[NOISE] Ring the bell.
[NOISE] >> Quick cover here.
>> [LAUGH] Look The King, he is in shape, he's ready.
This might be the best I've ever seen The King look Doll.
>> What The Miz has to do is he ahs to ride this emotion by The King.
He has to survive it early on in this matchup here.
There's no doubt Kind is gonna be emotional about this
opportunity here tonight in Oakland.
[NOISE] As The Miz takes control only here on the challenger.
>> Look at that.
>> Nice counter here by Jerry 'The KIng' Lawler.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> That's down right experience right
there.
>> Another cover here by The King.
>> [INAUDIBLE] Almost got him.
>> And again, like I said,
The Miz has to ride this early wave of emotion out of Jerry, The King Lawler.
The man who should be out here tonight at this announced table like he
spent the past 18 years calling action now in the ring against the future of the WWE.
>> Jerry, The King Lawler, like most of us, were sick of the antics of The Miz.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> As the King once again with the cover
on The Miz.
>> And let's not talk about sick about the antics of The Miz.
Let's tell you how it's really like, it's about Jerry 'The KIng' Lawler's ego.
It's about not being able to put the boots away,
about wanting to be in the spotlight.
That's what this is all about.
The Miz has a right to have an ego, not Jerry 'The King' Lawler,
[CROSSTALK] by the challenger, Miz is down.
>> I mean, Jerry is on fire right now.
He has a great chance to win this thing.
Like I said, if he can just hold up, if he could just hold up, try not to use
too much energy early, The King can pull this thing off here everytime, baby.
>> Get him out, get him out of the corner.
Get him out.
>> The official doing his job,
I believe King using a closed fist there- >> Come on, Cole.
>> As he was hammering away on Miz in the corner.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> If you were doing your job you would
know that the post fist is legal.
It wasn't 20 years ago, Cole.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Well, you know what,
I'm calling a Jerry 'The KIng' Lawler match, I might as well call it like
I'm living twenty years ago cuz that's what it's like.
It's back to the Future here tonight at Elimination Chamber.
I feel like it's [CROSSTALK] again.
>> A close eye, for the Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler.
>> Jerry looking [INAUDIBLE] >> Hey Jerry, guess what?
You can't win the title, there's a count out.
>> You really don't think it Jerry Lawler of all people know that.
>> Who knows?
He hasn't called any rule right say that he was a [CROSSTALK]
>> Watch you back.
Jerry watch your back, watch your back.3 >> [INAUDIBLE] in practice.
>> Wait a minute.
>> Drawing King in.
>> I mean that could be it right there.
I mean King could be out.
>> I'm gonna tell you once again ladies and gentlemen as we take another look.
>> I mean- >> what we see right
here is The Miz from behind.
>> That was it first right there.
That was him first, The King could be in big trouble right there.
Wait a minute, I think The King is out.
>> The King may be hurt.
>> I mean he's just trying to put him the ring and he can't do it.
>> The Miz is looking to take advantage of The King.
>> The Miz.
>> [SOUND] >> With a high knee and
this is what I'm talking about.
This is why Jerry Lawler shouldn't be in this match.
>> Miz quickly into the cover here on The King hops the leg.
>> When they kicked out.
>> And I almost feel sorry, almost for
what's gonna happen to Jerry 'The KIng' Lawler here tonight?
But he deserves what he's going to get.
>> I mean come on, deserves, what are you talking about?
>> He knows he has no business being in there.
>> Facts are facts.
>> Okay go, say what you gotta say.
>> While Jerry 'The KIng' Lawler knows he should never go to Wrestlemania and
compete in the match either.
>> The acts are facts, this whole thing tunned around when Alex Riley got involved
earlier and Riley getting involved again.
>> And it doesn't matter. >> As Miz goes for the cover yet again and
Jerry Lawler kicks out.
>> Come on, this shows you exactly the kind of champion The Miz is.
You gotta take a back door,
waiting to beat Jerry ' The King' Lawler >> [CROSSTALK] We know what kind of
champion The Miz has been since he became champion.
>> But I dind't think he would go this route.
I mean but how do you think he would go this round.
I thought maybe we underestimate the kind and actually come here and
fight one on one, but that's not happening man.
Come on, what is the deal with this guy?
>> Hey, Alex Riley is the one getting involved.
>> Now Jonas shouldn't be out here either.
>> Well whatever, but Miz isn't doing anything.
He hasn't done anything illegal yet.
>> Okay. >> Miz isn't asking Riley to get involved.
>> Okay. >> I mean come on Bull.
You haven't seen Miz tell Riley to do anything out there.
>> And here comes King.
>> King's not gonna give up on this thing man.
He knows exactly what's at stake right here dawg.
>> Jerry Lawler with some fight left in him.
It's Miz now with the reversal.
>> [NOISE] >> There's vintage Miz.
>> I'm gonna say what I've been saying for weeks,
Jerry Lawler should be out here at ringside calling this matchup.
If you're watching the Superbowl and
Troy Aikman decides that in the The third quarter he wants to play football again.
He doesn't run down to the locker room and throw in his pads and
run out in the field and play does he?
No he does his job as a commentator.
That's what King should be doing.
>> Devil King right there, you think that King is gonna quit?
He ain't gonna quit man, he's a veteran.
And like I said he's never been WWE Champion.
This may be his last chance.
And he go fight and fight to the end.
>> Well he should quit,
because he's gonna get seriously hurt out here tonight I think.
He shouldn't be in this match up.
He's in there against a world class athlete, a WWE champion,
a man at his prime.
>> Do you forget Cole how Jerry Lawler earned this championship match?
>> Yeah, John Cena helped him win the Royal Rumble match.
>> Jerry Lawler endured, wow.
>> Did you see? [LAUGH]
>> Superplex come on King.
>> He got it. >> Into the cover here.
>> We got a new champ, we got a new champion.
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> [SOUND]
>> It shows you what kind of heart
the King got right there man.
Wait a minute, look at this.
>> A little nervous, Cole?
>> Look at it.
>> Superplex here by Jerry 'The King' Lawler.
>> That was almost a brain buster modified.
>> King was one second away from shocking the world and becoming WWE Champion.
>> And listen to all these people in their pity, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry enough already.
>> [NOISE] >> And again Miz is gonna be too torn.
Just keep battling back in this.
>> Look at The King.
I mean kings going toe to toe with a guy that's probably 20 years younger-
>> Hey Parker,
you said earlier tonight it's a young man's game did you?
Did you say that earlier tonight?
>> Yeah I said that, I said that earlier in that match, not this match.
>> And here comes The King with the drop kick.
>> Big drop kick by The King.
>> Once again and Jerry Lawler is starting to build momentum.
>> I mean on any given night you can lose, that's what this is about.
It's not about how young you are, it's about how much heart you got.
And Jerry has a bigger heart than anybody in this arena.
>> Yeah, you can't mess with the heart of The Miz either, though.
>> Miz King sizing up the WWE Champion.
>> That was the finisher.
>> Get him with the cover once again.
>> That was the finisher right there.
>> Go with everyone listen to you,
this match would ended in 10 seconds the mins would have been victorious.
Give Jerry some credit.
>> Always hanging in there.
That means he deserves to be out there by any stretch of the imagination.
>> Wait a minute.
>> People don't know the real Jerry 'The KIng' Lawler.
>> And Miz slips out the back and once again,
Jerry Lawler capitalizing on his veteran.
>> [CROSSTALK] What, I mean why?
>> [NOISE] >> Why, why, why?
>> For the 3rd time in this match [INAUDIBLE].
>> Yes, yes, yes.
>> That should of happened a long time ago.
Send him out of here.
>> [SOUND] >> That's why we gather our thoughts here.
>> Now we are in business. >> No, what we need,
what is missing- >> Now we are in business.
>> This is good.
This is good for Miz.
>> It is good.
>> Because now Miz is gonna prove to the world that he can beat Lawler.
That he can retain the WWE without A-Rod.
>> Can this really fix that?
>> Alex Rowley got involved for the 3rd time.
Jery Lawler [CROSSTALK] champion.
>> Almost became chip right there split second.
>> [NOISE] Miz got it [INAUDIBLE] >> I mean Miz is feeling it right now,
he's feeling it.
>> Miz gonna get back.
>> Here we go,, here we go.
>> He's gonna try to drop that pat ball drop on him and get him out of here.
>> Come on Jerry do it, come on Jerry.
>> No, no, no.
>> [NOISE] >> King perhaps wasting
precious time, The Miz counters.
>> Part of a wide base, part of a wide.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> That's it.
>> [NOISE] >> The Miz is WWE Championship is
slipping away here tonight.
>> I can't believe this.
>> Yes. >> Just look around.
I can't believe it.
I cannot believe what I'm seeing.
This is wrong.
>> This is all experience right here.
>> Come on Miz.
>> This is all experience.
>> Come on Miz.
>> King you can't do this.
You cannot do this.
It is not above you anymore, it is not above you anymore, it's not above you.

>> Cole could be out [LAUGH].
>> [NOISE] >> That's what I'm talking about.
All right there.
>> [APPLAUSE] And Book, here we go.
>> Let's go. >> Jerry Lawler has turned things around.
>> Then we can talk.

>> King went out there, did a hell of a job tonight.
He actually went out, pulled out all the stops, almost pulled this thing off,
almost became the WWE Champion, something he's never been.
Almost went to WrestleMania, came up a little bit too short.
>> You have to feel for Jerry the King.
Everything King has been through over the past week and

Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler,
[MUSIC]
almost for a couple of days.
This couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
The mess though Was the best part of the night there for me, that is it.
>> Into the lap of Michael Cole.
And Jerrry Lawler was perhaps one pile driver away, we'll never know,
from becoming the WWE Champion here tonight.
King would counter this, but

>> And it doesn't matter, cuz I told you so.
Ladies and gentlemen, I told you so.
No Alex Reilly, no outside interference Ignorance.

>> But now he's gonna go to WrestleMania, cuz guess what, he's gonna buy a ticket.
Cuz I don't even believe they're gonna allow him to come out here and
call the action after this pitiful display,
pitiful display over the past couple of months.
The best thing about this is I can finally stop talking about Jerry 'The
KIng' Lawler.
I can stop talking all of it.
Enough of the 40 years.
>> Enough of the hyped 40 championships.
Enough of this, enough of that.
Jerry Lawler is not going to WrestleMania.
He is absolute embarrassment to this company.
He is an embarrassment to himself.
He is an embarrassment to WWE.
Either way.
