Lawler speaks briefly about Tojo Yamamoto. Lawler says that Yamamoto was a fierce competitor who did everything he could to protect the business. He actually had a common American name, but he hid that information at all costs. Lawler points out that Yamamoto didn’t trust a lot of people, including banks or doctors.
Yamamoto kept all of his money in the trunk of his car, and one time his car was stolen, resulting in him losing his life savings. Eventually he got sick and was forced to visit the doctor who told him he was terminally ill. He went home that day and shot himself.
Lawler tells a quick story about the first time Trish Stratus rode with him and his ex-wife Stacy during the attitude era. Shortly after they got on the road Stratus asked him to pull over because she was going to be sick. She got back in the car and apologized, admitting that she was just so nervous about being in the car with them.
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!
