Pro Wrestling Entertainment (PWE) is invading the arena for an unforgettable, family-friendly night of thunderous body slams, jaw-dropping suplexes, and top-rope drama.

A Royal Appearance: WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler
Headlining this massive night of entertainment is none other than a true icon of the squared circle: WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler.
For over four decades, Lawler has been synonymous with professional wrestling. As a multiple-time heavyweight champion and the undisputed ruler of the legendary Memphis wrestling territory, “The King” routinely packed the Mid-South Coliseum to the rafters. He famously transcended the sport in the early 1980s with his legendary, headline-grabbing feud with comedian Andy Kaufman—a rivalry that brought unprecedented mainstream media attention to pro wrestling and was later immortalized in Hollywood.
Even if you missed his regional in-ring prime, you undoubtedly know his voice. As the color commentator for WWE’s Monday Night Raw during its most explosive era, Lawler—alongside Jim “Good Ol’ JR” Ross—provided the soundtrack to millions of childhoods.
Now, he’s bringing decades of royal star power, unmatched crowd psychology, and his devastating signature piledriver directly to Lawrence County. Whether you are a lifelong fan or bringing your kids to their first match, this is a rare opportunity to see a living, breathing pop-culture legend up close and personal.
