I was venting a bit in regards to New Jack's comments. 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. What was said anyway? |

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? Let's just hope we can get Jerry back to a lifestyle worth living before we worry about Jerry getting back to ringside. Get well King! |

I'm all for showing respect for Jerry Lawler but 15 pages to this thread already? A bit excessive.

According to his ex wife The Kat he hasn't had any surgery and WWE hasn't said anything about him having surgery. Pulled this from Kat's twitter "Just got a @jerrylawler update. He had a stint & a balloon put in. Right now he is still heavily sedated. Will update when I know more" So it does look like he had surgery Well at the time I posted she had said she didn't know where the information on him having surgery coming from that everyone was reporting. |

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. You haven't the first idea about running a worldwide production LIVE.... You just sound like an idiot. There were people there to take care of Jerry. Get well "King". |

If people on here want to express their concerns about a guy they have watched for decades suddenly nearly die before our eyes no matter how long this thread goes on how can you honesty say its excessive? |

You never truly realize how much a wrestler/superstar/commentator means to you until something like this happens. Wrestlers, well-known backstage people, fans - - We're all one big community. And when one of us falls, it hurts that entire community. Each and every one of us sat there and watched with concern on our faces and a sadness in our hearts all the same.

He asked what was said, and I answered in the best way I thought I could. Do you really have to act like that in this of all threads? |

You're really worried about page count when a big wrestling legend nearly dies... I recall a 100+ page thread about whether or not DBry was actually fired. Come now. Anyways, I'm glad to hear the good news so far about King. I'm hoping for more as time goes on. Still praying for him. |

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. 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. The show is ment for entertainment, how can anyone enjoy the show knowing Jerry Lawler might have died right in front of their eyes, unless youre a sociopath. The crowd was completely out of it after Jerry collapsed and I couldnt watch much after that happened just because the matches seems so trivial knowing someone that has been apart of the show so long may have died right there and then. |

Why don't you give me a lesson on how a live show is supposed to be run when someone nearly dies on the spot? Well...lets just say ill side with Vince McMahon. He has experience backing him...you have a keyboard and access to the internet. Now lets turn the focus back to Jerry instead of this silly immature bitching. |

Think about it, Jerry himself would want the show to finish and just not stop halfway.
Either way, I hope everything is going to be ok and he should slow down a bit on the shows/events.
