Jerry “The King” Lawler has had one of the most dynamic and interesting careers in the history of professional wrestling. One of the best ways to get a full look at the King of Memphis is watching “It’s Good to Be the King” on the WWE Network. Follow the career of Lawler as he gets started in the business working in his hometown of Memphis.
Watch as the best documentary crew in the business follows a young man who started out as an artist who rose to fame. Jerry’s story is not a typical one for his era, as a lot of territory stars traveled around but The King’s career centers around Memphis even until this day.

This is definitely a great watch for wrestling historians, especially those want to know about territory era of the business. Because of Lawler’s faithfulness to his home most national fans will get good glimpse of how big of a star he truly was in the ring. Fans will be treated to an inside look at the legendary Andy Kaufman feud that led Lawler to national prominence. “It’s Good to be the King” is one of the better wrestling documentaries in recent time and a great look at the storied career of Jerry Lawler.
