Jerry Lawler Says Smackdown Might Go Live, Sporting News Covers Dusty Rhodes Death, Neville Talks Money in the Bank PPV

Jerry Lawler Says Smackdown Might Go Live

According to a live fan report submitted to ProWrestling.net, Jerry “The King” Lawler wrestled in the main event of a USA Championship Wrestling free card at the 37th annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL. The following is an excerpt from the fan report:

Lawler did meet and greets most of the day and brought his own Batmobile (Adam west era). I met him and he was extremely nice. He autographed a picture and I got my picture with him. I told him I remembered driving to Evansville to see him wrestle Bret Hart back years ago. He remembered the event, asked me if it was a title match (it was) and he remembered it was right before Bret left (a month before). I asked if he liked being on Smackdown to which he said “he loved it.” He told me they were moving to USA network and possibly going live, possibly on Friday nights. He was extremely nice and thanked me for being a fan all these years.
