Yesterday, WWE officially released “It’s Good To Be The King: The Jerry Lawler Story” on DVD and Blu-ray formats – have you got your copy yet?
Word yesterday was that the Blu-ray had quickly sold out in many stores across the United States. It’s also still listed as the “#1 Best Seller” in Sports here on Amazon.com.
As of writing, the Blu-ray edition has been removed from WWE’s official site, as you can see here on WWEShop.com, which may indicate that they sold out of their initial numbers.
But, if you are able to get your hands on the Blu-ray, here’s what it looks like…
Thanks to WDN reader Eddie Austin for sharing the photos!

Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but there’s a printing error on the blu-ray listings. They show the empty arena match as being the start of disc 2 but that’s on disc 1. Everything up to and including the casket match against The Undertaker is on disc 1. The rest of the content is on disc 2.
