6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 14)

Downs...

7. Lawler Embarrasses Himself Again

Poor Jerry Lawler. He turned in a nice performance at Hell in a Cell (uggh) and acquitted himself well on Raw last week, but he blurted out a line Monday night that was unforgiveable.

During the Ali/Andrade match, King desperately tried to work in a line, and finally asked his colleagues whether Andrade was related to Mario Andrade.

Of course, there is no (famous) Mario Andrade, but there is former racecar driver Mario Andretti.

…

Let that one sink in. Lawler tried to make a connection between Andrade, a Mexican wrestler, and Andretti, an Italian racecar driver who retired in 1994 – when Andrade was 5 years old.

Yep, way to make Raw sound young and hip. At least Dio Maddin had the good sense to blurt out, “What does that even mean?”
