Loss Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Lawler talks about the rough travel schedule of a wrestler. In a moment that makes me love the yearbook concept, he talks about an upcoming show in Philadelphia he's working to prove his point, and we will have footage from that show waiting on us. He's here to plug his new hotline. 1-900-654-5464. $1.50 for the first minute, $1.00 each additional minute, in case you're interested. Hotlines in general were the scam of the year, I suppose.

PeteF3 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Travel can grind on Jerry Lawler, but as long as the wrestling is fun he's going to hang in there as long as he can. I wonder if he had 2012-13 in mind at the time. Lawler hypes up a wrestling hotline--get his thoughts on Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan! Leave messages! Wrestling hotlines weren't the scam of the year, ALL hotlines were the scam of the year. I remember them being absolutely ubiquitous at this time, wrestling-related or not. Thank God for the interwebs. Sadly we don't get to see Lawler take on M.C. Slammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Good god how many damn hotlines did people have. Lawler does so well in getting over the toll of being a wrestler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Lawler now has his own 900 hotline. Bit cheaper than some of the other hotlines going around. He teases that he makes comments about other wrestlers on his hotline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 The first part of this interview, where Lawler opens up about the toll that travel takes on a wrestler, is fascinating. Unfortunately, the second part is a shill for his new hotline. It's reasonably priced compared to the others, though; only $1.50 for the first minute and a dollar for each additional minute. That's so the poor people of Memphis can connect more affordably with their hero, you understand. I wonder how many of them actually called this hotline and what they got for their money. I wonder who this M.C. Slammer that Lawler wrestled after this interview became, if anybody. He sounds like a cross between P.N. News and the Big Bossman. I believe Lawler wrestles Eddie Gilbert on that Philadelphia show which he references here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 This kind of feels like it's playing off of that piece earlier in the yearbook, where it was Lawler talking about life on the road, maybe with Connie Chung or someone? Anyway, I would love to see a comprehensive list of all the wrestling hotlines ever. I imagine someone has made one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Lawler is really good at conveying a message. Any message. He gets the "life is hard as a wrestler" message across as well as you'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
