Jerry Lawler's Latest Statement WWF/XWF Submitted by Robert Fallon on Sunday, November 18, 2001 at 3:58 AM EST
11/18/01 - The following is part of Jerry "The King" Lawler's latest statement posted at his official website:
"After Thursday's Smackdown and Paul Heyman's "shoot" interview, I guess a lot of people are assuming he won't be doing commentary anymore. That would leave one to figure that I would fill that opening. Well, all I can tell you is that it is 10:45 am on Saturday morning, November 17, 2001, and I have no deal or contract with the WWF whatsoever. So, what will happen? Your guess is as good as mine. What will happen at Survivor Series? Your guess is as good as mine. Will Paul Heyman still be the announce on Raw Monday night? Your guess is as good as mine. If a call came to me from the WWF could I get out of my deal with the XWF? That's one question where my guess is better than yours. After the tapings Wednesday night in Orlando, I had a long meeting with the officials of the XWF. We came to the agreement that should I be offered a position with the WWF and I chose to accept it, that they would not hold me to my contract."
