Poughkeepsie Journal interview

Interview0 Comments

Lawler and Ross talk to Poughkeepsie Journal about their separate futures inside the wrestling industry. Lawler comments.

I don’t wrestle on a full-time schedule anymore, but I still enjoy getting back in there. It’s exercise and it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed doing this my entire career. If I can do it once or twice a week, it’s cool for me. It’s just getting back on the horse again. I don’t worry about it. I don’t sit around and wonder if it’s going to be the same thing that‘s going to happen to me again. I don’t think anything different about it.

Steve Austin Show interview

Interview0 Comments

Lawler is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss his early career and Andy Kaufman.

If you remember, Steve. I started in this business 43 years ago. I had my first match in 1970. The business was different then. The people saw the wrestlers as huge stars but it was on a more regional business. I remember knowing you’d arrived if you made one thousand dollars in a week. That was when you knew you’d made it.
