Remember how much fun The King used to be as a heel commentator? Well it looks like he’s bringing that persona back as he was acting more like a heel on Thursday’s episode of SmackDown. Lawler has also been retweeting messages from fans about how happy they are to see him work as a heel again. You can check out a few of the messages below.

Absolute genius for WWE to pick up @mauroranallo and pair him with "new attitude" @JerryLawler

Absolutely love the heel turn by @JerryLawler on Smackdown! Best heel commentator ever! @WWE #SmackDown #Longlivetheking

Smackdown to me has always been decent, but @mauroranallo and a clearly revived @JerryLawler makes #SmackdownOnUSA must-see (and hear) TV!

Be careful what you wish for. One of wrestling's greatest heels, @JerryLawler is back. Jerry Lawler is is great. When he's bad, he's better.
