During an interview with “Commercial Appeal”, Jerry Lawler discussed how he came to be selected to be one of Raw’s new announcers, if he feels that there will be any rust and more. Here are the highlights:

On How He Came To Be Selected:

It was (Raw’s executive director) Paul (Heyman’s) idea to put Vic and Dio on Raw. Apparently, what I was told, Vince (McMahon) said, ‘You can’t throw these two new, young guys on our flagship show. Call King.’ That’s how it happened.

On How Long He Expects To Be In The Booth:

He told me it’s for however long I want to do it, so that sealed the deal.

On If He Expects To Be Rusty:

I feel real confident it’ll be like riding a bike. I’ll treat it exactly the way I always have — like I’m watching the show in my living room with my neighbor.
