Jerry Lawler Suffers Heart Attack *UPDATES in OP*

[Deleted]

I know we usually wait post-raw, but according to Arda Ocal, who is at the show

Something is going on with Jerry Lawler right now at the commentary table... It looks like he collapsed. Not part of show.

He is being carried away by personnel to the backstage area. He appeared unconscious as he was being carried.

I sincerely hope Jerry is OK. When I looked over he was hunched over convulsing in his seat and collapsed, then multiple ppl carried him out

LAWLER MEDICAL EMERGENCY: UPDATED 10:55 PM
by Mike Johnson @ 10:16 PM on 9/10/2012

Michael Cole announced that Jerry Lawler was being given CPR backstage and his medical issue was "not part of tonight's entertainment."

Lawler was rushed to a local hospital as quickly as EMTs could move him. 7-10 EMTs and WWE staffers rushed an unconscious Lawler out of the Arena after he collapsed while calling a tag bout during Raw.

At 10:40 PM, Michael Cole announced that Lawler was breathing on his own and was being treated at a local Montreal hospital. Cole did not give further information on Lawler's condition, noting that he was receiving oxygen but could breath on his own. Cole then announced that WWE would not continue to provide commentary out of respect for Lawler. He hoped they would give an update before the show went off the air tonight.

At 10:55 PM, Michael Cole returned to the air to note that they have been given a report which he "hoped was encouraging" that Lawler was more responsive and was reacting to stimuli. He was waiting to get a CT Scan done and has been placed in an "isolated emergency room."

Obviously, we wish Lawler nothing but the best and we ask that everyone keep him in your thoughts this evening.

We will update as we know more.

Edit: Jerry is now stabilized, and his heart is beating on its own. He is now awaiting a CT Scan for his head and chest.


Edit: Arda Ocal ‏@arda_ocal
I'm hearing from multiple sources backstage at RAW that EMTs saved Lawler's life before going to Hospital. Confirmed to be a Heart Attack.

UPDATE x10: Jerry Lawler is expected to undergo a minor procedure today, where he will have a stent placed in his heart. The procedure will be done as soon as he is physically able to go through it. Lawler's girlfriend is flying to Montreal this morning to be with him.

(WMC-TV) - Friends, family, and fans have been on pins and needles awaiting Jerry "The King" Lawler's CT scan results. According to Joe Cooper, who is Lawler's best friend and business partner, the results are in. And Cooper says Lawler does not have brain damage as a result of his heart attack Monday night.
.

Jerry "The King" Lawler is making tremendous progress after suffering a heart attack earlier this week ... and is now awake, alert and responsive ... this according to Lawler's son.

TMZ spoke with Kevin Lawler ... who tells us, "[Jerry] is hooked up to tubes and is still not able to speak … but he's writing stuff on a notepad to talk to people."

"Not just brief notes, but detailed stories which show he knows where he is and what is going on.”

Kevin says the family was concerned about brain damage because Jerry wasn't breathing for several minutes after suffering the heart attack ... but doctors say so far, it appears Lawler's brain is fine.

As we previously reported, 62-year-old Lawler suffered the heart attack on live TV on Sept. 10 during a taping of "Monday Night Raw" in Montreal.

...Jesus. I hope he is okay.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

For all we rag on his commentary, I highly doubt that people want to see the man fall ill. Let's hope he's OK.

[Rican]

That's really scary. I hope he's ok.

[PKO]

Oh god, that doesn't sound good.

Hope King is okay.

[Dave the Dave]

It seems scary. Hope he's okay

[whiskers]

I hope that he's going to be fine, too.

[lewis1711]

Maybe he shouldn't be working in the ring anymore?

[Slanted and Enchanted]

Damn. My prayers go to Jerry. I hope he is alright.

[rnrk supports BLM]

Very worried. Hoping for the best.

Will Cole bring this real life situation to the audience after the break?

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}Michael Cole is still alone at the broadcast table. I'm trying to get more information.

[mizerable]

I just heard about this from someone, but I gotta reiterate what I said before. You can't have 60 year old guys in the ring, way too big of a chance. Seriously, I hope he's okay.

[dlg3000]

I hope he recovers.

[Krimzon]

Praying super hard right now. Don't have a good feeling about this at all.

From a Montreal radio guy:

@tonystarkradio: Jerry Lawler carried out by at least 7-10 guys and immediately taken onto stretcher...shirt ripped open...thoughts and prayers

@tonystarkradio: Lawler was talking to a wwe staff members moments before collapsing...the staff acted quickly and had him out of the building within 60 secs

@tonystarkradio: Just heard from source backstage...Jerry Lawler passed out backstage...Vince McMahon with him...EMT's working on him

[Yami Daimao]

I don't like him professionally, but I hope he recovers.

Maybe now is a good time to take a long leave of absence.

[mizerable]

The fact that they're not giving any details while continuing the show is really f***ed up, IMO.
