I found that through a general interest forum I'm on. A member of the crowd took video of Lawler collapsing and the immediate aftermath. Hard to watch.
Just thinking about the whole situation again, thank god Orton won that poll to face Punk and not Lawler 1on1 otherwise it could have potentially been alot worse if that's even possible.
Lawler's workload for years has been pretty hectic and I bet these 3 hour Raws may have been more stressful with him being apart of the actual show as well as commentating. I think WWE handled it well. Some can say they should have ended the show but Mr. McMahon lives by the motto "the show must go on." Drastic maybe.
I could go back and see all the sympathy in this thread and compare it to all the hate Lawler has gotten lately TO GET THE FUCK OF TV but I think I'll refrain. It's a somber hour after all.
I have to be honest, I was surprised that the commentary was cut off half way through the show. WWE would have got no complaints had they of just cancelled the show halfway through and gave everyone their money back. At the end of the day most people in the crowd were not interested in the in-ring action and I as I'm sure many people did completely switched off after the incident mainly in the hope we were not going to be told again that another legend had died. It was interesting to note that apparently Vince McMahon was at Lawler's side throughout backstage.

Yeah ummmm speak for yourself because I was still very interested in the show afterwards and would've been fucking pissed if it cancelled. Seriously, who appointed you to speak on behalf of Montreal? People definitely wanted to know what was going on with Jerry, but that's doesn't mean we wanted to go home. Maybe you just weren't paying attention during the last segment when the crowd was completely pulled into that Cena/Bret/Punk confrontation.I have to be honest, I was surprised that the commentary was cut off half way through the show.

wrestling-edge.com said:Former WWE Diva Stacy Carter (“The Kat” and “Miss Kitty”), the ex-wife of Jerry Lawler, says the King is being taken out of sedation and is now responsive after undergoing more heart procedures on Tuesday.
There is now fear that Lawler might have suffered brain damage during RAW after suffering a heart attack, when his brain was deprived of oxygen for several minutes.
Carter released this statement on Facebook:
“I have an update on Jerry. The docs are removing his ventilation & taking him out of sedation. He is responsive, which is great!!! It took a while to revive him last night so there’s the concern of brain damage. He had some tests done which will show how much if any damage there is due to the lack of oxygen to his brain. Unfortunately, the results won’t be in until in the morning. I appreciate all the calls, texts, tweets, & Facebook messages of support & I know Jerry will too. Thanks everybody!!”
