WWE broadcast Jerry Lawler collapses at RAW, rushed to hospital

Fans tuning in to last night’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW got an unexpected (and unwanted) twist when legendary broadcaster/wrestler Jerry “The King” Lawler passed out at the announce booth and was stretchered backstage for medical treatment. The situation unfolded over the final hour of a RAW Lawler had wrestled on earlier in the evening with updates being issued by an understandably distraught Michael Cole.

Lawler was said to have received CPR before being transported to a Montreal hospital. Later reports gave promising news, saying the WWE Hall of Famer had stabilized and would be undergoing a CT Scan of his head/chest.

“My dear friend will fight. Please pray for him. We’re all hurting,” wrote longtime broadcast teammate Jim Ross on Twitter.

Despite the gut-wrenching news, the show rolled on though in a classy move WWE opted to refrain from commentary throughout the remainder of the episode as a show of respect for Lawler.

Fighters.com will update the story as it continues to unfold.

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or
    copyright violation? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate
    it.
