Laying down the Lawler
TOPEKA, Kan. -- After getting moistened to the marrow with beer last Monday night at the hands of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Santino Marella appeared thirsty for revenge this week during the Survivor Series kickoff. After coming to the aid of his "girlfriend" Maria, who was pummeled by the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix, the hot-blooded grappler called Austin out onto the mat, perhaps knowing the Texas Rattlesnake was nowhere near the Kansas Expo Arena. When Austin didn't show, Marella channeled his venom at Raw announcer and Stone Cold friend Jim Ross. But Good Ol' J.R.'s announcing partner, Jerry "The King" Lawler, intervened in an attempt to tame the Italian Stallion. (WATCH)
