Dolph Ziggler almost killed Jerry Lawler

[Deleted]

According to the interview Jerry did with Stone Cold on the Steve Austin Show:

- Last year when Jerry had the heart attack, earlier that night he was in a match with Orton against Punk and Dolph. Dolph did his signature elbow drops full force on a downed Jerry.
Lawler suffered the heart attack later in the show. Once he woke up his cardiologist told him that those elbow drops might have very well played a huge part in him suffering from cardic arrest.





Imagine the #HEEL heat if he killed Jerry.

Not a fan of Dolph, but I ain't mad at him.

[Bootista]

More likely his love of Sonic food caused it.

Who could resist that beef hotdog on a premium pretzel bun with melted cheese and bacon here?

I thought this was already fairly well-known? Ziggler stopped doing them immediately afterwards. He's done them rather infrequently since.

Wow that's terrible.

[Brother Nero....Wolfe]

You mean a physically demanding maneuver was hard on the heart of a relatively old man with not entirely healthy eating habits? You don't say.

Yeah Lawler jokes about it on commentary whenever Dolph does it.

But... if you can't take a few elbow drops without almost dying, maybe you shouldn't be wrestling??

[Lupin the Third]

He couldn't finish the job because he's weak!! He went soft on the old man!! That's why he's no longer World Heavyweight Champion, why he had that concussion, and why AJ left him for that Brony Big E. Langston!!!

YOU FAILED, ZIGGLER!!!!

[Next Level was WRONG]

I knew there was a reason I liked Dolph.

Wrestling is made of horrible decisions like this. Hogan's got a spine made of glass, but don't put it past him to use that leg drop of his anyway for a pop sometime down the future (everything in my gut tells me it WILL happen ).

And if Lawler had died, he would've given his blessing to Ziggler using it for heat. I guarantee you.

Last year in Canada, Ziggler nearly kills Lawler in the ring. This year in Canada, AJ "kills" Lawler on commentary. What happens next year? Big E Langston plays "Call of Duty" with Lawler and "kills" him in the game?

Yeah, I could definitely see that...
especially as stated He joked about it when Ziggler has dropped them since.

Maybe Jerry Lawler almost killed Jerry Lawler, between his ridiculous eating habits and his continuing to wrestle well past the point where his body is telling him to stop.

What, is he going to do an indy show next and blame the shmuck that splashes him in a corner, despite the fact that he's continuing to wrestle after coming back from clinical death?

Granted, I don't think Lawler is saying he's mad at Dolph or anything, but I do think Jerry needs to make some changes to his life if he actually intends to live longer. Then again, maybe he just wants to live well, and to hell with good health? It's not that uncommon a stance, really.

Steph: "Big Show, give the King a heart punch!"

(Show begins crying): "Why? No!"

Steph: "You're going to die Show, you have no money, it's either you or him."

We can only hope. For that would be the greatest night in the history in our business.
