[Tattooed Freak]

The King, complete with his new face lift. Tazz and Michael Cole are terrible, need to be given acid then let loose to commentate.

About Jerry Lawler's operation...

Surgery leaves Lawler with two black eyes


LOS ANGELES – Sept. 22, 2002 – Jerry “The King” Lawler looks better today, but the scars and swelling are still visible.

Lawler was told when he had a minor surgical procedure almost three weeks ago that it would only take 48 hours to recover. But now he’s being told it’ll be more like one to three months. Still, it’s a small price to pay for “the King.”

“I’ve always been self-conscious about my neck, profile-wise,” Lawler said. He added that the real reason that he wore a goatee all those years in Memphis was to hide his neck. “I don’t know if you’d call it a droopy neck. It’s almost like a double chin; it’s just a fat neck.”

Lawler was reading the Continental Airlines in-flight magazine on a recent trip when he saw an advertisement for a doctor in New Jersey who performs corrective neck surgery.

“I thought, ‘That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for,’” he said. “I wanted to improve my look. When I talked to the doctor, he suggested adding a tail. And I said, ‘No I want something done to my face.”

But seriously, the doctor told him, “You’re the perfect candidate (for the surgery). It’ll turn out great. You’ll love it.”

Essentially, the doctor performed liposuction on Lawler’s neck and then sewed a nylon-like material – “almost like fishing line” – around the neck, tying it behind each ear to prevent future drooping.

The doctor also said that since Lawler was going to be unconscious for surgery anyway, that he might as well have his eyelids done. Lawler was hesitant because surgery was on a Wednesday and he knew he’d have to perform the following Monday on RAW, but when the doctor insisted that recovery time was just 48 hours, “the King” agreed.

“The next day when I woke up, my eyes were swollen shut,” he said. “I looked like I fought Mike Tyson with two hands tied behind my back.”

But Lawler added that his eyes didn’t hurt at all. His neck, which didn’t look bad, was excruciating. “It may have been the most painful thing I ever had done,” he said.

With two black eyes, Lawler commentated on RAW two weeks ago, but only appeared on camera wearing glasses or covering his eyes with binoculars. He’s called the doctor several times since the surgery, and has been assured that everything will be fine soon.

“(The doctor said) give it at least a month and you’ll feel 100 percent better,” he said. “But in three months, you’ll be ecstatic.”

Why do JR and The King now sit to the right of the stage? Not the same as when they are ring-side getting amongst the action.

[BONE]

Cause Bischoff prefers em sitting there, like Tony shiv etc (can't spell his name lol) used to in the old WCW...

[Tattooed Freak]

Ah, didn't they use 3 commentators though (usually 1 guest too)?

I can see JR jumping ship to Smackdown soon as it is caning Raw in teh U.S TV ratings.

[BONE]

Yes Mate, they did... U had that Tony Bloke, Mark someone I think, (sorry wcw ain't been on for a few years, & I've forgot their names lol)... Larry Zebysko, (F*CK sake, why they all got poxy awkward names)... Also did some commentary before it finished, as did Bicshoff before he actually started running the place on screen...

[The-Doc]

the reason why they are on the ramp is because it was the old look of the WCW and Bischoff prefers it that way!!

I would say J.R and King sort of the same!!

[connor]

its the re appearence of the wcw vs wwe thing, where wcw iS raw n wwe is smackdown if u get me, n oN the sbject of ring commentry, i dont think its 1 person i think its jr n the king coz theyre chemisrty is class but tazz is funny as fcuk even tho i aint seen smackdown 4 ages

[BONE]

Yeah... Tazz Is also Funny, but Michael Cole is Crap... King is still the best though...

[DelTrotter]

the altime great tho has to be a toss up between Jesse the body ventura and Gorilla monsoon or Gorilla monsoon and bobby heenan. back in the day these were tru heel and face comentators.

Tony (were outta time) shivone and mark madden the fat arse were awful worse than jr and the king that bad!!
