I read an article talking about the time Jerry Lawler was in court with charges of statutory rape, with a 13 year old girl. Now, compared to Feinstien, Jerry Lawler got off pretty clean. There was never a serious fallout with the media or WWF's audience, and Lawler came back to work. I just wonder why Feinstien's actions have made him look far worse than I remember Lawler looking. Feinstien's actions were horrible, but he didn't actually commit the deed like Lawler. By the way, was Miss Kitty the girl he had molested back in 1994?
I believe Lawler was innocent of the charges. You didn't have the concrete evidence you had with Feinstein. And things are A LOT different with the "wrestling media" these days.
Plus, I'm fairly certain that Feinstein getting caught was a stunt orchestrated by either a website or a news station looking to drum up ratings for sweeps.
I saw the video on the NBC affiliates website and they did nothing wrong...Perverted-justice.com poses as underage girls/boys, and weeds out adults who are willing to come and meet them...Feinstein whole-heartedly went to the house thinking he was going to pick up an underage boy...he screwed up...no other way around it...

Miss Kitty would have been in her twenties back in 1994. She was about 18 or 19 when she hooked up with Lawler, and they were a couple for over 10 years.
I actually remember that incident being advertised on my local NBC affiliate. Then, I read the log, and he said one of the worst things you can say in that case: "lol ill [sic] pretend u said 18"
I also remember that the police and families in the neighborhood had a big problem with this whole thing, because NBC hadn't warned them this was going on, and they felt that this put their kids at risk.

Or, if life imitated WWE.....then we'd have nothing but arbitrary intangibles that never reach resolution. And the bad people who create the problems would never go away, but instead win every single time.
