Cook - lawler not at raw
Jerry Lawler had verbally
agreed to the WWF deal, which did include Kat appearing on tonight's
show. Lawler told at least one person and those in WWF also peg this
agreement as being toward the latter part of two weeks ago.
In an interview today, because Lawler publicly had denied not only a
deal but even that any discussion between him and WWF had taken place
early last week, he claimed the deal and the talks didn't take place
until this past Thursday.
Lawler was under the belief that both would be offered contracts. As a
face-saving measure, Stacy Carter would not have had a high guarantee
(or perhaps even any guarantee, but a deal). There was tremendous
opposition internally after the deal was agreed on because of Carter
appearing on TV.
The WWF sent Lawler a contract but didn't send Carter a contract,
although she was still to appear on tonight's show. Lawler felt that
wasn't acceptable and backed out.
