“But what bothers me down to my core if you will, makes my stomach churn, is the way the Burger King talks about the pea-pull, the ones who work 9-5 40 hours a week that put MONEY in the pocket of someone like Jerry Lawler! THAT, Jerry Lawler won’t STAND, THIS TIME ANYTIME ANYWHERE! Trust me Burger King Jerry Lawler, sometime very soon, you will PAY FOR YOUR COMMENTS, FOR INSULTING THE WORKING CLASS, AND WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THERE WILL BE A NEW CHAMPION AND A NEW CHAMPION OF THE COMMON MAN----THE AMERICAN DREAM DUSTY RHODES, BET ON IT!
