– In the latest edition of Dinner with the King (via Wrestlezone), Jerry Lawler spoke about finding out he was working with Joey Ryan at an independent event during Wrestlemania 34 weekend. Here are highlights:

On learning he’d work with Ryan: “Here’s what I was told. We are gonna have a wrestler there dressed like Andy Kaufman and he’s gonna go out and be dressed in the whole Kaufmann…routine and he’s gonna do the whole Kauffman bit…then he was gonna start challenging women in the audience to come out and fight him – I wasn’t even advertised – then boom all of a sudden they play my music and I come out and confront this guy and then I piledrive him or do whatever and have the reenactment of the Andy Kaufman match. I said, ‘That’s cool, whatever.’ When I got there – they didn’t even tell me who I was gonna wrestle, I had no idea…Hurricane Helms was one of the agent and he was going around telling everybody who they were wrestling and what they are gonna do. Out of the blue, he comes up to me and asks, ‘Did anybody tell you anything about who you were wrestling tonight.’ I said, ‘No, somebody told me about the Andy Kaufman thing.’ So then he starts to tell me that it’s Joey Ryan and he asks if I know Joey Ryan. I said, ‘No.’ Then he says that he is the guy that does the super penis gimmick. Now I had heard about this guy; but, I never met him. I don’t know him and I say, ‘My gosh, he’s the guy that throws people around with his penis, right?’ He says, ‘Yeah.’ I tell him, ‘Well, I’m gonna be honest with you. I’m not gonna be thrown around by anybody’s penis. As a matter of fact I just had a stroke just four days ago and was out of the hospital just two days ago and don’t want to go back after being thrown by a penis.”

On being asked for other suggestions to the match: “The Louisiana Athletic Commission banned piledrivers and blood in all matches. I couldn’t do a piledriver. Then that actually worked better at what I came up with there at the last minute….When I came out unannounced to face Joey Ryan, Ryan says, ‘I know why you beat Andy Kaufman. You gave him a piledriver to break his neck; but, here in Louisiana a piledriver is illegal. You can’t give me a piledriver, so I’m not afraid at you all. Here’s what I want you to do. Lawler, I want you to touch my d*ck.’ Then the place went crazy. I’m standing there with my crown and he says, ‘That’s right. Go ahead, touch it.’ I look around and instead of touching it I kick him in the groin and of course, it’s a super penis, so he don’t sell it. You can’t hurt the penis, I guess. So, I backed up and looked at him again, people went crazy and he says, ‘That’s right go ahead touch it.’ I move up a little closer and shot a fireball right into his penis. It worked out perfect…it hit him right in the penis and he took a big bump. The place went crazy. That was the first time the penis ever sold for anybody. He rolled around and fell out onto the floor. I raise my hand, all happy and everything. The piledriver was illegal in Louisiana; but, so was fire, so I got disqualified. He gets back into the ring and he is fanning his crotch and then finally he looks into his tight and looks up and smiles and says, ‘My penis is ok, my penis is ok.’ The cool thing was all the people started chanting, ‘Six star match!’ Nobody even took a bump except he did fall over for the fire on the penis.”
