Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to put Jerry Lawler out there to call the women’s Royal Rumble match?

The King is known to leer at the women in WWE, talking about their looks first. His reputation far precedes him. During the match, he commented on how this was his dream watching all these women fight, ogled Dana Brooke, and lost his mind when Torrie Wilson came out, for obvious reasons.

Lawler occasionally can boost the product, and he comes across as more natural and effortless than someone like Byron Saxton, but this was like setting a diabetic with a sweet tooth loose in a bakery.
