The New York Post has an interview with WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler, who was promoting WrestleMania coming to New Jersey in April. Here are a couple of highlights:

Current era vs. the Attitude Era: "I honestly feel, in my own personal opinion, that during the Attitude Era our roster was stronger. I just think that there were stronger, from top to bottom of our roster, characters and Superstars than we have now. We certainly have guys now that are capable of moving the ball and getting the job done with CM Punk, John Cena, Big Show, Randy Orton and other guys that are being featured right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not casting dispersions on these guys at all, but when you look back at the Attitude Era, there was some of the biggest names in the history of this industry. I don't think anybody will argue with the fact that there may not be anyone who could fill the shoes of The Rock or Stone Cold. Those are two guys right there that were in their heyday that we have not seen the likes of since and we may never see the likes of those guys again."

The Shield: "I think that what they've done with those guys and the way they have been presented has been very good in making a fast impact. I think now their characters need to be a little more developed, in other words, let's see a little more about these guys as individuals. You can of course still keep them as a unit but you can also hear more from them... I think you'll agree that the Nexus shot up fast and got to that certain level and then it just kind of petered out. I would hate to see that happen to these three guys and that's why I say it needs to go to that next level and I feel like in order to do that they'll need to have a little bit of a different kind of exposure other than just those hit-and-run type things."

Casting dispersions, indeed:beli:

He also said some shyt like he "Cena would give his right leg to face the Rock at Mania again". There's the company stooge Lawler I recognize underneath a glimmer of truth. I DESPISE the fake laughing during segments. It makes my skin crawl like nothing else watching the E and I can that since I didn't watch that Cena promo that everyone shytted on.

IDK how to feel about Lawler agreeing with me regarding the Shield. :guilty:

Lawler was a great booker in Memphis. He knows his shyt when it comes to wrestling, he has a great mind for it. But the thing he just doesn't give a fukk about it anymore, he's just collecting a paycheck and having fun in small indys :manny:

The current roster is horrible. That's why no one watches anymore.
