Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

Re: Professional Wrestling Thread: Sign It Before The Stock Plummets Some More

I've been preaching that I don't like "realistic" injury works in the ring (throwing the X, paramedics, Owen voices, etc.) Last night is exactly the reason why.

There's the rub. I remember them cleanly dropping the storyline involving one of the Killer B's back in the day after the guy died. But they've done some really tasteless/bad stuff in the past.

Killer Bees? Jim Brunzell & Brian Blair are both still alive.

I can't even imagine how Cole felt that whole time having to sit there by himself.

Fox Sports is reporting that "The King" suffered either a heart attack or stroke. I'm about to go watch the show...but I'm not really looking forward to it. Jerry's been a huge part of every Monday night for me over the last 20 years. Hope he's OK.

So was this on camera or was this something that they were able to cut away from for the most part? I can't find any YouTube video of the incident... Just reaction and commentary from fans... I'm curious as to what TV viewers actually saw....

Glad (in a way) I keep tabs on this thread, even though I haven't watched WWE in years. The King is awesome. A legend.

True, but if they where going to be that dumb, they would have waited til the end of the show to have him fake a heart attack.

I would think after the Owen Hart incident, Vince and company would be smart enough to have a guy just keeling over being a part of the storyline.

I feel like a real jerk for thinking this was a work. Ugh. Hope he's OK.

Lawler is in stable condition.

Jerry Lawler went into convulsions and was just carried away from the announcers' table. Possible heart attack. Not part of show.

Lawler at the hospital. He is alive and breathing on his own. Cardiac arrest.

Cole can barely speak. This is not good.

ETA: Commentary has stopped.
