Lawler was NO joke up until they turned him into "uncle Jerry"

I'm honestly shocked he made it outta ECW arena. Then again dude was dealing with drunk southern crowds for 20 plus prior to that so I'm sure he welcomed the challenge

Lawler heard they had a PPV called 'Barely Legal' and was

Dreamer had to go get blood drained from his testicles because they were apparently swollen up.

funny taz really had to kayfabe this shyt his whole life, said he would never go to bars or go out to protect his character. beat me if you can, survive if I let you.

That's so old school. Undertaker used to do the same thing before he became semi-retired. Recently, I read that Enzo was wearing his cruiserweight belt around LA & heeling it up. I wish more wrestlers would live that kayfabe life, it would make their characters more interesting.
