LAWLER’S AWA TITLE VICTORY OVER CURT HENNING ON MAY 9, 1988 IN MEMPHIS IS NOT ON THIS SET. WHY????
All of Lawler’s matches in WWE were pretty much squash matches.
Nice cover featuring heel Lawler.
I don’t agree with some of the matches that have been listed for his set, even The King himself probably won’t even like. I remember that he hated his match with Roddy Piper and refused to even talk about it on Piper’s dvd set back in 2006, the Kiss My Foot match should be replaced with his In Your House match vs. Bret Hart where Lawler actually won the match. And the Jake Roberts match could’ve worked in the 80s but by the mid 90s it was too late & the match kinda sucked. His earlier matches however are nice and he was a great heel 🙂
Would be cool if it had a glossy slipcover. Gonna be a great release. Also off topic, but just the new Warrior dvd on best buy’s website for just 17.99 and the bluray for 22.99
I like it for the most part. Although, to be critical, I do not like the font choice for the title.
I going buy the wwe it good to be king the Jerry Lawler story dvd
It going be number 1 dvd better then Paul heyman dvd I know Jerry lawler he is from my home town memphis Tennesse he allways be king of wrestling and Memphis Tennesse ps long live
King Jerry lawler from his best friend Mark blaiss
Iron Sheik is that you???
Was hoping for old-school goateed-King.
Alternative title:
“It’s good to be the Pope..”
Would look even more awesome if it was a shiny gold finish like the US Clash of the Champions set.
I love the cover and the spine too. It will stand out wonderfully on my shelf.
