Well unfortunately the night Lawler had the heart attack, the thought of it being a work crossed my mind, and I'm pretty sure many other people's minds too. That's just how wrestling is. With what we know about it, almost anything can look like a work now. |

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
I can sum up this skit with 2 terms "poor taste" & "cheap heat"
It will probably go down as one of the worst moments of Raw of all time, Vince showed he's incredibly out of touch by OK'ing that.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
I'm willing to bet this was all Jerry Lawler's idea to begin with.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
It played out more like an inside joke. Jerry did come back awfully fast. But perhaps it'd have been best left off the airwaves.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
Crossing which line??? I am sure, that Vince and also Lawler knew about that angle.
Sure, some people are wondering and complaining about that angle, But: this makes WWE interesting - because we're not used to such angles in the post-Attidure-era.

Wouldnt suprise me at all. He is probably already pushing for a in ring return to Vince. |

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
I too thought that the promo video with close-up film material from King's heart attack was a bit tasteless.
Then again, I felt that Punk's & Heyman's rude heel promo was not too much but also that it wasn't a total success since not enough heat was given. Realize that people are what they are but nevertheless I was a little disturbed the way many guys in the audience were actually cheering to Punk & Heyman.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
I'm only half an hour into RAW atm but tbh, I can't wait to see this promo.
From what it looks like, it is just edgey TV and they will of 100% had Jerry's permission.
It's just a way to get Punk over as a heel more anyway so they're doing what they need to do. Not like taking the piss out of medical conditions hasn't been used before...

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
It's pretty close too bad taste. But most of all, they didn't do it very funny.
