According to a report in todayâs Memphis Daily News, Memphis wrestling promoter Corey Maclin is suing WWE and Vince McMahon for pulling Jerry Lawler from a scheduled match where he was booked to face Hulk Hogan in Memphis, Tennessee last year. Lawler pulled out of the appearance because he claimed that his WWE announcerâs contract would not allow him to work because footage would be shot for the Hogan Knows Best reality show on VH-1. At the time, Hogan was not on good terms with WWE. Paul âBig Showâ Wight ended up taking Lawlerâs place.
