4. Jerry Lawler Was Pressured Into Buying A Burial Plot

Meanwhile, his ex-commentary partner Jerry Lawler is over here being bullied into sorting out his postmortem plans.

Via his Dinner With The King show, Lawler told how an 'overzealous sales person' pressured him into purchasing a burial plot next to legendary soul musician Isaac Hayes. At the time, Jerry was reeling from the passing of his son, and he was in no mood to argue with the lady. So, he went along with it.

The lady in question said they'd be thrilled to have someone of Lawler's celebrity on their special celeb row at the graveyard. As if that's not chilling enough, she was the one who proposed Jerry be buried next to Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer Hayes.

That's...rather random.

Talk about an upscale, this was something else. On a nicer note, Lawler's parents are both buried in the same cemetery, and he said he'll be happy being so close to them. Regardless, he can't have imagined he'd be coaxed into purchasing a plot next to the guy who played Chef in South Park.
