If he wanted a 'Mania match, they should have just given him Jimmy Snuka's spot last Sunday. Lawler wouldn't have stunk up the ring like Jimmy did. I just don't feel like putting Lawler in a one-on-one match at the biggest PPV of the year would be a good move. People don't pay $55 to see an announcer get his ass kicked.

No, but they pay $55 bucks to see Kid Rock waste 20 minutes.

Ideally they would put him against another legend, maybe someone from his Memphis past.
What would really be great, would be him facing Savage(if he is in shape and dyes his hair and beard)

Wasn't it rumored years back that Lawler was going to face Jim Carrey at Wrestlemaina 16, or maybe it was 17, after the whole movie-set incident during The Man on the Moon filming?

His running mate in Memphis...Double J dammit!!
Make WM 26 like WM 2 and hold it in 3 different places. Arizona, Memphis, and Philly.
Memphis gets Lawler vs Jarrett obviously, as well as Orton vs R-Truth for the Smackdown World Title, and Shawn-Undertaker II....both men's final match ever!
Arizona gets Cena vs Batista, as well as a 25 diva battle royal with a special concert by Pink during all the intros, and Triple H vs CM Punk for the Raw World Title.
Philly gets a 4 way TLC match with Edge and Christian, The Hardys, The Dudleys, and champions Miz/Morrision for the tag belts, Tommy Dreamer vs Raven in Hell In the Cell for the ECW World Title, and Hogan vs Austin!

I seem to recall that, but the movie didn't do well at all, so they probably considered it, I'm also thinking that Carrey didn't want to do it, because it was one thing to emulate Andy on the set, but different to do it at a wrestling event.

A match against his son wouldn't be so bad actually.
Have Brian come out looking washed up and blaming his dad for letting him get fired from the WWE and ruining his life, like father like son.
Have Brian taunt him for weeks and eventually set up a match for Mania.

Jim Carey could've been a modern day Zeus, becoming so close to his character that he wanted to avenge him in real life...
Anyway, I know that Josh Matthews is a trained wrestler and just got his first chance to commentate on ECW last night. With about 3-4 months until WM, they could have him appear on Raw after King has a match (I'm there would be a feud he could fit in...) and mention how it feels right to be there.
Then...he'd keep showing up. Matthews would start harassing King about when he's going to "Completely retire" from wrestling so a young announcer like himself can call the new generation. King, obviously, wouldn't want to quit just because Matthews told him too.
Matthews becomes a backstage interviewer for Raw. Every once in a while when they go to the back he says, "Coming to you from backstage instead of the announcer's booth where I belong..." as he continues to badger King. Finally, Matthews appeals to the King's fighting side. He challenges him to a match. Winner commentates Raw!
King laughs. Why would he face another announcer when he can still face other wrestlers? He tells Matthews to save himself a beating and give up. Therefore, Matthews sets himself up a squash match on Raw, beating up some developmental guy to show he does have some skill.
When King still won't accept, Matthews does another match, this time: commentating over the microphone like King used to do when building to his match with Bret Hart. King still laughs him off.
With WM coming up, Matthews gets desparate. Shouldn't a young announcer be calling WM? Shouldn't he get a spot that he obviously deserves? Matthews gets a win against a mid-carder and calls King out again. "Am I at your level yet? Huh?" King just shakes his head causing Matthews to attack him. King controls until security breaks it up.
Finally, Raw GM Vickie Guerrero steps in. If King won't accept, then she'll just make the match to stop all the fuss. So, live on Raw, it'll be Josh Matthews vs. Jerry Lawler, winner is Raw's commentator.
The match happens. Josh cheats. Lawler counters. Josh cheats some more. Lawler counters. Finally, there is a ref bump and Josh hits Lawler with brass knucks. Lawler kicks out. Matthews "accidentally" falls on the ref to knock him back out. Matthews grabs a chair, but Lawler counters and levels the plucky young announcer...as the ref calls for the bell. Jerry is DQed and Matthews is Raw's announcer.
Matthews gloats over a few weeks until it is announced that while Matthews is Raw's commentator, Jerry Lawler will be in the booth at WM.
Matthews is irate. He 'earned' his spot! He deserves to call WM! Therefore, he makes another challenge. He beat King once, he can do it again. At WM. The first match on the card. Winner calls WM!
Of course, the only way King will agree is if Matthews agrees to put up his Raw spot, which occurs.
Then, King and Matthews have a match at WM ending with Jerry nailing the piledriver on the biggest stage of them all and goes to the booth.
From there, Matthews could either go back to ECW to sulk, go to ECW to become a regular member of the roster, go back to interviewing, or perhaps even go to SD.

Not bad needs a Lawler fireball spot though.

Have Brian taunt him for weeks and eventually set up a match for Mania. If anything, the fact that Lawler never acted like he was Brian's father on camera and, apparently often enough off camera, could be a source of dispute. "I could've been huge, DAD! I could've been the Prince of Memphis! But, you never let me wear the crown..."
