[red]To all the WWE fans out there that might have missed it...[/red] As I watched it happened...
"A real life heart attack on-air"
On the September 10, 2012 live edition of Monday Night Raw, Jerry Lawler seriously and truthfully collapsed at the announcers table between the 1 hour - 1:30 hours in the 3 hour time frame while the unlikely tag team of Kane and Daniel Bryan (who are both currently going through "anger management" issues together) competed against The Prime Time Players of Darren Young and Titus O'Neil. Updates were provided during the live broadcast by fellow commentator Michael Cole. By the end of the live broadcast at around 11:15 p.m. EST/8:15 p.m. PST was announced that he had received CPR, but was breathing on his own and reacting to what's going on around himself.
It was later confirmed on WWE.com that Lawler had suffered a mild heart attack.
On the anniversary day of 9/11, he underwent an angioplasty to improve the blood flow to his heart.
On the following day, reports show that Lawler was slowly being eased off sedation and his ventilator was removed. He is able to blink, nod, squeeze with his hands and do other minor things, though the doctors are still awaiting test results to see what the extent of the damage was, if any, to his brain. That same day the results came in with several CT scans showed no signs of brain damage. Which is good to know.
Hope Lawler gets well soon and is able to be like himself come Sept. 17th or Sept. 24th of 2012 on a new live edition of Monday Night Raw as if the heart attack never even happened in the first place.
