During a recent appearance on the “WrestleBinge” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler remembered taking legal action against Vince McMahon for using Harley Race as “The King” in Memphis and Nashville.
Eventually, McMahon reached out to Lawler and requested that he join WWE while also permitting Lawler to keep wrestling in Memphis.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On suing Vince McMahon: “We were in quite a battle. I remember I sued Vince McMahon when he brought in Harley Race as ‘The King’ in Memphis and then in Nashville. I sued him and I won the case, and I thought I was done with him for sure then.”
On how he began working for Vince McMahon in the early 1990s: “I don’t really know what happened, but he just called me one day and said, ‘Hey, wanna come up and work for us and continue to work in Memphis?’ And I said, ‘Well, if I can do that, yeah, I’ll do it.’”
