Jerry Lawler and Elvis Presley almost had a match

[@sogcitymac7940]

The King vs. The King. That would've been awesome!

[@bukowskispen]

It would have never happened, Elvis was so far into pills he was out of it most of the time, he was the greatest performer, but 75-77 it was a downward spiral for him.

[@chaswickswhite5736]

Elvis would have been put over. Colonel Tom Parker would have FORCED them to book it THAT WAY.

Winner gets the crown...and fried peanut butter & banana sandwiches...

[@JaeBedford]

That would've been the biggest wrestling match ever

The 2 Kings Of Memphis! 👑 The King Of Rock 'n Roll vs The King Of Wrestling! It almost writes itself! 🤔💭🤼‍♂️🎸🏰

[@Miss_Sippy]

It's funny about the Eddie Bond connection between Lawler and Elvis too.

Rip Elvis

[@oscarcarrasquillo6355]

That's the real Jerry Lawler the guy that said Elvis Presley's best career move was death. Natural heel

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

He said that he heard somebody say that, and that it was a horrible thing to say. No different than the way you made this comment.

[@tomdotson511]

This would have been the greatest thing ever

[@TheMontgomery333]

My revelation to it is I believe It was in Elvis's mind that it could be a way to become closer with the public instead of so much isolation. But as in other things, The Big E most likley would have backed out in the last minuite the first the Colonel got the word of it.

[@TheMontgomery333]

Like I said, just a thought.

[@SylentEcho]

Who's this guy interviewing him? I'm in my twenties and I know more about the 70s and wrestling than he seems to.

[@gd2785]

Crazy

[@jackspade6270]

I didn't know Elvis Presley was a wrestler, what territories did he wrestle in, or was he just an Indy guy?

[@jackspade6270]

EXPLISIT HIPHOP I'm not saying that all I was saying was I didn't know whether or not Presley actually ever wrestled before

[@jackspade6270]

EXPLISIT HIPHOP mr. T had an amateur wrestling background

[@danielhaynes2373]

Jack Spade Lawler began by explaining that the match would be wrestler vs martial artist (karate), which Elvis was a qualified black belt.
