Als Jerry Lawler kurz vor Wrestlemania 17 die WWF verliess weil The Kat gefeuert wurde, schrieb er folgenden Brief an Vince McMahon und bat um Entschuldigung. Ich finde der Brief ist gut geschrieben von Jerry Lawler, er kommt ehrlich herueber, bedauernd, und er schreibt sehr offen.
Zitat:Saturday, March 3 2001.
Dear Vince,
Now that a few days have past since the events that happened last Tuesday,
I've had the time to reflect on the things that have happened.
I wanted to convey to you my feelings.
First and foremost, I wish last Tuesday never happened. Both Stacy and I
would like things to be like they were before Tuesday. Neither Stacy or I
have any desire to work anywhere other than the World Wrestling Federation.
That being said, both of us would like to come back. I've racked my brain
and tried to find out what exactly caused Stacy's release and if it's
something as simple as her attitude, please understand that it can change.
She's willing to apologize anyone she's given a problem to or an apology to
the entire staff of the WWF and ensure to everybody, she will be easy to
work with. I feel personally responsible for her actions. From the first day
I met her when she was 19 yrs old until now, I have been the one to shape and
mold her into what she is today. So her actions are a reflection of me. She
really feels bad about the situation and is blaming herself and I know that
I'm as much to blame as she. So if the reason for Stacy's release is
something OTHER than her attitude, then we would be willing to fix any
problem that may exist. The only possible conflict I could think of is
between Stacy and Chyna. At one time, they were very close. But when HHH and
Chyna had problems, it seemed Stacy had problems with her as well. All this
led to Chyna asking for the Kat to be taken out of all her storylines. Stacy
would do anything to have her job back.
It also occurs to me that Stacy wasn't the problem at all. The real reason
might have been to release Stacy so I didn't have to be fired. I thought NBC
might have been upset about my XFL commentary and put pressure on you to get
rid of me. If that's the case, I can understand and accept that decision,
but I wish it wouldn't cost Stacy her job as well. If you think it was time
to bring in a new announcer, I can accept that decision as well.
Vince, I have been in the WWF since 1993. I've seen people with worse
attitudes get second and third chances. I do not want to work anywhere else
because you and the WWF are like family to me. So I'm asking, is there
anyway this can be fixed? Can Stacy and I come back in any form? Work more,
less? We are willing to make this into an angle, business wise, whatever.
You can reach me at my home number or cell number.
Thank you Vince, I'll always be your friend and respect any decision you
make.
Yours very truly,
Jerry Lawler
