#4 Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler
Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler is just a mad lad! Even a heart attack on live TV after a tag team match on Raw in 2012 couldn’t convince The King of Memphis to hang up his boots. He returned to action a year later in 2013 and has made sure he keeps in touch with in-ring self every now and then.
The winner of 100+ titles during his territorial dominance in the 70s and 80s, Lawler came to the WWE in 1992 and sadly enough, hasn’t won a single championship in the company. He is, however, best remembered for being one-half of the greatest commentary duo of all-time along with Jim Ross.
While Vince McMahon will never let him compete again inside a WWE ring, he constantly makes his presence felt by joining the commentary team and the post and pre-show panels.
Lawler doesn’t need the WWE to wrestle as there are many independent companies who are willing to give the medical clearances a pass. The 69-year-old defeated Brian Anthony in a no DQ match at Northeast Wrestling’s (NEW) Redemption event that was headlined by a 27-minute encounter between Kenny Omega and Rey Fenix.
We’ve got two words for the WWE Hall of Famer- Just Retire!
