You didn’t mention that WWE had to specifically reach out and clarify to PWInsider that Jerry still had a legends contract, rendering all of the targeted "he would have been taken care of" BS completely irrelevant.
Has Flair been "Florida Man" this whole time? The legend grows! Woooo!!!
i dont see why AEW wouldnt want jerry lawler and jim ross as a commentary team, they could dispose of sockface and make the commentary actually entertaining
I thought Kevin Owens just resigned a new deal just last year
Hearing about Fair's last match makes it sound like it was worthy of being shown during that Pathetic debacle that was called Heroes of Wrestling PPV.
Maybe WWE didn't want another ticking time bomb of sexual assault allegations on the books.
How are we comparing Grimes to Lawler who's been with the company for decades??? Take care of your legends.
AGENDA! …. Sorry just wanted to join in 😂
This news talks about a broadcast deal, what about a Legends deal? It would be crazy to think he isn't already on one. If not that needs to happen. The comment in the end makes me feel like PWI is still bitter about HHH's comments about dirt sheets. I remember hearing Flair had passed out twice during the match, I didn't know it was three times. The fact he had a heart attack and didn't know is insane. The match was a real mess and many agree it should have never happened. I think KO will re-sign WWE has been very good to both him and Sami. He might tease leaving again like he did last time, but TKO knows what they have.
Being from New Orleans, I wanted to cheer for Ricky so badly, but he has not helped himself in that regard. While tag champions with Big Bill, he released some comments along the lines of I don't have any friends here. I only talk to Cody. I say let him go to his greener pastures, and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
People in the comments upset that the things said in the 90s isnt something you can say noe AND mad that people say theg hate Vince? The hell is wrong with you?
Ric Advisor
Jerry shouldnt really need to be taken care of by wwe at this point. He's 74, he's worked there 32 years. If he hasnt saved up something for retirement, then i dont know what to say.
Damn, they spend a lot of time on Flair
KO is one of the best title chaser and I believe cody will be a better chaser than champion
I hope you boys got a creme brule after finishing the video!!
10:43 WOOOOO!! 😂
Man its awesome I love watching all pro wrestling some are better then others but I enjoy it all! I was into AEW a lot more years ago! But some of it has fallen off! But I still follow to see what might favs are doing! I love WWE its improved a lot under the trips era! But then there is TNA, NJPW, NWA, PWG NWA and many other smaller promotions! They all have something for me to enjoy watching and it also gives me a chance to see some of up and coming stars! Idc about the iwc they will never steer my mind on my pro wrestling yes some need more improvement then other but hey this is why there some many options even Europe has a lovely wrestling seen I enjoy it all! And I watch what culture cause I enjoy you guys as well!
is it true Ric Flair called Teddy Long the "N" word back in the days?
Flair has a permanent vendetta against Pizza place management; Jim Herd was a Pizza Hut exec who took over WCW and fired him after trying to change his gimmick, and now this poor guy (who *I think* was hiding from *him* 🤣🤣) ...
Andy Murray is so insufferable. I honestly don't know why I stay subscribed to this channel. I pray for the day he gives up hosting and stays behind the camera.

NO!!!! If this was 15-20 years ago I might be up for it, but definitely not now. It's bad enough having JR on AEW TV from time to time actively detracting from the product without adding Jerry Lawler into the mix. Don't get me wrong, I loved the duo in the 90's and early 2000's because they were the best at that time. In 2024 however, JR is the the 4th best commentator AEW have (if he decides he actually cares about what is going on in the ring, and if I'm being generous) and Jerry Lawler would easily be the worst commentator on their books if they hired him

Wow! I can feel the salt coming from every breath Andy exhales. It's okay mate, WWE took a shot at your profession and you become unbearable within 72 hours. You take a shot at them all of the time so you should be prepared to handle some clap back.
Who’s to say Jerry didn’t say look guys I’ve about had it he’s got pretty old probably doesn’t want to die on camera

Depends, is KO tired of working that brutal 3 day a week schedule? AEW would probably offer him more money to work 1 day a week. WWE should absolutely go out of their way to keep him, but maybe he is just sick of such a rigorous unforgiving schedule. You can only go so long spending only 3 days at home and performing in front of thousands of people.

Ric Flair needs to really think about retiring. He’s sort of embarrassing himself now and he’s losing his dignity more and more.
Getting mad people don't have a job for life? Sorry, that's the kind of thing that should go away. If you're not helping the company, why are you there drawing a check? King was great for a lot of years with WWE, but that was quite a whil ago. I wish him the best in his continued recovery, but I just don't think anyone should ever have a job for life.
