WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler revealed on on the latest episode of ‘Dinner With The King’ with co-host Glenn Moore, that TNA’s Jeff Jarrett contacted him when WWE decided to remove him from weekly television.

“During that time, I did get a call from Jeff Jarrett just saying, ‘Hey, we [TNA] were just wondering if you re-signed with the WWE or not?’ It was one of those things that I got right back to him and said I did re-sign with them [WWE].

[On possibly bringing King and J.R. together in TNA] Without a doubt, I’m sure that’s what was in their minds and it was possibly in the mind of JR’s as well.”

During the podcast the duo also talked about King’s departure from the WWE in 2001, Talking Smack being completely unscripted, being left off the commentary team of WWE2K18, and why TNA needs to get rid of their six-sided ring.
