----As most would expect today has been a busy day with tons of people calling about the Sal Corrente/Lawler shoot. I got this from a source close to the situation. He says that Corrente was rubbing the whole Memphis crew the wrong way, especially Jerry Lawler. Apparently he came in with promises to various people about having a bunch of money invested in running some shows. When a worker would ask about getting booked on those said shows, then he would just be ignored. One guy said, “He just acted like a big shot, but he wasn’t.” Koko Ware also got some shots in on him during the melee.
----Now with this being the “company’s story” about why Lawler would hit Corrente, then I ask myself – if you didn’t like the guy then why push him to the top?? Why use him in the main event at the last two big shows?? Could you have just told him that you were not going to use him?? In any other business in the world, you would fire the guy, not just sucker punch him. It makes it ok, since it is professional wrestling. Nothing professional about that bro..nothing at all.
