Former WWE Intercontinental Champion The Honky Tonk Man announced on his Facebook account that he is interested in taking over the reigns on commentary while his cousin and WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler recovers from a heart attack suffered on Monday.

HTM also commented on his relationship with Lawler and noted that the two did not see eye to eye on the business side sometimes, however they buried the hatchet a few years back.

“Jerry and I have not seen eye to eye on the pro side of the business sometimes, but we buried the hacthet a few yrs. ago. I am what I am and he is what he is. He is my first cousin with our mothers who are sisters who are both passed on now. Jerry and I had a 100 matches against each other. We had a respect not as family but as professionals. He was a master at talking and in ring work. I myself copied his work. I can only hope he can be the King again.”

Honky Tonk Man hosts his own weekly podcast “Shake, Rattle N Roll Radio”, which you can listen to at this link.
