During the latest episode of his “Dinner with the King” podcast, Jerry Lawler revealed some advice that he gave to The Man, Becky Lynch. Below are some highlights with a H/T to Rajah.com for the transcriptions.
On Lynch binge watching his matches:
All of a sudden, Becky Lynch come running up to me and she says, ‘I’ve been binge watching The King for the last two weeks on YouTube! It is a great compliment, sure. But I’m thinking, and I asked her, ‘You’ve been binge watching me on YouTube? For what?’ And [Lynch] says, ‘Because actually, Vince McMahon told me not long ago that he wanted me to be more physical, and I just thought, who throws the best punch in the business? And that’s, The King. So I’ve been watching you – been watching your matches for the last two weeks, over and over. How do you do it?’”
On Lawler trying to teach her how to throw punches like him:
“That’s a tough question, because it’s not something that I ever really thought about how I did it, I just did it. I told her, ‘Gosh Becky, I don’t know, that’s just the way I threw a punch from the time I started back in 1971. That’s just – I don’t know – it’s hard to tell somebody how to throw a punch. And that’s all you can do basically, is watch somebody else and you see one that you like, and that’s exactly what she was saying. She liked the way I threw a punch and she wanted to try to emulate that. And I told her…I would try to throw a punch sort of in the same way if you were in a real fight, where you would hit somebody. I would throw a punch right at somebody’s nose, right at their jaw or something like that, their mouth or whatever. And I don’t know, I would try to make my fist not be so rigid and hard, as if I were gonna try to knock somebody out. I would always make my fist in to, like, a shock-absorber. And then I would throw that punch right where I wanted to.”

On Lynch using the advice recently against Charlotte:
“Yeah, Becky tweeted that [punch]out, and what did I say? I tweeted her back and I said, ‘That’s a Jerry Lawler punch if I’ve ever seen one.’ It was beautiful and it was just a perfect bam! Straight in shot and it looked like she knocked her lights out.”
