WWE Superstar Jerry ?The King? Lawler to Appear at a Wichita Thunder Game on Friday, February 17th

Posted: Jan 20th 2012 By: mikeiles

The Wichita Thunder of the Central Hockey League is excited to announce that WWE Superstar and current color commentator Jerry ?The King? Lawler will be appearing at the Thunder game on Friday, February 17th against the Quad City Mallards.

Known as ?The King? from his in-ring career, Lawler joins Michael Cole every Monday on the WWE?s flagship show, Monday Night Raw, on the USA Network. He has been a part of the announcing team since 2001 and was most recently named WrestleSlam Announcer of the Year (2010). The Memphis, TN native was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.

Lawler began his career in 1970 and had held more championships in many different promotions than any other current WWE performer (164). He is well-known for his feuds with Bret ?The Hitman? Hart and comedian Andy Kaufman. Lawler?s incident on Late Night with David Letterman where he slapped Kaufman is considered one of the most memorable moments in that show?s history. His autobiography, It's Good to be The King?Sometimes, was released in 2002 and continues to be one of the best sellers in the WWE autobiography series.

Lawler will be available on the concourse for pictures and autographs that can be purchased for ONLY $5. The last WWE Superstar to appear at a Thunder game was Mick Foley in 2004.
