6. JERRY 'THE KING' LAWLER
Trending
Originally dubbed "The King of Memphis," Lawler was huge in the delta region during the heyday of the iconic Memphis 'rasslin days. Once the territory days simmered down, Lawler eventually found his way to the WWF, where he had a really good in-ring run before joining the commentary team in the early 90's.
Lawler was influential in the success of what Monday Night Raw would become. He and Vince McMahon were a part of the building blocks of the whole Monday night wrestling phenomenon. Today, Lawler has become a household name in the commentary world and has given his life to the business, almost literally. In 2012, Jerry had a heart attack while working an episode of Raw. Instead of hanging up his crown and heading home, Lawler made a comeback and until recently, has been a fixture on the broadcasting team.
