I support it for many reasons. One, why should the ungrateful Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan get huge send off and Jerry Lawler not? Granted the level of success is vastly different. However Jerry The King Lawler is one of the most influential talents in Wrestling history. He came up with a lot of promotional techniques that Vince borrowed and uses to this day. Basically Jerry Lawler brought a lot of the entertainment aspect to sports entertainment. Aside from that, he is a classic wrestler with many great feuds and battles that may not have been globally or even nationally broadcast, but to the people he was exposed to, he was the king of wrestling.

Now the past 15 or so years he has been one of the voices of WWE programming and has become a huge part of all of our lives. This AND he can still wrestle, and put on a damn good old school type wrestling match.

All of these elements together make him one of the most over guys available as well as others have noted, an interesting contender for The Miz as World Champion...

I want him to get a match on Wrestlemania, I would be sceptical if it were a World Title match and he walked in as the champ, but I would be open to it.
