Lawler bawling out Vince on the time he hired Harley Race and had posters up touting "The King" in a WWF ring in Nashville and Memphis is a favorite.
Jerry will never let Vince forget about that.

It's hard to think back to a time when the dynamic would exist where JBL would encourage the heel to attack the face announcers When Kane ordered the Shield to attack Lawler (Shield's face turn). Ha! Okay, we're rapidly getting to the point where I have to watch, literally, every wrestling match that has ever occurred before attempting to make a point...

Yes I'm certain this was Lawler getting approval from Vince and taking a more biting, backhanded approach at dealing with Vince the commentator. Perhaps an early foray into an edgier product I still never much liked Lawler on commentary. Voice too grating, his jokes weren't delivered as smoothly. It's like he was reading off a cue card Lawler: "Stu Hart...Stu Hart is old...Stu Hart may have been bitten by the wrestling bug, but he's also apparently old enough to have been bitten by a pterodactyl too! *cackling* HAHAHAHAHAHA Heenan: "Stu Hart trained all his kids--only three of them use the litter box." This was in a nutshell the step down we had to take in going from Heenan to Lawler in terms of comedy Even as a kid, I noticed the massive shift in tone from having a heel commentator that was a loveable jerk to one who had no redeeming qualities.
