Jerry Lawler Wasn’t a Fan of The Finish to The Women’s MITB Match

– During the latest edition of his podcast, Jerry Lawler spoke about the finish to the first ever women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. He wasn’t a fan…

On the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match: “That’s one thing that disturbed me, and hopefully they will fix that in some kind of way. That’s what WWE has been about. We don’t even call them Divas anymore; it’s the women’s division because it’s about empowering women. So much of the emphasis that the WWE has put on the women’s division has done that. That’s why I was disappointed to see, in the first ever, historic Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, that they had to have a man climb the ladder and retrieve the Money in the Bank briefcase. I’m one of them [people who are upset about the finish].”

On The Mid-South Coliseum: “I was on a flight one time with one of the Memphis officials, and he said, ‘Jerry, the city of Memphis would sell you the Mid-South Coliseum for one dollar.’ I said, ‘Really?’ They said, ‘Yeah. But I just want to remind you that just sitting there, the cost of it being closed just sitting there the way it is costs the city $63,000’. That’s not a house-note that I can take on right now. Even thought I would like to have the Coliseum. But I don’t want to be paying $63,000 a month for it.”

On which current WWE star would be huge in old-school Memphis: “A Bray Wyatt. I would have loved to have had the Bray Wyatt character down in Memphis. That would have fit right in what we did. And the whole Wyatt Family; any of those guys we could have made a ton of money with in our old-school Memphis days.”
