Dinner with the King Recap – Lawler’s Cardiac Arrest, Speaking With the Doctor Who Saved His Life, Funeral Plans, More!

Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore.

Lawler says his residence in Florida was lucky enough to escape the wrath of Hurricane Irma. He couldn’t believe the strength of this storm, and there were a lot of people who didn’t get quite as lucky as he did.

A listener writes into the show and asks Lawler if WWE-contracted Superstars are able to wrestle at indie events. Lawler says performers signed to contracts in WWE aren’t able to wrestle at indie events, but there are some cases where third party bookings occur when an indie promotion pays WWE’s fee to utilize a certain Superstar.

On the five year anniversary of Lawler’s cardiac arrest, Lawler and Moore discuss the events of that evening.

Moore points out that there are actually some conspiracists out there who don’t believe Lawler suffered a cardiac arrest that evening. They believe that it was all a part of a WWE storyline and that it was all a staged event. Lawler says that he can’t remember anything about it and he hasn’t had any lasting side effects from it, so sometimes he thinks it was all a hoax as well.
