For over 40 years, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler has been abusing opponents with his fists or with a microphone….sometimes both!
With over 140 championships to his credit, Lawler is one of the most decorated superstars in wrestling history, earning him a place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. And while he holds victories over almost every major wrestler of the last thirty years, he is best known for his feud with comedian Andy Kaufman including a very memorable confrontation on Late Night with David Letterman where Lawler slapped Kaufman right out of his chair!
The King still laces up his boots every now and then and he’s a regular on WWE programming. He’s also the proprietor of a popular nightclub on Beale St, and the owner of the Jerry Lawler Memphis BBQ Company.
Most recently, The King has been making a splash in the comic book world contributing painted covers for the critically acclaimed wrestling comic book, Headlocked. In addition, he has produced painted covers for Dynamite’s Zorro, Green Hornet, and several WWE comics. He’s also drawn artwork for hundreds of wrestling programs, illustrated children’s books, and has produced sketch cards for Topps.
