U know me ... Tinfoilhat wearer but i could see a stunt like this by mcmahon to detract from an event that bret hart participates in

With Bret's health issues, I'm surprised (but also glad) he's not the one receiving medical attention...

I remember a lot of people thought Owen Hart was part of the act at 1st. Then some really dumb people still thought it was an angle for several weeks.

Didn't see this but hopefully Jerry Lawler is okay.

And just like Owen Hart, julian, the WWE show continued tonight...I don't think the adage of "the show must go on" applies when there is a medical emergency.

It just all seemed contrived ... Esp the michael cole announcement about what happened during the show ... Idk ... Almost expected jr to jump in and yell "dear god no"

And thats why alot of peeps thought owen hart was part of the act the night he died ... Anyone who thought it was still an angle weeks after he died needs help

Like I said earlier, if this was staged, well nice job WWE, you got me good. I just hope Jerry receives adequate medical care in "Bizarro-land"...

I still haven't seen a video of the incident but it's looking pretty legit.

This doesn't actually show him collpasing. It just shows Michael Cole's commentary after the fact.

The whole "This is not part of tonight's entertainment." thing is what really makes me think this is for real. I remember JR saying pretty much the exact same thing the night Owen Hart died.

Basically what they are saying is "Look we don't blame some of you for being skeptics considering everything we do is an act but even we have limits and aren't that sick to stage something like this."

The reason I don't think this is fake is because the WWE would have to be extremely sick to make this up for ratings. They don't need to do so because their ratings are good as it is. I hope Jerry Lawler fully recovers & is okay.
