>PWInsider.com is reporting that Jerry “The King” Lawler is no longer with WWE.
>According to the report, the contract for the WWE Hall of Fame legend and former longtime color-commentator for the company expired, and WWE “quietly declined to renew” the deal.
>One source commented that under the previous ownership in WWE, Lawler would have always been taken care of and contractually connected with the company in some form or fashion.
>“It’s a new era,” one source told PWInsider. “The old company is dead. People can say they hate Vince [McMahon] and Kevin [Dunn] all they want, and they’d be right to do so, but certain people would have been taken care of. Lawler would have been one, but this isn’t the old WWE. Howard Finkel, God bless him, wouldn’t have had a job for life here anymore, either.”
