Jerry Jarrett upset with Lawler segment.

[Crayo]

- Jerry Jarrett, Jerry Lawler’s former business partner, took offense to WWE using the legendary grappler’s near-fatal heart attack as a “cheap heat” angle on Raw Monday.

Nine weeks following the ordeal, a tearful Lawler offered his gratitude for the amount of support he received. The WWE Hall of Famer was then interrupted by CM Punk, who continued their on-screen rivalry by mocking him. The segment included a crass imitation of a heart attack, courtesy of Paul Heyman.

“I watched WWE last night. Jerry Lawler was returning after surviving a life threatening heart attack. I sat watching the television with a feeling of pride that they were honoring the return of such a great wrestler. I sat thinking, “now this is real class”. Just when I was appreciating the class WWE was showing, it ended suddenly with a juvenile cheap heat angle,” wrote Jarrett on Facebook.

“I turned the television off and starting thinking about Linda McMahon’s hard work and great expense running for the Senate. It is exactly this kind of programming that prevented her from becoming a Senator. Wrestling should have some limits and boundaries. If you offend great portions of the audience, it is a bad angle.”

Put a sock in it, since when does wrestling need to tone down because of outside political campaigns?

Honestly, I didn't like the segment either. I didn't turn the channel though. It was a great raw, that was the only downfall of the night.

I have a huge respect for Jerry Jarrett, but I need to see this.

I agree with you Crayo. Even though it was pretty cheap, I mean, it's Paul Heyman. Plus, I was probably more upset about that Punk stunt that Jarret dude because the night that Raw where Jerry had the heart attack, my dad had a stroke. (He's okay now though, he's currently getting physical therapy in a rehabilitation center.) So, I mean... if I can take a joke...

Plus, he should watch ECW. :dawg:

I guess Jarrett's more of an old school guy, in those days a heel hitting the face with a sack of quarters was an angle that went on for months and everyone thought how despicable the heel was and stuff. He's entitled to his opinion.

Does he know that Jerry Lawler had agreed to do this?...
