Most of the fans in attendance say that they’d love to see Lawler work with Bill Dundee one final time. Lawler thinks that their matches back in the day were so good and believable because they didn’t really like each other in person. He thinks that Dundee was jealous of him and angry over the fact that he didn’t relinquish his top spot when Dundee started to rise up in the company. A fan mentions that there was a significant edge to their matches, and that’s probably why Jerry Jarrett kept booking them to work together.
Another fan asks Lawler if he was ever considered to win the King of the Ring Tournament in WWE. Lawler is unsure if he was ever considered to win that tournament, and he informs that he was never really involved in creative decisions like that.
He admits to being dissapointed every year when he didn’t get booked to work at WrestleMania. When he finally did get the opportunity to work with Michael Cole at WrestleMania he thought the opportunity for him to have a WrestleMania moment had come and gone. For this reason, he was very excited when he was told he’d be working that match.
That sums up this week’s episode of Dinner with the King. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
