LAWLER LIES....

--Jerry Lawler was on the ch. 13 news in Memphis saying steroid use is rare in wrestling. The King may have never done steroids himself, but saying that only shows he can lie with the best of them. One of the reasons wrestling will always have problems is because so many of the people in wrestling deny even the most obvious problems.

----What did you expect him to say; really?? He is just saying the company line on this one and I would not expect him to say anything else but that. Or maybe he could have said, "I have never used steroids, but it would be hard to say other wrestlers have never used steroids." BTW, for a guy that is turning 58 this November, Lawler is probably in the best shape he has ever been in. During my interview with him, he did look his age in the face, but you could tell he works out and keeps fit. He even said "no thanks" to a energy drink from Kenny Valiant because "those things are full of carbs."
----Lawler did make comments about the Sal Corrente on his web site, which were actually posted the Friday morning of the day I interviewed him that night. The post is very similar to what he had said to me that night. An interesting note on the whole Corrente/Lawler situation is that Lawler is suppose to be served papers on 7.20.07 in Tunica, MS at "Sam's Town", but he is scheduled to be at Ohio Valley Wresting for a "Six Flags" show at 7:30 PM that night. If Lawler is advertised for the Memphis Wrestling show, then they are doing a "bait & switch" and doing a big angle revolved around him getting arrested.
