Lawler mentions that he enjoyed working with all his commentary partners over the years. He was actually intimidated by Ross when they began working together because Ross was a legitimate commentator and Lawler didn’t consider himself to be that at all.
By the time Michael Cole came in years later, Lawler thinks Cole was intimidated by him because he’d been in that position for years. Cole was just a young upstart in the company and Lawler wasn’t sure if he’d make it or not, but they ended up having terrific chemistry that even turned into a WrestleMania program at one point.
Moore asks Lawler if he thought WWE ever crossed the line during the attitude era. Lawler mentions that basically nothing was out of the question at that time, and it was an “anything goes” environment. The only thing that Lawler thought WWE went to far with was the Katie Vick storyline.
