i bet punk had something to do with it. :nod:
Cole gave a final update as Raw went off air for the night. Jerry's condition has stabilized, he's breathing on his own and his heart is beating on it's own and he's being prepared for a CAT scan on his chest and his head.
Like I said, I haven't watch wrestling in at least 7 years, but Jerry and JR were the announcers on Raw back in the days I did watch. When I saw that story about Jerry, that was least got me interested in what was happening and how he was doing. Shit like that is always an extremely scary situation, not having a clue what exactly is wrong and how bad it is or will get.
CM Punk beat him down in a cage 2 weeks ago. He wasn't at Raw to 'sell the injuries' last week. I haven't watched yet, but my initial feeling was this was a work.

Well, I know they've done some pretty head scratching storylines in the past, but I sincerely hope that they wouldn't sink so low as to make a damn storyline with something like a heart attack. There are some things that just cross the line when it comes to shit like their storylines, and having a heart attack crosses that line.
Stuff like heart attacks are very serious to me, especially since my dad's doctor in the past has told him that he's a prime candidate for a "drop dead" heart attack, between being a smoker, having high blood pressure and other stuff. To make something as serious as a heart attack into a damn storyline would go way over the line for me.
i doubt its a storyline too....especially with how sincere michael cole was coming across in his updates. whether that was just good acting, idk.
the only reason i said that punk had something to do with it, was because about 10 minutes into the show, punk and bret hart were in the ring together talking, and punk asked how lawler was feeling that night. its probably a coincidence though.
Yeah, everything makes it seem like it's not a storyline. It's been reported in multiple media outlets, there was a brief story/blurb about it on one of the pages into the sports section of today's local rag.Quote:

If this turned out to be a storyline, why should I believe ANYTHING that the WWE might say in the future regarding something happening to the health of one of their wrestlers or one of the announcers or whoever, when I know they're willing to fake a heart attack for a storyline?
not to mention that several former wwe hall of famers reached out to lawler via twitter to support him. if it was made up, they went to great lengths to make it seem legit. that doesnt seem like wwe's style. they're more into the wtf stories, that make zero sense.
Yep, while I may not have really watched WWE since the mid-2000s, I knew they were still sticking with their wtf stories. This would just be so unlike them. Former hall of famers reaching out on twitter, newspapers and news organizations reporting on the story in their sports sections, that's a hell of a long way to go and a lot of arm twisting (probably) to get them to do that. It's been years since I've seen anything WWE related in the sports of the local rag, not since the Benoit tragedy.Quote:

I have been a Jerry Lawler fan long before he came to the WWE announce booth. His work in the old Mid-South territory was amazing. I think it's safe to say we have seen the last of Lawler in the ring. He has had one heck of a career. I hope he is able to pull through this and lead a normal life.
If it was a work, they pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. Everybody's been reporting it. It was front-page news on Google News, in the Sports section even.
Plus, if this was a work, it would have been something they brought major attention to, with cameras focused on him and everything, and not something that was (relatively) subtle.
The fact that Cole, from what I've read, said nothing to the in-attendance audience just gives me more reason to believe it was completely legit. One fan/journalist who was in attendance compared it to Owen's death, and how there was no information passed to the audience during the show.
Yeah when I saw it in writing, I thought it was a work. When I watched it for myself on Wednesday, I knew it wasn't.
Spoiler: show
Cena tweeted: "Wild night tonight, nuthing to do now but move forward. This is my left ankle. It was rolled early in match," He later added: "Thru all the bumps and bruises, a heartfelt thanks to all those supporting #riseabovecancer thank u."
Night Of Champions was okay. Nothing too spectacular.
