In today’s modernized age, Meltzer and other dirt sheet writers have taken advantage of social media and the internet in order to build their audience and start their own shows. Much like TMZ in the entertainment industry, Meltzer and other dirt sheet writer have become big names in the wrestling business, for better or for worse.
Moore mentions that Meltzer previously wrote that Lawler almost won the WWE Title from Bret Hart back in 1994. Lawler says this is absolutely not true, adding that he didn’t hear anything about that at the time. He mentions that he doesn’t think Hart enjoyed working with him in the early part of their feud because Hart thought he was above Lawler and other incoming Memphis talents. They went on to have some great matches and do good business together, but Lawler doesn’t think he was ever scheduled to win the WWE Title.
Moore asks Lawler if he thinks we’ll ever see classic Memphis wrestling on the WWE Network. Lawler would love that, noting that he hopes to make that happen. He adds that WWE has basically bought all the catalogues of the old promotions, but they’ve never been able to agree to terms with him for Memphis Wrestling. He mentions that he’d love to have it on the Network and hopes that they can get back to negotiating in the near future.
