Video with Jerry "The King" Lawler talking about the Delta Fair. Lawler stated, "Crime is probley the number one reason why the Mid-South Fair and people, in general, have left Memphis. "They just don't feel safe." Lawler added, "There's roughly 679,000 Memphians in the city of Memphis and only 2,000 police officers. Now, common sense will tell you, that's not enough. That's roughly one police officer for every 350 citizens. We need more police on the streets. We need policeman that the community can trust. Whether you've actually been touched by crime or not. Whether you've actually been a victim or not, we're all victims of crime. It robs us of our sense of security. It robs us of our feeling of safety. It robs the city of its livability. And that's one of the main reasons that I'm in this race for mayor. It's one of the main reasons that I'm running. We need somebody that is gonna be tough on crime. And you know, I've been known, all my life, to be a pretty tough guy. I'm damn sure I'm gonna be tough on crime if I'm elected. Lawler noted that A.C. Wharton, back in 1980, took over the Public Defender's Office, defending criminals and putting them back on the streets. Lawler said he has a comprehensive crime plan that you can read at JerryLawler2009.com or LawlerforMayor.com.
Opening the Vaults featuring a match between Jerry "The King" Lawler and Lord Humongous with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart in his corner. Lawler wrestled the opening moments of the match, wearing a Lord Humongous mask until Hugo pulled it off. Hugo was punishing Lawler until, Jerry kicked the big man down low to escape a cobra clutch. The strap came down and Lawler ripped the mask off of Humongous. Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart tried to get in the ring, but was cutoff and chased by "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol, who had a baseball bat. Meanwhile, Ox Baker jumped in, attacking Lawler. Hugo put the mask back on. Hugo held Lawler while Baker hit him with the heart punch. Eddie Marlin came in, but got knocked down. Baker and Hart put the boots to Marlin. That trips me out when Jimmy Hart starts kicking folks. It's like he's going a hundred miles an hour and trying to put out a fire or something. Austin Idol ran back in with the bat to clear the ring. Hugo, Baker, and Hart tried another attack on Marlin, but Idol stopped them, again.
Corey spoke with "Dirty" Dutch Mantel about facing Lawler at the Delta Fair.
More classic action featuring "Dirty" Dutch Mantel in a 6-Man Tag, teaming with Stagger Lee and Terry Taylor facing The Bruise Brothers, (Jake, Elwood/Porkchop Cash and Mad Dog) managed by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart.
Corey stated that as far as he knows, the Delta Fair show is the last event of the year that's totally free.
Footage from last year's Delta Fair with Derrick King and Johnny Dotson, accompanied by Rashard Devon defeated Los Locos (Ramon and Raul) when Derrick rolled up Ramon in the corner with a little extra added assistance from the ropes.
More from "The King" as Lawler talked about the Delta Fair and the debate from a couple weeks ago. Jerry admitted he was a little flustered sitting next to Prince Mongo. Lawler added, "I mean, most of you people saw what this guy looked like, but seeing him was bad enough. But you saw him on television. Well, I saw him in smellevision. I mean, I'm telling ya, the guy smelled like a goat! I guess he hadn't bathed in like a month! It's the truth! And I'm sitting like two feet away from the guy! It was unbelievable!" Jerry discussed that if elected, he would like to be an ambassador for Memphis on WWE's Monday Night Raw on the USA Network, in order to travel to other cities, promoting Memphis on a worldwide scale. Lawler said he wants to market Memphis like a WWE Superstar and sell Memphis to the world and being on that worldwide television would help bring tourism and industries to the city.
Video from this year's AutoZone Park event with Buff "The Stuff" Bagwell vs Jerry "The King" Lawler-Rocky The Redbird tripped Buff. While Buff was distracted by Rocky, Lawler rolled him up with a schoolboy to get the win.
