Jerry Lawler Believes WWE Is A 'Good Diversion' During Bad Times

Jerry Lawler was interviewed by ABC affiliate in Memphis about Monday night’s Raw emanating from the WWE Performance Center due to the coronavirus pandemic. Lawler said he has seen nothing like this in his nearly 50 years in pro-wrestling.

"I really don’t know what to think about this. I’ve been in the wrestling business for nearly 50 years and traveled and seen just about everything but I’ve never seen anything like this so far"

He added he thinks it is important WWE continues to entertain:

"I think all you have to do is ask anyone who sat on a Sunday with no sports on TV. It was just unbelievable. I don’t know how many times I sat there looking at my TV and said, "oh my gosh, what is happening here," Lawler said. "I think that it’s a good diversion. It gives people something to take their mind off with all this bad news."
