Moore asks Lawler why he’d often wear his wrestling gear at the commentary booth. Lawler informs that his first night on commentary came about as a result of Randy “Macho Man” Savage leaving WWE for WCW right out of the blue, and McMahon asked Lawler to join him on commentary that night. He went out to the ring in his wrestling gear for what was supposed to be a one-week commentary gig, and that lasted for years.
Moore asks Lawler if competitors would ever give Ross and him a heads up when they planned on using the commentary table during a match. Lawler says that sometimes the guys would give them a heads up, but often times they wouldn’t know anything was coming.
Lawler informs that he kept all the pages of one-liners he used during the attitude era. One page is actually completely covered in Steve Austin’s blood because one night Austin was bleeding and was thrown in over the commentary table, covering Lawler’s notes in blood.
