He has won around 168 titles over the course of his decades-long wrestling career. Lawler later signed a contract with WWE and took on announcing duties during the early to mid-90s. Alongside the legendary Jim Ross, Lawler became the voice of WWE, and the duo is regarded by many as the greatest announcing team in WWE history.

Vince wanted Lawler on the RAW announce team
The upcoming edition of Monday Night RAW will be the show’s season premiere, and the announce team for the show was recently announced by WWE. Newcomers Vic Joseph and Dio Maddin will join Jerry Lawler behind the announcing desk for the flagship show. While speaking with Memphis Commercial Appeal, Lawler revealed that it was Vince McMahon’s decision to add him to the team as a third announcer, as the boss didn’t want two newcomers taking on announcing duties on their own, on WWE’s biggest weekly show.
