lol
sad note for me....velvet sky was granted a release from impact.![]()
I was watching a re-run on monday night raw just now and degeneration X (1000 episode thing) was on makes me think how far wrestling has fallen even now they were more entertaining than what goes on with the guys who are still on every week (which is probably why I don't watch every week)
Wrestling just feels lame to me most of the time like they are trying to hard or something I can't put my finger on it.
as quickly as brock lesner came, he leaves
no. i know he's gonna make a surprise return at some point. i just think its stupid that they made such a big deal about his return, yet havent done anything with him. he'll probably be back at hell in a cell or survivor series....maybe hold off long enough til the rumble.
Saw a bit on ESPNU this morning re: Scott Hall and how his life is basically in shambles due to his drug/alcohol abuse problems.
I haven't watched wrestling in years, but this just caught my eye on Facebook, posted by Deadspin at 10:36pm. I just turned on USA, there is no commentary anymore for the rest of the night, just the matches going on.

Jerry Lawler Collapses During Live Raw; Has CPR Performed As Michael Cole Informs Viewers “This Is Not Part Of The Show”
Timothy Burke
WWE's Raw has gone silent in Montreal tonight as wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler collapsed at the announcer's desk and immediately received CPR during tonight's live airing of the program.
The show's currently airing without commentary as host Michael Cole informed viewers of Lawler's condition and assured them that it was "not part of the show."
Spectators at the event can be seen in the above video completely ignoring the action in the ring and focusing on the medical attention being given to Lawler on the right side of the screen.
Cole attempted to continue with the commentary before apparently being pulled off the broadcast. The Montreal crowd, meanwhile, is chanting Lawler's name. We'll update this post as we learn for information. [USA]

During the tag team match between Kane & Daniel Bryan and The Prime Time Players tonight on Raw, viewers may have noticed members of the audience and WWE production team staring toward the commentary booth, as well as the absence of Jerry “The King” Lawler’s voice. WWE.com has learned that the WWE Hall of Famer collapsed at the announcers' table and was tended to in the locker room area by WWE medical staff. Lawler was then taken from the arena to a medical facility in Montreal.
We will have updates on Lawler’s condition as this story progresses.
UPDATE: Here is the full text of Michael Cole's address to the WWE Universe.
"I’m sure you’ve noticed Jerry Lawler hasn’t been active in the past couple of matches. A little bit earlier tonight, Jerry passed out here at ringside. Jerry collapsed and was helped to the back. He was stretchered to the back to the locker room area. We understand now that Jerry is receiving medical attention as we speak. They are performing CPR. This is not part of tonight’s entertainment. This has happened. Again, Jerry Lawler collapsed at ringside tonight and they are performing CPR as we speak in the locker room area and we will have more information as Raw rolls on tonight."
UPDATE: Michael Cole addressed the WWE Universe again and informed the audience that Lawler is breathing on his own but that the situation is "serious." Out of respect to "The King," there will be no further commentary on the show this evening.
