Two major points of interest here:
1. Whenever he’s within 200 feet of the Memphis city limits, Jerry “The King” Lawler becomes awesome. I don’t know what I like more, the fact that he’s piledriving a guy on a basketball court during a timeout or the fact that he’s got spandex King pants that match his Grizzlies jersey.
2. Charles Barkley just stuck up for WWE Superstar John Cena (a job usually reserved for women and little kids covered in wristbands) and threatened former UFC Heavyweight Champion and current WWE simulated arm-breaker Brock Lesnar, promising an ultimate team-up with Shaquille O’Neal if Brock doesn’t leave Cena alone. I’m sad he didn’t threaten to Five Buck Box him in the diverticulitis.
The boast seems like just another one of Sir Charles’ ridiculously spoken sentences, but you never know … Barkley does have connections in the wrestling business:
And wrestling loves its random basketball guest stars. If Barkley does show up and lock his ‘STFU And Jam’ submission on Brock, he’ll be the latest in a long tradition of players with fake fighting experience — Dennis Rodman, Karl Malone and proposed tag team partner Shaq have all found success in the ring.
Maybe he should pick on someone smaller, though. If Brock ever got a clean shot on Barkley, the results would be turrble.

“Didn’t he play for the Globetrotters??” Ah, the Brain’s nonchalant racism.
Shut up and Jam. Awesome, awesome game
You’re right, Brandon. STFU and Jam was a totally worthwhile payoff.
STOP TALKING ABOUT WRESTLING THIS IS A SPORTS BLOG BLARGH
STOP COMMENTING ONLY ON WRESTLING AND COMMENT ON OTHER THINGS, BLARGLEDY ARGYLE!
I wonder if Georges was sober enough to remember his whole entire name when he took that picture with Barkley.
He got Wrestling in my Sports!
He got Sports in my Wrestling!
Wrestling before Sports, Better Change Your Shorts.
Sports before Wrestling, Grab Some Twigs and Start Nesting.
When you’re sliding in to first, and you feel something burst, sports and wrestling. Sports and wrestling.
Are you changing your shorts for jorts?
Hmm, I do believe the original proverb, properly translated does say jorts and not shorts.
Good catch, Alopezb5!
Wait, this websight gets updated on days outside of wrestling? whaaaaaaa?
Also, Malone and DDP were a rad tag team.
I saw that in person last night and I can honestly say every thought of Lawler being a god awful announcer flew out the window when he came out to that crowd pop. He’s untouchable in Memphis. What was funny was the local wrestler who sounded like a total hick acing if he was from L.A. since he had on a Clippers jersey and a nice pair of sunglasses. Man, he must be related to Jack Nicholson or something.
