Jerry Lawler Not Doing Well In Mayorial Race

Fans who have been waiting for Jerry Lawler to leave the commentating booth are going to be extremely disappointed this week.

The former USWA Heavyweight Champion is said to be doing quite poorly in the race to become the next mayor of Memphis. Reports have surfaced that Lawler is currently in 5th place. He has 4% of the vote while the leading candidate has more than 50%. Unless a miracle happens, Lawler will not become the mayor.

Through his official blog, former commentating partner Jim Ross speculated that one of the reasons why Lawler is doing so poorly is because the city does not want to elect another Caucasian mayor and would prefer to have an African American mayor. Ross also mentioned that Lawler did not have a lot of funding for his campaign.

Lawler, who has won over 100 championships in his wrestling career (he owned the company), was expected to leave the Raw commentating booth had he been successful in his attempt to become the mayor.

Closing Thoughts

I honestly thought that he would have received more than just 4% of the vote. Also didn't think that he was going to be in 5th place. Then again, I'm no expert on politics.

That's a very interesting theory, a white man being overlooked in favour of a black man in politics. Is the city predominantly black ? Have the previous white mayors of Memphis had some type of scandals in their careers ? There are black mayors who've been involved in a scandal or two.

I mean Lawler had a poor showing this time, it doesn't mean he can't run again. A loss can make one wiser.

This isn't his first loss.

I'm almost afraid to ask. How many losses has he had ?

He's ran for mayor at least one before.

Yes the city is predomanently black but what the hell does that have to do with anything. most of america is white and Obama won so what does that tell you. another thing is whoever the hell thougt Lawler would win needs to have thier head examined. When a candidate's #1 reason to run for mayor is that he can protect himself without security is a freakin joke. and their hasn't been a white mayor in memphis for the past 12 years.

That's not many. If he lost 13 times, I'd say give it up, but 1 or 2 times isn't too bad.
Although, you'd think he'd have learned from those losses and made some adjustments to his campaign strategy.

Are you upset about something ? I'm responding to JR's theory that Lawler was white and that's the reason he isn't winning. I never said it, JR suggested it. Relax and take some soothing breaths.

he losing because he isn't a good candidate and everyone else is better than him. being jerry lawler doesn't get you far here especially if your a duche.
