Jim Ross the following in his latest blog regarding Jerry Lawler and his run for Memphis Mayor:
"For Monday Night RAW fans, if Lawler wins the Memphis Mayoral race he will have to come off Monday Night Raw which would certainly end an amazing era that started 15 years ago. Jerry and I had approximately 12 great years together sitting at ringside every Monday night during the hottest period ever in WWE but as in all phases of our lives things change."
Jerry Lawler also said during an interview that he’d be retiring from wrestling if he won the election that is still a few months out.
