I didn’t watch all of RAW last night, just the final half of it, but when I switched the TV to RAW, I was seeing Michael Cole announcing that Jerry “The King” Lawler collapsed from the announcer chair to the floor while commentating during a wrestling match. Michael Cole claimed it wasn’t part of a storyline that it’s a real life situation, ’cause it’s hard to believe what you see on WWE TV these days. Turns out that Jerry Lawler suffering heart attack on the RAW show last night in Montreal was real.
I hope Jerry pulls through and survives. If he dies, this would be a tragic loss in the wrestling community. He has always been important to us. He’s a true wrestling legend, indeed. While most wrestling legends retired and moved on, Jerry, never did, he kept working. He may have to retire now after this though, if he survives.
Lawler was in the middle of an on TV feud with CM Punk too.
Get well soon, Jerry. I’m praying for him and you should too.
While it is upsetting about Jerry, I was even more disappointed with the terrible RAW crowd last night. There was NOT one chant for Jerry Lawler last night. Instead, those fuckin’ Canadians chanted for Bret Hart all night. If last night’s RAW was in the United States, I’m pretty sure we’ll all be chanting for Jerry, but what do you expect in Canada?

How can you know that the crowd were not chanting Jerry’s name when you state that you missed the first half ? The incident happened during the Kane/Bryan vs Prime Time Players match, and the crowd chanted for Jerry. Get your facts right.
I was referring the ending of RAW, maybe I should have been more clear.

Yes, they did chant Jerry a little bit but not enough, those Canadians.

i don’t think the arena crowd actually see Cole’s broadcasts like the home viewers, so may have not been fully aware. But as the show continued they are going to focus more on what goes on in the ring. After all it’s what they have paid to see.
And they’re wrestling fans. You really expect them to be able to focus on something for more than about eight seconds?
Well, when a tragic incident happens on a show, an audience needs to show respect. The crowd usually do show respect to a superstar when something happens or someone dies, it’s just that the Canadian crowd. Seemed like they didn’t care. I’m willing to bet that the new and younger fans in Canada, didn’t even know who Jerry Lawler was. That’s why they didn’t chant his name much. Like I said before in this post, if last night’s RAW was in the United States instead, we would be chanting “Jerry”, the whole night.
