I have to say. All of you who didn't watch the live broadcast and there seems to be a lot of you. Consider yourself lucky. The last hour and a half was so difficult to watch. I couldn't payy any attention to the in ring activities as all I wanted was some good news. I had the worst feeling the whole time and it was almost the exact feeling I had when watching the EG and CB tribbute shows. I really continue to hope for his full recovery and no permanant damage. We need the King back.

After Cole made that announcement, they went to commercial, and then came back with a Sheamus match with NO COMMENTARY.....total freakout moment. |

That last hour of Raw was definitely some of the most uncomfortable TV I've ever watched. You could feel the energy get sucked right out of the arena and the broadcast.

- According to friends of Jerry Lawler’s family, Lawler had three stints put in Monday night following a heart attack. Lawler still has not spoken since passing out during Raw.

It was the worst feeling ever. It was a very uncomfortable Raw. |

- F4WOnline.com published a report clarifying rumors of WWE’s handling of Monday’s Raw show after broadcaster and wrestler Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack while commentating. According to a WWE employee backstage at the event, it was a very chaotic scene but he did not see any pray groups. Contrary to speculation, there was never any talk of halting the show. WWE chief Vince McMahon was not at Lawler’s side during the entire ordeal, as reported. He briefly checked on the backstage commotion during a commercial break before resuming his producing duties at Gorilla Position. Rather, Paul “Triple H” Levesque directed orders backstage. All of broadcaster Michael Cole’s on-air verbiage concerning Lawler was directed by McMahon word-for-word. So, one of Vince's longest-tenured employees nearly drops dead of a heart attack and all he did was briefly check in on him without giving any thought of stopping the show? Classy move, Vince. |

WWE has never stopped a show. Jerry was not dead. Just a heart attack. Do you stop the show and give everyone there money back, or go on with the last half hour? The fans seemed really into it still. It really was not that big of a deal unless Jerry would have passed on right there. People get hurt all the time in the business and the show goes on. I knew Jerry would be ok. Thankfully. |

WWE has never stopped a show. Jerry was not dead. Just a heart attack. Do you stop the show and give everyone there money back, or go on with the last half hour? The fans seemed really into it still. It really was not that big of a deal unless Jerry would have passed on right there. People get hurt all the time in the business and the show goes on. I knew Jerry would be ok. Thankfully. Where to begin here... First of all, there wasn't a half hour left of the show. There was at least an hour left I distinctly remember. But yeah...let's say they ended the show and offered refunds to everybody or free tickets to a future event. Would that really be such a catastrophic thing that would cripple the WWE's business? Secondly, there's a difference between someone falling on their head like Austin at SummerSlam 97 and a man having a heart attack at ringside. If it was an injury like a broken bone or something that occurred in the ring then, yeah, I wouldn't stop the show. This was a different situation, though. A heart attack or a guy falling from the rafters like Owen are exceptions to the "the show must go on" ritual. Sorry, but that's how I feel. Your argument is basically, "Well, Lawler didn't die, so why stop the show?" Well, Owen Hart DID die and they didn't stop the show, so where's your defense in that? And finally, if you're gonna sit there and tell me the fans, wrestlers and Michael Cole were not clearly shaken up drastically throughout the rest of the show then you're insane. Compare the reaction Bret Hart got when he came out to start off the show versus when he came out for the final segment and tell me there wasn't a difference. The crowd was confused and unsure how to act the rest of the night. BTW, just because Lawler didn't die right there on the spot doesn't mean he's fine. He still has an uphill battle, he's not out of the woods yet. |

Freak events happen like this. But the show does not revolve around Jerry Lawler, and he would be the first to know this. It is unfortunate this happened, but it is Vince's responsibility to keep the show running- he properly delegated the task of aiding Jerry to Triple H. Just because Vince is "the boss" doesn't mean he needs to attend to everything that pops up. Vince checked in on the situation and reacted accordingly. I don't see anything wrong with what he did. And realistically, what could he have done? This is why there is always a medical team on duty at each show and they did their job. I'm sure Vince spent a lot of his attention after Raw went off air to Lawler. |

It was the worst feeling ever. It was a very uncomfortable Raw. Yeah I had a very similiar anxiety attack type thing going on. I just felt really sick and worried. It was mostly in part to the silence. The fact that Cole couldn't even talk and then when he did start to make an announcement it seemed almost inevitable that things took a turn for the worst. I was tearing up, shaking just pain scared. |

Christhegreat No, Jerry Lawler. Very true point Thug Superstar. I think at worse it would have just put WWE on bad terms with Lawler and his family for not taking things that serious. Just think Lawler could have ended up being the next Benoit, Owen Hart toward WWE of merchandising. That would be so weird to think. I was a little scared last night. Thinking I been watching him since the early 90's, wrestling just would not be the same with out Lawler  Does anyone think he will be back at all this year to commentate after this even? |

The nerve of that guy! well, in all fairness, you were essentially insinuating racism upon new jack with your comment, and it should come to no surprise that you were given a warning bar. it wasn't acceptable. and yes, only you and admins can see your warning bar. |
