It's
Good To Be The King. . .Sometimes by Jerry Lawler
Jerry Lawler is hailed as one of
sports-entertainment's most enduring and colorful characters. His life
has been filled with hilarious, never-been-told stories...until now! His
reign consists of thirteen championships (one of which he's held more
than forty times), three marriages, and two children. He's dominated
Memphis radio and television airwaves. Starred in feature films.
Recorded albums. Tolerated countless sprains, broken bones, concussions,
and contusions. The way Jerry "The King" Lawler tells it, if you're good
at something, do it more than once.
It's Good To Be The King...Sometimes is a no-holds-barred personal
account from the "puppies"-pantin' King of one-liners, who steps out
from behind the announcer's desk of WWE Raw to hold court about
everything. His passion for art that first drew him to the ring of a
rundown West Memphis movie theater over thirty years ago. The comic
adventures and tragic bumps endured journeying down the "Music Highway"
of Interstate 40 with the National Wrestling Alliance. Earning his royal
personage in the Bluff City of the Mighty Mississippi against his own
mentor, "Fabulous" Jackie Fargo. Grappling with mat legends Ric Flair,
Lou Thesz, Jesse Ventura, Andre the Giant, Terry Funk, and Bret "Hitman"
Hart. And his crowning achievements as co-ruler of the United States
Wrestling Association, which contributed to the rise of future WWE
Superstars Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The
Rock.
It's time you lackeys pay heed as the King reveals the schemes and
outrageous storylines to many of wrestling's most fantastic theatrics
and all-too-real moments. Lawler tells of his legendary "feud" with Andy
Kaufman, and his much-publicized confrontation with the actor portraying
the late comedian on the set of Man on the Moon, and the
"Karate-versus-Wrestling" match that almost occurred between Lawler and
Memphis's other King. And be sure to honor his royal proclamations
regarding former wives, and his mother's opinion of wrestling; why he
once sued future boss Vince McMahon...and won; and the body part he
truly worships on a WWE Diva.
