All hail the king! ESPN’s “College Gameday” emanated from Memphis this morning, where the University of Memphis Tigers will host the SMU Mustangs later this evening in a Top-25 College Football matchup. However, Elvis Presley wasn’t the only king who was featured as a part of the broadcast.
Jerry “The King” Lawler was featured as the guest picker this morning, where he gave his predictions on who would win the matchups of the day. As only he can, Lawler arrived in style:

While Lawler went with his hometown Memphis Grizzlies, Lee Corso had another idea on who would win the game:
Needless to say, this didn’t sit well with Lawler!

This past September, The Undertaker appeared on GameDay in Austin, Texas, while Roman Reigns served as guest picker last year when the show emanated from Fort Worth, Texas.
Editor’s Opinion:
I love it when WWE superstars are on College Gameday! These occurrences combine two of my favorite things: professional wrestling and college football. However, I am going to agree with Corso here, and say that the Mustangs are going to stay undefeated after upsetting the Tigers!
