Was it ever reveiled if Jerry Lawler really hated ECW? I saw on a DVD where Jerry hit Tommy Dreamer so hard with a cane that he bled blood for a few days. Jerry Lawler really looked angry whenever they would come up for discussion on RAW and held to it on various DVDs.

It was the thorem that since Lawler was now WWE, he supported only WWE, and nothing WWE wanted to support. Take ECW for example, promoting their talent and wrestling in primetime... on RAW... during the Monday Night War. Fortunately, ECW used the Lawler hate to their advantage.

What I have come to believe is at times Lawler was really into keeping up kayfabe than he is now. Take that shit with andy Kaufman. King still says the neck injury was real when the Kaufman camp has said otherwise. King was just really keeping up kayfabe.

Beyond the "He looked bigger when he was on a box of Lucky Charms" comment made about Taz I doubt there was any legit heat. |

On the Best of Raw 15th Anniversary set, Lawler said that he still doesn't get why Vince wanted to help ECW by giving them time to promote Barely Legal on Raw in 1997.
And just by his tone of voice and mannerisms, he seems to really hate ECW. As most of the people talking weren't keeping up kayfabe.

Yeah but Lawler kept up kayfabe in loads of other angles too, and Arn Anderson always does even on shoot DVDs. It's weird.
Saying that, I can honestly never tell if Lawler really DOES hate ECW. I hope he doesn't, because he did good work there. "This bingo hall should be made out of toilet paper, cause there's nothing in it but shit!"

Not sure about Lawler but hear what Cornette says about it:
Language warning.

Not sure about Lawler but hear what Cornette says about it: Language warning. I like ECW, I don't care much for Cornette, but goddamn did he nail that one on the head. Agreed with every word he said. |
