In yesterday's post, I wrote about my feelings towards the angle WWE did during Jerry Lawler's return to Monday Night Raw. A name that has been closely associated with Lawler over the years has also spoke out about it.
Jerry Jarrett was one of the men behind Jerry Lawler's success in Memphis and commented on the angle via Facebook. I found what he said to be quite interesting:
I watched WWE last night. Jerry Lawler was returning after surviving a life threatening heart attack. I sat watching the television with a feeling of pride that they were honoring the return of such a great wrestler. I sat thinking, "now this is real class". Just when I was appreciating the class WWE was showing, it ended suddenly with a juvenile cheap heat angle.I turned the television off and started thinking about Linda McMahon's hard work and great expense running for the Senate. It is exactly this kind of programming that prevented her from becoming a Senator. Wrestling should have some limits and boundaries. If you offend great portions of the audience, it is a bad angle.
Well said.
