He's a man so repetitive and checked out that Tony Schiavone says he needs to go. Taz in TNA is obnoxious and makes stupid comments, but even he stumbles upon good observations and new remarks every once in a while. To declare King sounding like a broken record would be too generous, as he does succeed in finding new ways to disappoint the listening audience. I won't say the obvious and declare him a shell of his former heel self, because shell still implies some type of form that isn't a mindless blob of generic babyface bullet points. They were going to have his commentary played on loop for a CZW Death Match, but the that was scrapped out of concern for the health of the competitors as the bookers couldn't trust they could handle that sort of pain. His continued existence is due either to the lack of a loving god, or a mission to make Mike Adamle feel better about himself. One is tempted to remark that he's an encapsulation of everything stagnant and non-risky about WWE except that's still a gross insult to the product. He's grown so completely godawful at his job, I believe fans are retroactively disappearing from past Memphis arena shows out of sheer distate.

I missed the match, what did he say? Two things really: Kelly Kelly was about to give the stinkface to Eve, and Lawler said "quick, tag me in Eve!" Then after Kelly Kelly won, he said "beautiful! And the match was good too!" or something to that effect. But that first one was pretty disgusting. Just Lawler being Lawler really. I shouldn't be surprised anymore. He's said something like that many times before with the stinky face move when a diva does it. Even after PG

Why don't they ever listen to us about the one thing we ALL agree on? Jerry Lawler is f***ing terrible and they won't ever do anything about it. He's probably one of the top 5 most beloved people on the roster with casual fans. Sure, alot of the hardcore IWC here doesn't like his work. But I'm pretty sure that the average RAW viewer thinks he's brilliant.

The shame of it is, he was once ( and still on occasion shows flashes of, just not on commentary) the best mic workers there ever was in regards to "talking people into the building."
But guy's been coasting at the booth since coming back after the whole Stacy Carter thing. He's actually ok with in-ring segments and such, just on commentary he just obviously doesn't give a f*** anymore, and it's shown for years.
I'm all for them keeping around in some sort of capacity, whether as an agent, manager, whatever, but it'd be great if they transitioned him into a role where he wasn't just phoning it in EVERY week.

Actually, Kelly's older than most of the women Jerry dates. His ex-girlfriend Su Yung (Yes, that's her real name. She was in FCW as Sonia) is just like 22 years old. This is what she looks like:

He looks like a Who as depicted in the Jim Carrey movie version.

Point is it shows a lack of professionalism and I'm not entirely sure Kelly Kelly appreciates the thought of Lawler getting pleasure out of her stinkface. I guess if she is, all power to her.

He single-handedly made me turn off Raw.
He was that bad.

It was all downhill after the "young man" remark.
Lawler has been cringeworthy for ages, but tonight he somehow managed to be worse than usual.

That's been Lawler's thing since the 'puppies' days. Why is anyone surprised? To be fair, he doesn't bother me as much as many(most) of the people on here but he wasn't very good tonight, I agree.

I have enough background noise to distract me from actually listening to him, so I couldn't have told you one thing he said tonight. The times I do really listen though, I feel my brain melting out of my head. I'd personally like to see a clean sweep of all the current sd and raw commentators.

What really got me going was when Chris Jericho was at the commentary booth and all three of them were talking at the same time.
LAWLER! SHUT UP! COLE WAS ASKING JERICHO SOMETHING

Come on, guys...it's just Lawler being Lawler. He's earned the right to be just as horrendous as anyone else out there. How do you earn the right to be awful?

I hate Jerry Lawler. The performer, the human being. Just go away. I don't like you. No one likes you. Leave.
