For all we know Lawler hasn't done anything wrong, so I suggest people cut it out with some of the comments being made against him until we know more. Lawler has had a lot of failed relationships in he's time and to my knowledge none of he's exs have even hinted at abuse, so let's not act like this would be in character for him. I straight up hate posts like this. Are you Lawler? WWE needs to let this man go as soon as possible.

Hope that Graves may get a shot on the SD commentary team now. The guy is outstanding, especially considering it wasn't the original role in the company he had Don't split up Corey/Tom! Like I said before, they might slide David Otunga into Lawler's spot for now at least until they decide who goes where after the brand split.

I suspect there is a fair level off crossover between "unstable" and "willing to date/marry men more than twice my age" I'm withholding judgment until the facts are out Yeah, and this is not the second or third....or probably forth or fifth time this has happened. Grow up and settle down with a woman your own age Jerry.

They're right to suspend him as that is the precedent, but there's absolutely no reason to release him because of the arrest. Funny how the RESPONDING POLICE ON THE SCENE were unable to determine the aggressor, but a bunch of people on the internet have decided Lawler is 100% guilty.

Some people seem to be alarmingly quick in their judgement of Jerry Lawler. Despite us having little to no facts on the incident as of right now.
If the evidence comes along that determines that Jerry Lawler was the aggressor in this incident, THAT's when it's the time to be questioning the character of the man and rightly calling for his release from the WWE. That time hasn't come yet though.
Jerry Lawler is one of my all time favourite personalities in wrestling, that being said....I'll be among all the others who demand his release from the WWE *IF* he's found to be responsible for any wrong doing. I'll take no pleasure in seeing one of the legends of the business have his reputation tarnished though. From seeing posts on twitter and various wrestling fan forums it seems to me that some people are already trying to bring the man down and are even perhaps getting a kick out of doing it, WITHOUT any facts or evidence of wrong doing. Maybe i'm alone in finding that more than just a little alarming?

It's terrible that the only thing that surprises me is that the girl is the same age as me. I really thought she'd be a lot younger.

If they fire Lawler and the charges are dismissed, he's going to sue and he'll have every right to do so, and unlike many former WWE employees, he's smart enough not to wait 2-3 years or however long the Connecticut statute of limitations is, in the hope of being re-signed.
I don't think they'll fire him, they'll keep him under contract long enough for this to be resolved and have him return on Smackdown in Tennessee so he gets a great welcome home pop, unlike Adam Rose who had a member of WWE management tell people he was effectively fired on social media no matter how his case played out.

To be fair, that's nothing new. Look up Fatty Arbuckle. That said, even in his version of events, he got physical with her, he just provided his reasoning for doing so, so I can understand people being quicker to judgment due to that, along with people having misgivings about his moral character in the past, anyhow. They're not the jury or judge, so they're not really under any obligation to wait it out before feeling one way or another.

It's really hard telling just what the situation is, especially given other than on the subject of the gun - and even then only to a degree - the stories aren't incompatible with each other. Not saying this did happen, but it's entirely possible that the fiancee started it then King responded with an excessive amount of force, or something akin to that. I don't know, it's not my job to say really, but this is completely up in the air right now as to who if anyone's in the right.

I don't know, it's not my job to say really, but this is completely up in the air right now as to who if anyone's in the right. They do match to an extent. I mean she says he held her down in the kitchen against the stove. He admits to holding her in the kitchen after she attacked him because she was drunk and trying to take her car out. So basically all we know so far is there was an incident. He held her in the kitchen. the cops couldn't figure out who was the victim and who was the aggressor immediately and arrested both of them. The WWE suspended Jerry in accordance to the 0 tolerance plicy. the cops will investigate and the charges against one (or both potentially) will be dropped.

Even if his version of the events are true, he's guilty of assault.
So is she.
One does not cancel the other out.

I am not lawler, nor am I related to him but I am taking his side on this. The girl has no marks on her and I doubt she would be in mugshot pic condition if King really hit her or slammed her head on a stove. We can make all the young girl jokes we want but its known Lawler doesn't drink and says she herself was intoxicated, which man or woman you know has NEVER caused incidents like this or anything...

At least he didn't hurt his weak back.
He hurt it a week back, you know.

I will put my 2 cents in. WWE is right by suspending him because when you say zero tolerance that's exactly what that means. Jerry will set on the shelf until the facts come out and that's all their is to it. Right now it's a he say she say and calling for Jerrys head on a platter isn't the most responsible thing to do with due process
However, that is not to say he should be held without blame. If he put his hands on her in a physical/harmful way even if she was drunk then he will pay the piper. When I get into arguments I leave the house because in this day and age one act of stupidity can f*** you life up.
As I stated before WWE has no grounds to fire Jerry before the details are out but they have every right to make his ass sit on the bench and be honest with them before the cops gather their evidence. You hit her your ass is out or if cops conclude you hit her and you lied about it then you aren't to be welcomed back anytime soon.
