On this week’s episode of ‘Dinner With The King,’ WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler and Glenn Moore spoke about some of the monsters he booked during the classic Memphis wrestling days.
The King spoke about the big 25th Anniversary of Monday Night RAW on January 22nd and if he plans to be part of the celebration.
“I’m not really sure. I would expect to be. How could they talk about 25 years of Raw without including me in some sort of way?”
“I know I’m going to be a part of the Royal Rumble [broadcast]. I don’t know about calling the match, but probably the kick-off show and all that sort of stuff.”
He also spoke about the early days of Monday Night RAW back in 1993.
“One of the things about was amazing about it, was the Manhattan Center wasn’t a very bigvenue. At the time, they didn’t know how successful this thing was going to become. It was in the very early stages. Just an infant being born at the Manhattan Center. And this place was small compared to the Barclays Center. It was a very small venue.
The main thing I remember is having to dress, get ready for the matches, and get ready for the show in the stairwells. There was just not enough dressing rooms. And guys were dressing every little nook and cranny and broom closets to get ready for the show.”
