| IT’S GOOD TO BE KING…SOMETIMES
Release Date: December 2002 / Authors: Jerry Lawler and Doug Asheville / Publisher: World Wrestling Entertainment DESCRIPTION It's Good to Be the King...Sometimes is a no-holds-barred personal account from the "puppies-pantin'" King, who steps out from behind the announcer's desk of WWE Raw to hold court about everything. His passion for the ring that first drew him out of a rundown West Memphis movie theater over thirty years ago. The comic adventures and tragic bumps with the National Wrestling Alliance. Earning his royal personage 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-owner of the United States Wrestling Association, which contributed to the rise of future WWE Superstars: Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock. The King reveals the schemes and outrageous story lines 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, and the body part he truly worships on a WWE Diva. 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. REVIEW Trent Van Drisse: This was mainly an attempt by Lawler to get his wife back I think, which didn't work. Very disappointing book considering what it could and should have been. Lawler's lack of detail annoys me. I recommend you find a different book, Lawler couldn't Teflon his way thru this one, though Lord knows he tried. Order from Amazon |
