Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler Signed A New WWE Contract

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler, who appeared on last week’s episode of SmackDown Live and will be calling this Sunday’s 30-man Royal Rumble match, appeared on the Cerrito Live Podcast over the weekend. During the interview, Lawler was asked about how his return on SmackDown Live happened.

“I re-signed another contract, so everything’s cool,” Lawler said.

When asked about how long he has re-signed for, he noted that WWE is re-signing everyone for one year at a time. He said that everything is open, and WWE is very spontaneous so he doesn’t know exactly when and how he’ll be used in the future.

While 39-year-old Allen Neil Jones of Gainesville, GA performed at the WWE Live event Monday night at the Convocation Center, 217 Olympic Dr., someone stole his cash and belongings.

Jones, who performs as AJ Styles, reported the theft of a black bag containing $1,000 in American currency and $7,000 in Japanese yen.

The culprit also stole an iPhone, a set of Beats headphones, a small screen TV, an Xbox 360, and six Xbox 360 games.

The case is still under investigation.

Kurt Angle Wants Steve Austin To Induct Him Into WWE Hall of Fame

Kurt Angle will be enshrined into the WWE Hall of Fame in March, and he’s already decided who he’d like to induct him.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, the Olympic gold medalist said “Stone Cold” Steve Austin should get the honors.

That’s a no-brainer. I had just started with WWE and had a program with Austin right after I beat Rock for the world title. I had a quick skit with Stephanie and Triple H, and then it was right on to Austin. We had some memorable feuds and some very funny segments, so he is at the top of my list.

Steve was one of the most giving individuals. He took me in and allowed me to shine even when it was still his time. I don’t ever compare myself to Stone Cold. He is the guy who elevated wrestling to a level that nobody ever went before, but he enabled me to show my talents when he very well could have said no. He was a very giving individual, and he is one of the guys who had the biggest impact on my career.

Triple H — WWE Women’s Tournament Will ‘Probably’ Happen This Summer

The WWE Women’s Tournament will more than likely go down this summer … this according to Triple H — who says he wants to uncover hidden talent like they did with the Cruiserweight Classic.

The WWE exec was interviewed by Fox Sports’ Wrestling Compadres podcast and told them the setback for a tournament featuring women has mainly been due to scheduling.

However, he finally had good news to report about when it will happen. “The women we’re gonna do probably this summer.” Adding “That’s the plan anyways.”

Popular female wrestlers Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace and Andrea were recently signed to WWE. Plus, there’s a whole crop of new performers at the Performance Center.

Even with all of that talent, Triple H says he wants to find more. Explaining the plan is “much like cruisers” … “to go scour the globe and maybe find the girls that are out there doing this that no one’s heard of. That no has seen. That are like these diamonds, waiting.”
