Lawler arrested

[Lee]

Wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler -- and his 27-year-old fiancee -- were both arrested in Memphis Friday morning after allegedly attacking each other ... and cops say a gun was involved.

It all went down at Lawler's home around 1 AM. Lawler's fiancee, Lauryn McBride, claims the 66-year-old hit her in the head and pushed her against a stove -- and then got an unloaded pistol and told her to kill herself.

But Lawler tells a different story, according to WREG.com, the WWE star told cops McBride scratched him in the face, fired a candle at him and then kicked him in the crotch.

As for the gun, Lawler told authorities McBride was the one who pulled it out. He also says she was very drunk at the time of the incident.

When cops arrived -- both Jerry and his fiancee were arrested for domestic violence.

Lol what a story!

Lol what a story!

Domestic violence isn't something to laugh at.

Well, looks like my wish of JR back isnt too far fetched. King goes and gets hit with some heavy shit right before a big time in the company. This will not go well given Adam Rose was just ditched because of something similar. Vince will have to see that any favoritism will meet with backlash & negative PR is bad for business.

Rose also just received a suspension, he requested his release shortly after.

Why shouldn't someone laugh when he hears a story where humans bahave like stray dogs fighting over a piece of meat?

It was a suspension on top of a suspension is Rose's case. He was still on the wellness suspension when he got arrested.

Rich people are fucking crazy.

His fiancé is young enough to be his granddaughter.

His fiancé is young enough to be his granddaughter.

That's not even an exaggeration, Jerry Lawler was 39 years old when his fiancé was born.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Domestic violence is nothing to laugh about. Except in this case where it's ya know, funny.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

Did she rip his eyebrows off during this encounter?

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Where does Lawler pull this kinda ass from!

Middle school.

I got a chuckle out of it.

Reads like an episode of Cops

If the fall of Drew McIntyre taught us anything, it's that Lawler's reputation in the company may be better off if he got in a shot or two.

Might be working off of outdated information though. If my information were a woman, it's almost old enough to not be Lawler's type.

I thought they were tattooed on.

Stupid old bastard that he is. I'm not one for domestic violence against anyone, but fucking hell this is so ridiculous. To lose you job over it is insane.

More like an episode of "As the Stomach Turns".

To lose you job over it is insane.

If a public figure physically assaults their significant other, a company supporting them with continued employment invites scrutiny in these enlightened times. Appropriately so. Even if it's likely more about optics than anything else for the Powers That Be, publicly reprimanding people for this sort of behaviour sends the correct message.

Obviously they should determine the facts before taking that final step. But why is someone losing their job over this "insane"?

What am I missing here?

 

[Lee]

Heck I'd be fired for getting arrested at my job for pulling a gun out on my fiancee.

Lawler is saying she pulled the gun and threatened to kill herself. He just pushed it towards her and said go ahead.

That is the funniest thing Jerry has said in 10 years.
