WWE legend Jerry "The King" Lawler reportedly brain dead after suffering heart attack live on the air
411mania.com: Wrestling - UPDATEx14: Jerry Lawler Reportedly Collapses at Commentary on Raw
I figured that "other sports" can correlate to "wrestling", but if this is not the right place, then please move it. Longtime WWE wrestler and commentator Jerry "The King" Lawler is reportedly brain dead after suffering a heart attack live on the air during Monday Night Raw, in Montreal Canada. Jerry, 62, wrestled earlier in the night, and seemed fine at commentary along side Michael Cole. I was watching the show live and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary except for Lawler's voice got quieter and then he went totally silent. During the next match, fans began to look over at the announce table and even the wrestlers kept looking to the outside of the ring. Jerry was bent over in his chair and appeared to be coughing, before falling onto the floor. It was reported by ringside fans that Lawler had turned totally blue while EMT's rushed over and started working on him. One of the wrestlers said later in the night that Jerry had been clinically dead for over 20 minutes before being revived with defibulator paddles. The latest update has him in the hospital on a ventilator. He has not spoken or shown any signs of movement since the heart attack. Various wrestling message boards and websites are stating that an un-named source, most likely a WWE official or WWE wrestler, is stating that Lawler was declared Brain-dead last night. They said he initially responded to lights and such, but it is unclear if he slipped into a vegetative state later in the early morning. Very sad, I've watched wrestling my whole life and have watched and heard "The King" for every Monday night for most of my life. Prayers go out to him now, and I hope it's not true that he's really brain-dead.
