10 WWE Superstars That Should Consider Retirement In 2018
5. Jerry Lawler
Not since having a well-recorded stare at Paige's a*se had the real Jerry Lawler been so prevalent on WWE television.
Speaking on February 2017's Fastlane post-show Raw Talk and attempting to stir the pot between Sasha Banks and Bayley, 'The King' obnoxiously spewed that 'all women despised each other'. It was gracefully shot down by host Renee Young, but Jerry's dated derisory statements acted as a reminder as to just one of the reasons why he was airlifted from the announce booth what now feels like a million years ago.
Since then, he's gone on to make similarly sleazy statements on his podcast that aren't remotely in keeping with good taste nor WWE's patently desperate grasp on mainstream respectability. Admitting to do zero research before heading to work all these years hardly paints a picture of a main dedicated to the product, not least whilst he's working a host of independent dates to supplement his income.
If not already, it may be time to shift him to a legends deal and make him a rotating special guest on the pre and post-show desks, rather than a fixture in desperate need of an upgrade.
