During a recent appearance on the “WrestleBinge” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler recounted his legal battle with Vince McMahon regarding the use of Harley Race as “The King” in Memphis and Nashville.
In the end, McMahon extended an olive branch to Lawler, asking if he would consider joining WWE while also allowing Lawler to continue wrestling in Memphis.
Here are some notable moments from the podcast:
Jerry Lawler discussing his lawsuit against Vince McMahon: “We were engaged in a heated conflict. There was a point when I legally challenged Vince McMahon after he introduced Harley Race as ‘The King’ in Memphis and later in Nashville. To my surprise, I won the lawsuit and assumed my association with him would end with that.”
On the topic of how his association with Vince McMahon began in the early 1990s: “It’s difficult to pinpoint what happened exactly, but one day he just rang me up and proposed, ‘Hey, how about joining us and keeping up your work in Memphis?’ and I responded, ‘Well, if that’s an option, yes, I’m in.’”
