"The Big Cheese" Talks with rasslinriotonline.com

Jerry "the King" Lawler walked into the court room at 9:30 AM, only 30 minutes late – as they had already called courtroom attendance twice. He was wearing a Superman watch, which Sal Corrente said, “I found this very disturbing that he was wearing that watch because, Superman stands for truth, justice and the American way.”

Lawler had a laptop of the video of him hitting Corrente and said that is how he always hits people in the business. Lawler also made statements about Corrente inciting fans and showed the video of that. Lawler never responded to why he chased Sal in the parking lot.

Corrente felt that one of the problems was the way he filled out the warrant, which did not include info about the later parking lot incident. And, because it showed evidence on the video that he walked over to Lawler to get hit. Corrente had also signed a release form at the Fed Ex Forum show, which I guess pretty much covered Memphis Wrestling’s butt if anything like this happened. Lawler told the judge during the proceedings that 90% of wrestling is not planned. Lawler also made comments about how hard Booker T had hit him Monday night.

Lawler admitted that he was part owner of Memphis Wrestling with Corey Maclin. Strange that Maclin didn’t even show up to show support of Lawler?? Lawler may have requested that though.

Corrente also stated to rasslinriotonline.com that if they would have got their request for a continuance that he would have called as witnesses Koko Ware, Corey Maclin, Sam’s Town employees and The Assassins. Since this is the end of the criminal charges, his only route would be a civil suit and he would not comment on whether that was planned or not.
