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...

Just seen the skit, I think they were making an inside joke at the fact that WWE filmed all those bullshit CPR scenes not taking the piss out of Jerry.. Just my opinion on it...

- The talk about Paul Heyman and CM Punk mocking Jerry Lawler's heart attack on RAW continues on Twitter with several wrestlers weighing in such as Steve Austin and Chris Jericho. The Baltimore Sun's Arda Ocal spoke with some Superstars and got their reactions:
Steve Austin: "I believe in pushing the envelope in an aggressive fashion. But when a guy damn near dies at ringside, let it go. You look at all the contributions Jerry Lawler has made in this business: from a work standpoint, a promo standpoint and then as a broadcaster. I think that's pushing the envelope in the wrong direction. There's better ways to go get real heat than that."
Chris Jericho: "I think it was pretty obvious, don’t you? I kind of expected it. Punk’s promo was awesome. It’s wrestling so you knew it would end up as an angle sooner or later. I got the same complaints when I did the alcoholic angle (earlier this year with CM Punk). It would be like being mad at "Breaking Bad" because the dad was a drug addict or something. It’s just a TV show, after all."
Lance Storm: "Thought it was poor. Both he and Punk are capable to get real heat, no need to sink so low. Also thought it was out of character for Punk so it hurt. Punk is about Best in World and himself. Why bother joking about heart attack it goes nowhere. Interuption was okay and in character. Fake heart attack was cheap and pointless."

Why do we give a fuck what Austin/Storm think, exactly?

So saith Lance Storm!
Why would the opinion of two respected veterans change the way people view this situation? |

Yes and yes. I swear I heard Cactus Jack. I was ready for Jovial Mick.
The other thing that I thought made it really good was the fact that what had happened to King was actually real, and people had real feelings about it. Punk was mocking a man who had nearly died and telling him it was all his fault. I don't think you can generate a situation like that in a storyline.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that it was Paul Heyman who pitched the whole thing. It seems like his sort of deal.
