Jerry Lawler Responds to Charges

We posted earlier today about charges supposedly pressed against Jerry Lawler.

The King responded to these accusations to 1wrestling.com. Here's what Lawler said:

Regarding the complaint, this has got to be joke!

I have not had anything official served to me as yet. I first heard about this from a friend who called that he heard it on TV.

He explained that the TV report said that Sal Corrente, who is the Big Cheese on our show, got in touch with Tunica, Mississippi Police filed assault and battery charges, claiming I hit him too hard during a wrestling match!

This has got to be a joke. If I got arrested every time I hit a wrestler or manager during a wrestling show, I would be on death row by now!
