A new episode of Jerry Lawler's podcast was released today, and there were some tidbits about the Royal Rumble that hadn't been reported yet.
- WWE asked Lawler a few days before the show if he had Honky Tonk Man's contact info. They apparently wanted Honky to be involved in the spot with Elias and Jeff Jarrett.
- Lawler claimed R-Truth was really mad after his spot with Nia Jax. Was Nia reckless/stiff with him? Based on Lawler's comments, it sounded like the spot where Nia threw Truth into the set was the reason Truth was angry.
- Vince McMahon was watching the pre-show in his office and actually called Lawler's cell phone during a commercial to tell Lawler to move his crown. He apparently didn't like how it made the shot look.
- Becky Lynch told him she had been watching a lot of his old matches to try and learn how to throw punches similar to his.

The only duet I wanted to hear at the Royal Rumble was both barrels of a shotgun.

Man gets roughed up by Nia and 2 days later he's US Champion. Good for Truth. I thought we were done with this Nia recklessness stuff but I guess the f*** not.

He looked pissed when he got thrown into one of the lights. I guess he really did break the lights judging that interview he had post-Rumble. He mentioned that it was broken and all so yikes. Damn.

That really sounds less on her and more on if those were supposed to be rig to break safely or not, unless she just wasn't supposed to throw him there.
Cool on Becky and the punches thing, though. Good punches seem like a damn rarity in wrestling in the mainstream today. Cody can throw them, and uhhh, that's really almost it.

Not surprised Becky's watching old Lawler stuff and trying to learn from him. She's a huge wrestling nerd.

If anything, it just begs the question of why the f*** would you keep putting this person in prominent roles, lmao? WWE is starting to get real messy between this and the Brie Bella shit last year.

Vince calling King during the show is hilarious to me. I cannot imagine being on a show with an audience of a million+ people, having my phone go off and seeing Vince McMahon's name/number come up on caller ID. Seems like something they'd do for a rib, like Lawler answers the phone and Vince yells at him for taking a phone call during a show.
And I kinda got to wondering today if this title run was a thank you for the Rumble stuff, and if he did get roughed up it makes more sense.

Ring. “Hey Lawler!” “Uh..yes?” “Match is up there, bwahahaha.” Click.

These Samoans are like BMF or some shit. They got so much power that Nia's always got a spot on the bench lol. The only ones who can touch her are fans on social media.

Truth was upset with Nia, but now he gets a real belt out of her.

Double J has pretty good ones and they have tapes of Dr. Death. But honestly, if they could, Lawler should hold a class on worked punches at the PC.

@dax Absolutely. And I appreciate that he took a moment to shuffle while fighting the f***ing Undertaker.
Showmanship.

Rob Van Dam broke Edge's jaw and almost killed Triple H by landing on his neck. The bar's not so much low as it's on the floor.
