Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Jerry Lawler Moments in Professional Wrestling

September 14, 2012

Number 7: Extremely Crappy Wrestling

In the mid 90’s, Jerry “The King” Lawler made it known that he did not like ECW one bit. In a time where WWE was trying to help ECW, (yeah I said it) Lawler would continue to ridicule and criticize ECW’s product, calling it Extremely Crappy Wrestling. After months of trash talk, ECW would invade the brand new Monday Night Raw. You can remember the scene on the huge R.A.W. letters where ECW wrestlers came out to wreak havoc on Vince’s company. This was edgy, unqiue, and much different than anything we have seen up to date. Lawler would leave WWE for one night to face Tommy Dreamer in August 1997. The event was “Hardcore Heaven” and Dreamer would shut up a loud mouthed WWE guy. This was great and really opened the door for new and fresh ideas to entertain fans of all brands.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
