Jerry Lawler - WWE Champion?
- Bryan Alvarez of F4Wonline.com is reporting that as of this week that a Fatal 4 Way is planned for the WWE Title match at Royal Rumble with The Miz defending his title vs Jerry Lawler, Randy Orton and John Morrison. Morrison vs Miz in a singles match was originally scheduled for Rumble but those plans were changed and that match will now take place on this Monday’s Raw. There has also been talk of possibly giving Jerry Lawler a short run with the WWE Title but nothing is set in stone at this point.
--- Thoughts? My initial reaction is "I'd like to have some of what they're smoking if they do that" but really, it's not like it'd make Miz or whoever look bad. They'd lose the belt in some fluke ending during a fatal 4 way. Not the end of the world. As long as Miz gets the belt back via killing Lawler or in a good douchebag way, it'll be fine. ![]() |

I don't. Lawler with the belt is (hopefully) not a part of the road to Wrestlemania and should be dealt with asap and before Royal Rumble, if at all.

I like this idea. Reward Lawler for his loyalty. Dont give him too long of a run. It allows Lawler to get his shine, Miz will look like a chickenshit heel when he gets it back in a slimey fashion, JoMo can still continue to be built as the belt chaser, since he's not ready just yet, and Randy can be in the mix since he's crazy over, but wont take the belt since he needs to take it easy in lieu of taking some time off.
It seems like a win in all aspects. |

If he were to win at the Rumble, he'd almost surely drop it in the Elimination Chamber, either back to The Miz or to CM Punk (to allow Cena to once again win the belt at WM since their feud should still be going).
I'm kinda sick of those title changes at EC though, and no way should Lawler have the belt at Mania. |

I don't see the point of after ALL these years, NOW having Lawler as Champion. He feuded with Bret in the 90's, if they wanted him as Champion, they could've had him win the belt back then.
I think they are going to take him off the air, you know, he will not be doing play-by-play for much longer, so they are trying to, perhaps, when the time comes and they inform him he will no longer be a color commentator, he won't get mad, or as mad, since he's been kinda pushed...as if he were to become Champion, even more so. |

Would be brilliant and if this match is announced, even expecting Lawler to win, I'll probably jump in celebration.

The possibility of Lawler in an Elimination Chamber is pretty LOL.
I'd love this though. Orton doesn't need the belt now. Morrison isn't ready. I bet they do something where Lawler wins at the Rumble but then Miz finds some loophole where he gets his belt back at Raw the next night. I'm fine with it. |

Jerry Lawler has said numerous times that he wants to have a match at WrestleMania and has bugged Vince about it every year. If nothing else, this is all just to build up to Lawler finally having his first (last and only) match at WrestleMania.

Yeah I don't see The Miz holding the belt by WrestleMania, which sucks but is understandable I guess. I could quite easily buy a match between those two if they drag the feud out that long and have the blow off match for the angle then.

I think it'll be a combination of what Supreme & James Steele said.
I think if Lawler were to win the WWE Title, he'd only be champion for one night. He would win it at The Royal Rumble then lose it back to The Miz the next night on Raw due to interference from someone, be it Alex Riley or even Michael Cole. But then that would give Lawler and whoever cost him the match an angle to work with that would reach and end at WrestleMania. That way, everyone's a winner. Lalwer becomes a WWE Champion The Miz gets more heat for winning the title back the next night unfairly The Miz will have the title at Elimination Chamber but most likely lose it (I imagine the chamber match consisting of The Miz, Morrison, Orton, Sheamus, Triple H and MAYBE Lawler. If not Lawler then possibly a recently returned Wade Barrett.) Lawler will get his WrestleMania match which will be against whoever cost him the championship. If it was Cole that cost him, then it would most likely be Alex Riley he faces with Cole in his corner. (Though Cole has been recently learning to take bumps, which is a worrying sign.) And either way, Alex Riley get's his first taste of WrestleMania. |

I do like the idea of getting Lawler his title run and Mania match.
If what was said about him coming off the air is true, and he's being removed from an on-air play-by-play role... him losing the belt via interference could lead into a Mania match where his opponent says screw the rules, opens the match by blasting Lawler with a chair for a blatant DQ, works Lawler over for like 5-6 minutes straight before some other wrestlers can get out to save Jerry... Whoever does it gets mad heat, Lawler had his title run, Mania match, a win at Mania (via the DQ), and due to the "severe injuries" Lawler is out indefinitely. Makes a happy King, makes someone like Riley (hypothetically) an even bigger heel, gives them a storyline out to remove Lawler from the air... it's a win all around. |

Wouldn't mind it if it wasn't the run up to wrestlemania as King's been great lately(which i can't believe i'm saying) but its just bad timing atm.

Jerry's title run should have happened in our around the Bret Hart feud.

I could actually see this leading to Lawler and Daniel Bryan vs The Miz & Michael Cole at Wrestlemania.

Anyway, I think if he was in a fatal 4 way at Rumble and did or didn't win, it would be ok. If anything, Jerry is NOT embarrassing himself when he wrestles. Guys like Hogan or even Flair can't say that. |

King wins, Cole costs him the next day at Raw setting up Cole vs King at Mania. It really is that simple.

WWE can then hire Sting, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner to feud with them.

I could also see Cole botching interference at the Rumble costing Miz the match. That would be fairly hilarious.

I have no problem at all with him having a Wrestlemania match of some sort, but the idea of Jerry Lawler being WWE Champion in 2011 is a joke. He may be a great colour commentator (at times) and great back in the day, but come on his time has passed for any sort of title run.

Giving him the belt, by whatever means, will make the title look weaker just months before Wrestlemania. Would not be smart at all.
Fair enough, give the guy a Wrestlemania match but not the bloody title. |
