Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
Let me just clear it up for you. King didn't die of a heart attack, he actually survived it. Infact he even took part in the promo. It was fucking awesome.

I bet you're right. Since it's Punk and Heyman, who are "cool" and "edgy", people want to be like them. "Look, I'm not offended! I'm cool! I'm edgy", I swear that's what some of these people are thinking. In reality these people are just sad. Sad, sad people.
Step outside of your wrestling fan mindset and see this for what it really is.

Disgusting. Truly Disgusting.

Replace "kid" with "father" and you see how we got Big Boss Man driving a casket around a cemetary |

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
That vignette exploiting Lawler's heart attack was more tasteless imo.
I know this may make me sound like an insensitive douche.. But I thought the promo was entertaining
This whole thing was approved by Lawler himself, so there's no point in getting all up in arms about it.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
I don't know if they crossed the line, but they certainly put their toes right up to.
I hope they cleared that with Lawler in advance.

and it should remain that way, the whole "pro wrestling" and WWE were never a legitimate sport to begin with |

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack
Well, Jerry Lawler approved this shit so I don't think they've "crossed the line". This was a typical Attitude Era-esque segment. They did lots of sick shit back then. Just think of Big Show's father funeral scene. Or, more recently in 2005, when they used Eddie Guerrero's death in a storyline with Mysterio. I feel those moments were worse.
Tonight, Jerry agreed to be part of that segment. Let's keep that in mind.
