What do you think about WWE forcing Jerry Lawler to pull out of his upcoming match with Hogan in Memphis?

Answer 1

Jerry "King" Lawler should not have been forced to pull out of any wrestling match--up at all, especially one in in home city of Memphis, Tennessee.

Answer 2

In the wake of requiring Jerry Lawler to withdraw from the 4/27 PMG "Clash of the Legends" match with Hulk Hogan, WWE pulled Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas and The Boogeyman from Friday's Memphis Wrestling event.

As a general rule, WWE is now barring its wrestlers from appearing on events run by the promotion. It remains unclear whether Lawler, who is contracted as an announcer but not a wrestler, will be allowed to work with the promotion in the future.

According to WrestlingObserver.com, the decision to pull Lawler from the show was not due to plans for VH-1, a USA Network competitor, to air footage from the show on "Hogan Knows Best." Sources say the reason was WWE's refusal to have a WWE-contracted worker appear in a high-profile match with Hulk Hogan.

In fact, WWE officials plainly told Lawler that he could not appear on the show if Hogan was also booked for the event.

As announced at the press conference, Paul Wight, formerly known as The Big Show, will replace Lawler in the main-event.

Answer 3

He is not even under contract (as a wrestler) to WWE, which means that he could wrestle pretty much anywhere he would want. WWE is just continuing to add more animosity between themselves and Hulk Hogan.

Answer 4

i agree with the one above i saw him go against randyorton in memphis live but then hogan was supposed to be there but he had the excuse of a knee injury
