Lawler is joined on today’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore. On this episode Lawler will pay tribute to his long-time friend, Lance Russell.

Russell passed away this week days after taking a fall at his son’s home. Russell was in a lot of pain and had to be heavily sedated. Lawler informs that Russell failed to ever truly emerge from his heavily-sedated state. In some ways Lawler feels that this may have been God’s way of sparing Russell the suffering of having to go through his daughter’s death, because his daughter had been battling cancer for a long time and passed away the exact same day that Russell was hospitalized.

Lawler informs that if it wasn’t for Lance Russell, there would have never been a ‘King Jerry Lawler’. Lawler was a tremendous artist growing up and had actually been offered a scholarship to attend art school. He had dreams of becoming a professional artist, and wanted to work for either DC or Marvel comics as a comic artist.

Lawler had always been a big professional wrestling fan and always watched Memphis Wrestling, hosted by Lance Russell. He recalls being asked to draw some of the professional wrestlers for the promotion’s use, and he’ll never forget the day that Lance Russell held up several pieces of his artwork live on the air. From there Russell led the charge in getting Lawler an opportunity to start learning the in-ring side of the business.

While Speaking to The UK Sun, Samoa Joa was asked about the possibility of a CM Punk returning to professional wrestling and basically said to never count Punk out.

“You never know with Punk. He is definitely somebody who does things his own way and I think the biggest thing is that you can never count out what his next move will be. I think no one would have predicted his move to UFC, nobody would have predicted a lot of things he does, so whatever he chooses to do, he will do what feels best in the moment.”

When asked about possibly facing him in a match or teaming up with the former WWE Superstar, Joe responded, “It depends on how I feel about him that week. It changes a lot as good friendships do!”

Ryback is joined on today’s show by his co-host Pat Buck.

Ryback informs that he watched Battleground last Sunday. He enjoyed the show, in spite of the fact that a lot of people seemed to be very critical of the show. He does point out that the Philadelphia crowd seemed very quiet during the Nakamura/Baron Corbin match.

Buck points out that a lot of people have been very critical of Nakamura’s main roster run thus far, saying that his work hasn’t been nearly as sharp as when he worked in Japan. Ryback says that Nakamura has only been on the main roster for several months, and these things take time.

Buck feels that Nakamura has not been presented well since arriving in WWE. He feels that WWE over-hyped his debut, and with the language barrier he’s facing, Nakamura simply hasn’t connected to the level that a lot of people thought he would. He doesn’t think that Nakamura’s work has been any worse than normal, but something has definitely been missing.
