On the most recent edition of “Dinner with the King”, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler addressed the current sexual assault allegations which have been brought forward against some of Hollywood’s most powerful men. Podcast co-host Glenn Moore asked Lawler if he feels any allegations will come out of the pro wrestling world, as recent reports claim the Broadway Theater world might be the next to unravel allegations similar to those of Hollywood

Lawler responded to Moore by saying, “It appears that eventually anybody that’s ever flirted with anybody, or had any kind of sexual contact with anybody, is all of a sudden you could potentially be a target in the future” (h/t to Pro Wrestling Sheet for the transcription).

Moore then noted he was referring to serious sexual assault allegations, such as rape, and Lawler related the topic to that of ribs pro wrestlers would do to each other, such as photographing themselves nude next to a wrestler who is sleeping.

“At the time, you’re thinking ‘this is totally harmless’”, Lawler continued. “But then all of a sudden, 15-years-later, that photograph shows up somewhere … it’s gonna offend somebody. That’s the way the country has become. Everything 99% of the people may think is done in jest, or whatever, and all of a sudden that 1% out there is gonna be offended by it. And that 1% can speak up as loudly as the other 99% cannot.”

Lawler’s thoughts on the subject have been met with varying criticism from fans online, and you can listen to Lawler’s full comments in the video player below:

After listening to his rant, I can say that @JerryLawler is a sexist pig that does not think putting your genitals next to someones face is sexual assault and he thinks women should still be demoralized in Bra & Panties matches.
