6 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Dec 15)

Who is the least authoritative WWE representative to provide a hot take on the sexual harassment scandal of 2017?

The rumoured miscreant Jerry Lawler, who had the following to say on his "Dinner With The King" podcast.

"It appears that eventually anybody that’s ever flirted with anybody, or had any kind of sexual contact with anybody, is all of a sudden [...] you could potentially be a target in the future."

Glenn Moore, the King's co-host, in an attempt to remove the gun from Jerry's head, clarified that he was referring only to the serious allegations - i.e. those the alleged perpetrators have all but admitted to, opaquely or otherwise. The Weinstein Level. Lawler started laughing.

That’s the way the country has become. Everything 99% of the people may think is done in jest, or whatever, and all of a sudden that 1% out there is gonna be offended by it. And that 1% can speak up as loudly as the other 99% cannot."

Yes, Lawler has blamed hysterical PC culture for the relentless deluge of disturbing rape and harassment allegations, the most notorious perpetrators of which have admitted to. As opposed to the actual rape and harassment. Lawler, for the love of Christ, also had the following to say when asked if he has witnessed behaviour like this in the world of wrestling.

"I've never heard of anything happening like that before."

If nothing like this has ever happened in wrestling - once the bleakest fringe of the entertainment industry, an unregulated sh*t-show never once unionised - I'll be as surprised as a dipsh*t WWE babyface stunned by a heel’s announce theme.

Lawler, at the very least, knows who the Fabulous Moolah is. He laughed at her for years at the commentary booth. Lawler, understatedly pitching his flag, all but bemoaned the idea that "we've come so far" that we "have" to at least pretend to respect the athleticism of the Women's roster.

Grisly stuff, if not entirely unexpected.
