Lawler jobs out the heart attack once again. Good for him.

At first I was like "man, I dunno if this is healthy for Jerry".....then I see he's teaming with 1000 year old Dory Funk, and now Im more worried about Funk then Lawler

I don't think this is wise at all. I wish he'd just hang it up before it kills him.

What the Hell is Dory Jr. thinking!?!
I'm worried as can be for Lawler, but Dory was wrestling Kiniski in his prime!
Seriously, I am have no idea how to process Lawler's stupidity to try & wrestle AT ALL, let alone this soon after his heart attack. I have NOTHING, but respect & admiration for Dory Funk Jr. for still choosing to perform for the love of the game. He is without question one of my all time favorite wrestlers in history.
If I believed in God, I'd pray Jerry backs out for his own good.

The heart attack situation on RAW was scary and Michael Cole's tone throughout the show gave me flashbacks to the Owen Hart tragedy. |

I'm with you guys, I have no idea why he would want to do this (or anyone would want to be there for this), but at the same time, I give him props for being willing to go out there and do it. It's brave. I'm sure he'll be smart about what he does, he isn't going to be running around or anything... I just hope he doesn't have any Sonic or Dominos delivered to the arena before he hops in there  |

The guy had a heart attack and he claims everything is ticking over fine and he is at full health. So why when hes financially sound, got a cosy job with WWE...why put himself in a match with dory funk? I mean, no one....NO ONE wants to see two old men wrestle around on a mat unless you're easily entertained. Flair and Hogan get bashed when they do it (and rightly so) what makes Jerry or Dory or Terry Funk any different. Its pathetic and why anyone would pay money to see it is beyond me. |

He says no and notorious douchebag Billy Graham says yes because some dude said Abdullah gave it to him. The guy didn't say anything until Abdullah was inducted into the Hall of Fame so it makes me question it. And having Billy Graham on your side just hinders your cause. |

Keep in mind that this is a tag match, not like it's a one-on-one encounter. Lawler's become more and more limited over the years anyway. In a tag match, he will probably only wrestle a fraction of that match, and knowing the other guys in the match, they'll probably realise that Lawler's a liability and keep things as safe as possible.

I thought I heard that he had Hepatitis C somewhere, but I figured if he still wrestled with a condition like that he'd be dead. I'd rather take it from the guy himself rather than Billy Graham. |

Devon Nicholson or whatever said that Abdullah gave it to him then for some reason Billy Graham piped in and started parroting Devon's talking points. Actually I do know why Graham did it. It's because he attacks WWE any chance he gets until they pay him to do something then he'll gladly take their money and say kind things about them. He's just like Honky Tonk Man. |

Dorys been retired for 30+ years, should be interesting to say the least.
