Lawler informs that he’s going to be at the Royal Rumble on Sunday, and the plan right now is for him to work the Kickoff show and call the Men’s Rumble match. He adds that he’ll be brining his ring gear just in case, because you just never know when they’ll play your music and expect you to jump into the match.
Moore asks Lawler how much planning goes into the execution of the Royal Rumble match. Lawler informs that when you’re in one of those matches it’s impossible to remember the order of every competitor. He would just try to remember who he had to enter after, and who he had to get eliminated after. Other than that, it was basically anything goes in the ring.
Lawler talks about the announcement made by Vince McMahon today, that the XFL will be returning in 2020. He believes that the original XFL would have been a success if NBC wasn’t McMahon’s partner. He believes that NBC screwed up that league at the time, and he thinks McMahon re-launching that league on his own gives it a much greater chance to succeed.
That sums up today’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!
