MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler is behind bars, accused of domestic assault.
Friday morning, Memphis Police Department put him and his fiancée in jail.
It's a case of he said, she said where both Lawler and his fiancée, Lauryn McBride, ended up as victim and suspect.
McBride, 27, has lived with Lawler, 66, for five years. She said they both got into an argument, and it turned violent.
She said Lawler held her against the kitchen counter, hit her in the head, pushed her against the stove, put a gun on the kitchen counter, and told her to "go ahead and kill yourself."
Lawler told police the argument started when McBride lied about where she'd been.
He said McBride scratched him in the face, threw a candle at him, and kicked him in the groin. He said she was drunk when she told him she knew where the gun was and threatened to kill herself.
Lawler said the reason he held McBride in the kitchen was because she was drunk and trying to leave the house in her car.
Memphis police officers were unable to determine the primary aggressor in the case, so they arrested both McBride and Lawler.

Lawler always been about the heauxs.
Damn JoJo
Lawler need to stop messing with all these young girls half his age and find him a woman closer to his age.
He's always getting caught up in some shit with these young hoes.
This also might be the perfect opportunity for WWE to just cut him for good.
He's been garbage on commentary for years now. I miss the old heel Lawler on commentary.
I think that heart attack he had just bought him some extra time with the company.
WWE should just let him go and move on.
Agreed. He's had legal issues in the past, and you can't be getting caught up with mid-life crisis shit with some under-30 broads when you're nearly pushing 70.
King - fuck a variety of pussy & don't get caught up with all the bullshit. You're too old for that shit.
WWE SUSPENDS JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER INDEFINITELY AFTER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARREST
Pro wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler was arrested Thursday night following a domestic dispute with his fiancé Lauryn McBride. Both parties were taken into custody with each claiming to be the victim in the scenario. Lawyer, 66, said that McBride “scratched his face and kicked him in the groin” while McBride, 27, says that Lawler “hit her on the head and pushed her against a stove.” She also doubled down on her claims, alleging that Lawler “got an unloaded pistol, put it on the kitchen counter and told her to kill herself.” The King went on to counter that accusation.
For their part, WWE wasted no time in suspending Lawler indefinitely, issuing a formal statement to the media.
“WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Jerry Lawler has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lawler#Personal_life
Lawler is the cousin of fellow professional wrestler The Honky Tonk Man.[67] Lawler has been married three times. He has two children, Brian and Kevin, from his marriage to his first wife, Kay.[68] His son Brian, who has previously wrestled in WWE as "Brian Christopher" and "Grandmaster Sexay," is now wrestling in independent promotions. His other son, Kevin, has been in professional wrestling as both a referee and wrestler under the names "Kevin Christian" and "Freddie Gilbert," the latter of which was used during a stint as the "brother" of Eddie Gilbert.[citation needed] In his book It's Good To Be The King ... Sometimes, Lawler says he believes Kevin's short physical stature has prevented him from reaching success similar to Brian.[citation needed] In August 2008, Kevin was arrested on charges of trespassing and aggravated burglary.[69] After divorcing Kay, Lawler was later married to Paula from February 14, 1982 to October 2, 1991.[68]
He met his third wife, Stacy "The Kat" Carter, at a charity softball game in Memphis, Tennessee on July 23, 1989.[70] They married in September 2000.[1] In mid-February 2001, Carter (who was a valet and has also made in-ring appearances) was released by the World Wrestling Federation.[71] Lawler then left the company in protest.[71] Carter and Lawler later separated shortly before Lawler rejoined the WWF in November 2001. Their divorce was finalized on October 15, 2003.[20]
In 1993, Lawler was indicted on charges of allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl, which caused him to miss Survivor Series 1993.[72] The charges were later dropped, after the girl admitted she fabricated some of the story. Lawler was arrested on March 16, 1999 after throwing a ticket at a police officer and running over the officer's foot.[73]In 2016, Lawler and his girlfriend, Lauryn McBride, were both arrested on charges of domestic abuse, with each party claiming the other assaulted them.[74] Lawler was suspended indefinitely for the incident.[75]
Though he has spent most of his life in Memphis, Lawler did spend a part of his childhood in Ohio after his father was transferred to a Ford Motor Company assembly plant in Vermilion, Ohio. From the ages of 7 to 15 his family resided in the city of Amherst, Ohio, a suburb near Cleveland.[citation needed] Though this stay was brief, it would have an influence on Lawler throughout his life thereafter. He often cites Cleveland as his second-favorite city behind only Memphis and is a die-hard fan of both the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Browns. When WWE comes to Cleveland, Lawler will usually wear a Browns jersey or an Indians jersey (at SummerSlam 1996 he teased Browns fans by wearing a Baltimore Ravens jersey, because the original Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens), and during baseball season, he will throw out the first pitch at an Indians game.[citation needed]
Lawler is a collector of Coca-Cola and Superman merchandise, and owns a replica of the Batmobile from the 1960s Batman series.[76]

WWE Trying To Sign Big Names For Brand Split
Posted by Brad Davis on 06/18/2016 at 01:45 PM
With WWE's brand split imminent, the company is reportedly trying to secure several former stars to make their returns to RAW or SmackDown.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted on Twitter that WWE has been calling former talent about coming back to the company. After the brand split, the RAW and SmackDown rosters will each tour separately and the company reportedly feels each side needs some additional recognizable names.
"[WWE is] calling lots of 40+ year old guys to return for the new era," he wrote.
The draft is currently believed to be taking place on the on July11th edition of RAW, with SmackDown going live on Tuesday nights starting July 19th.
List of Major Names Rumored For Brand Split
Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/19/2016 at 09:45 AM
Forbes.com has an article mentioning several big names that WWE is reportedly in contact with about having return to the company for the brand split. Here is a direct quote from the article:
"According to sources, this talent includes the likes of Goldberg, Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio and TNA’s Jeff Hardy."
Goldberg has been rumored to return to the ring since WrestleMania 32, but it is likely his return will be limited run or a one-off match at WrestleMania 33. However, WWE is hoping they can squeeze a couple of big matches out of Goldberg so they can help bolster a brand split.
Kurt Angle has been “angling” (no pun intended) for a WWE return for over a year with no success. WWE is discussing bringing Angle back and putting him on the Smackdown brand. To make things even more interesting, WWE is said to be kicking around the idea of aligning Angle with NXT tag team ‘American Alpha’ to form a new version of “Team Angle”.
Rey Mysterio is currently aligned with Lucha Underground but it is said that Mysterio is open to a WWE return and WWE is interested in the same. With WWE’s globalization efforts and brand expansion Mysterio, who departed WWE in early 2015, would be a great addition to either RAW or Smackdown, with the likely destination being Smackdown.
Although he is currently signed with TNA, Jeff Hardy has not been shy about a potential WWE return, where he aims to close out his career. Inan interview with Sports Illustrated, Hardy opened up about his desires to return to WWE:
Carlito, MVP & Stevie Richards are other names that WWE has reportedly reached out to according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.

I wish Rey would stay in LU. They make a point to detail his importance to lucha libre's popularity and he feels like a big deal there. I don't know what the working relationship between WWE & AAA/LU is but if Rey does go I hope he can still participate in LU tapings.
I'm not excited about a single one of those names returning to WWE. Well maybe M.V.P. but the rest of those guy 
- Goldberg - terrible wrestler, who was always more about the flash and lights than actually putting on a decent match.
- Kurt Angle - great wrestle who's best days are FAR behind him and who might legitimately die of a heart attack in the middle of the ring if he doesn't slow down and realize that he isn't a young man anymore. He needs to evolve his move set to fit his age and ability (i.e. Sting)
- Rey - has never been used properly by WWE and is much better off in Lucha Underground.
- Carlito - well how to put it ....
- 7 year old kid: "Dad who is that guy?"
- dad: "uhm, I think he used to spit apples at people or something."
- 7 year old kid: "Why?"
- dad: "I'm not really sure. It was a long time ago and he wasn't that big to begin with."
- 7 year old kid: "
. Ok, sure." - dad: "I'm pretty sure that him and another guy stabbed John Cena in a night club once."
- 7 year old kid: "
"
If they were smart they'd reach out to Shelton Benjamin and give him a proper run this time. That or drive a dump truck full of money up to CM Punk's house 
Kurt Angle can still pull out some great matches. He would be best used as a part time big match talent. Book him with American Alpha to give them a rub as the new Team Angle.
Rey is better used in LU. It's only a few shows and he's a big name in the company.
Jeff as long as he's cleaned up would be good for the company.
Unless Carlito is teamed up with the Primo and Epico I don't care.
Goldberg only for a Mania match. You know he's going to go over in his match.

guess her contract with Vivid expired..
Might as well sober up post-Vivid.

Thought they would hold off on the shield triple threat match until Mania. Since the brand extension is coming next month they have to do it now since they are going to be on different brands.
watch itll be a one-day reign..both Reigns and Rollins will invoke their rematch clauses tomorrow night
Ambrose isn't Zach Ryder.watch itll be a one-day reign..both Reigns and Rollins will invoke their rematch clauses tomorrow night
