Official "Pulling For Jerry Lawler" Thread.

I was around these boards when people thought Eddie's death was fake and he was going to return at Wrestlemania :/

Hell I remember some people talking, thinking that Kevin Sullivan killed Benoit and his family, and framed Benoit, because of the personal history, and because of Sullivan's cult character from his Florida days.

Yeah I didn't know the dead for 20 minutes thing when I first posted in this thread.

That is crazy how people can be brought back to life that long after they are dead.

I really really hope he pulls through.

I don't think we should speculate or start spreading around rumors that aren't true that are going to freak everyone out until we have actual confirmation.

Medically, if your brain is deprived of oxygen for longer than 6 minutes, you're looking at permanent life threatening damage....if the RUMOR of him not breathing for 20 minutes is actually true,...well, let's just say that's NOT good.

Hopefully the rumors are not true and Jerry will be ok.

I dont think it actually shows him passing out. When you hear him breathing deep and snorting the camera is on Titus. By the time the camera swings over you can see Cole bent over looking down in the floor at Lawler. When looking that the desk straight a head, Lawler had recently been sitting on the left side but tonight after the match he was on the right side. Creepy thinking that he could have been on camera having a heart attack though.

If he was dead for 20 minutes, wouldn't his brain be badly damaged? Genuinely asking because I don't know.

I seriously hope not.

I doubt he was dead that long, however if here were dead for any amount of time over a few minutes...I'd imagine severe brain damage.

I found this chart on a medical web site



Let's hope the 20 minute rumor is not true....it would essentially be fatal.

I never saw Over The Edge, so this was my first experience of an event like this. I can honestly say that I felt very odd watching the show continue when I wasn't sure if Lawler was still alive. The lack of commentary on this show was one of the most eerie things that I have ever witnessed on television; Cole breaking character was very surreal. I was distracted, so it didn't register that King wasn't speaking until Cole's initial report. I rewound to the last time I head Lawler speak, his voice grew quiet, and then I heard the wheezing. I have always found sound to have a unique affect, almost moreso than imagery. That wheezing was just horrifying after knowing what had occur. I must say, I found it difficult to stay focused, though the Montreal fans seemed to have little trouble. I don't know what I would have done if I was there, but sitting at home watching on TV I really couldn't get into the storylines. A very odd night indeed.
