Over the past several weeks, Grizz has been honoring wrestling greats like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Stone Cold Steve Austin, “Macho Man” Randy Savage & The Rock by ripping off their entrances.
Grizz waited until the high profile stage of Grizzlies-Thunder Game 3 to debut his version of the entrance made famous by Memphis wrestling icon and Grizzlies playoff regular Jerry “The King” Lawler.
