Jerry Lawler Gets Street Named After Him in Memphis

News Channel 3 reports that the city of Memphis officially renamed a street in honor of wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler. Earlier today, Memphis renamed Homer Street to Jerry “The King” Lawler St. in Lawler’s honor.

PWInsider reports that fellow WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart and Memphis veterans Dave Brown, Bill Dundee, and King Cobra were also in attendance for the ceremony. Also, someone was there dressed as Lawler’s favorite superhero, Superman.

A ring was also present at the ceremony. News Channel 3 says Jerry Lawler was amused by the ring’s presence, commenting, “Nice to look at, but I’m not going to get into it today.”

Speaking at the event, Lawler also commented about achieving your dreams, stating, “If you’re thinking about doing something serious…keep your mind straight and pull that strap down and it’s all yours after that.”

The 76-year-old former WWE Superstar and broadcaster has achieved many accolades across his illustrious career. He was previously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by none other than William Shatner in 2007. He’s also a former AWA World Heavyweight Champion and two-time USWA Heavyweight Champion.
