Official "Pulling For Jerry Lawler" Thread.

It's obviously worse than what Cole said. Cole sounded extremely worried when he talked about it. At first I thought he just passed out from being too heated after his match, but now I'm much more worried. Come on Jerry, pull through!

Well listen to Cole's voice from when he first gave info, to when he gave the final update. His first update, it sounded like he knew he would be announcing Jerry's death at some point. That last one had hope, and sounded like there was a chance for King at that point to make it through this.

Praying for him. I'm glad that he's stable now, and there seems to be some hope. Wrestling still needs 'The King.'

According to sources, Lawler had flown to Montreal after working weekend independent shots in Aruba, so he had a long day of travel before working TV tonight. Whether that was a factor remains to be seen.

One ringside fan emailed PWInsider.com to report that Lawler sounded as if he began snoring right before he collapsed. Prior to that, he communicated with a ringside employee, possibly to warn them something was wrong. Lawler grabbed his arm and turned "blue-ish" as he fell, signs of a heart attack. Note that WWE has not publicly stated what the situation is beyond that Lawler was receiving CPR.

EMTs were on the scene immediately, as were WWE medical personnel. They immediately ripped Lawler's shirt open and began administering medical assistance. A group of responders lifted Lawler to a stretcher, where he was rushed backstage and worked on before being transported via ambulance to a hospital. The ringside fan who emailed us stated that WWE officials directed the EMTs to get Lawler backstage and away from the crowd.

After Lawler was removed, the WWE ring crew frantically cleaned up the ringside area as it appeared Lawler may have gotten sick before or after he fell.

As you can imagine, the entire roster was pretty shaken up by the situation. Everyone is hopeful for the best, obviously.

From everything you just posted in this report, it does sound like a heart attack. My step dad made the same snoring/snorting noises and turned blue in the face when he had his. He also passed out. In many cases a heart attack victim grabs their left arm and also gets sick before passing out so by all means it does sound like a heart attack. Im no doctor though. I just pray that The King comes though this.

I think that if Lawler stops wrestling, he'll stop commentating. He's said before that he doesn't really care for commentating and he loves it whenever he gets a chance to step in the ring. I feel bad for the guy. Hope he gets better soon!

I think that blaming it on him still being active in the ring is jumping to an unsure conclusion. One thing about heart attacks is that they're very sudden. I've seen cases of of healthy as a horse twenty somethings dying from heart attacks.

Well remember though, you have his age, and he travels a lot with Raw on Mondays and then doing indy shows, plus he still wrestles a normal match. He doesn't have a slower, more protected pace that guys like Abdullah or Terry Funk would employ.

When he gave that first update, and started talking, my first thought is, my God, it's JR announcing Owen's death all over again. The same slow, choked up tone that Ross had that sad May night.
