It’s good to be the King every day, but it’s especially good today, because…
…WWE has released “It’s Good To Be The King: The Jerry Lawler Story” on DVD!
Not only that, but the Blu-ray edition of the Jerry Lawler set is right now listed as the “#1 Best Seller” in Amazon’s Sports category. Take a look at that here on Amazon.com.
WWEShop.com also now have both DVD and Blu-ray versions in stock now.
As reported, a documentary is the main feature on this one. The Jerry Lawler DVD/Blu-ray officially releases to the UK and Europe next week, following to Australia the week after.
Speaking of the new DVD, Jerry Lawler was a guest on “Cerrito Live” at the weekend to hype its release. On there, Lawler revealed that he was “very involved” with selecting the content of the Home Video, working alongside Matt Rogers, a WWE Network series producer.
Lawler also stated that for the most part WWE let him pick out the Memphis Wrestling material he wanted and that the selected matches came from the library of Memphis content that he himself owns, at a price to WWE. As you may recall from the content listing, there are five such matches included (counting Blu-ray exclusives), plus clips in the documentary.

Jim Cornette reminds me of the mobster who gets arrested and spills his guts to the FBI about the inner workings of the mob. I like shoot interviews and all, but there’s something desperate about them by the people being interviewed. They can’t find work in the business anymore because they badmouthed everyone around, so now they expose it.
We all know professional wrestling is a scripted TV show. We know the inner workings of the business, but we really shouldn’t. Some things should stay behind the curtain.
Watched the Lawler documentary over the weekend (Amazon shipped my copy early), and it’s good, but kind of brief considering the length of his career.
