Jarrett notes that it’s actually quite a long song, running approximately 4 and a half minutes. Lawler informs that his sarcastic remark at the end of their performance actually came directly from Vince McMahon. Lawler said that the Country Music Hall of Fame called, and they banned Jarrett and Road Dogg for life.
Lawler asks Jarrett if he remembers the first promo he cut on The Jerry Lawler show many years ago. Lawler jokes that nobody remembers what they did on the Jerry Lawler show, but Jarrett says that he does remember that promo. He recalls staring at the question on a piece of paper that he was set to respond to, and it was a fan question that addressed his lack of size at that time.
Lawler informs that a lot of talents had trouble cutting promos back in that day. Jarrett points out that cutting promos could be very uncomfortable in those days. Promos were often cut in a backstage area with a bunch of peers watching you in the background. Most performers just wanted to get the promos over with, and often times that would lead to people rushing and having to do multiple takes. Lawler recalls certain performers requiring 10-15 takes just to get a good take of their promo.
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!
