Jerry Lawler: I Made $130,000 For My WM27 Match Against Michael Cole

On the most recent edition of his podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Jerry "The King Lawler spoke about his match against Michael Cole at Wrestlemania 27 and thoughts on Raw and Smackdown GM's Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle

On Daniel Bryan & Kurt Angle:

“I can relate to both of these guy’s situation. I promise you neither Kurt Angle or Daniel Bryan go into this business and worked their way to the WWE to be general managers on Raw and Smackdown. I can assure they are doing it, but without a doubt, they are doing it because that the WWE wants them to do right now. Because they feel like their wrestling would be a liability in the ring right now. I know that they would both rather be out there performing in front of all the fans in the ring. And it’s gotta be eating them both up inside that the WWE thinks they are not capable of doing that anymore.”

On His WrestleMania Match With Michael Cole:

“My lone WrestleMania match led to my biggest payday ever in the wrestling business. Here’s me, an announcer, having a WrestleMania match with another announcer. In a matter of a few minutes [I was out there], I got paid $130,000 for that match.”
