Well, this news was a bit unexpected. The worlds wrestling uncle, Jerry Lawler, was arrested this week, and was immediately suspended from WWE. This comes just weeks after Adam Rose was busted for the same offense. At the age of 66, you would hope that Lawler could avoid situations like this. Not so.

According to the police report, Lawler was kicked in the groin (this is no time for a low blow joke!), and according to his girlfriend he put a gun on the counter and told her to kill herself. He denies this happened, but admits there was a gun in the room. A scary, sad situation that could potentially spell the end of The Kings lengthy WWE career depending on how it all plays out.

Perhaps the only unintentional comedy one can find from the incident is that Lawler had just got done appearing at a wrestling event called A Night At The Slammer. Perhaps his next gig can be showing up at A Day at The Unemployment Line.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
