Punk & Heyman mocking King's heart attack

I'm speechless. I wanted the product to get edgier, but this? This is plain disrespectful, not entertaining, and a complete lack of sanity.

I can't help it but think this is a jab at Linda for losing somehow, so she can never run for senate again. Absolutely despising.

Does anyone actually think this is acceptable?

I wonder if they are going to continue with the "BA★" campaign after this nonsense.​

Did WWE cross the line with Jerry Lawler tonight?

edit: I did have an undecided option when I started this poll last night, I don't know what happened to it.

They are playing it very close to the line. I can't help but think they wouldn't have done this whilst Linda was campaigning, they made the decision about when Jerry was returning 2 weeks after his heart attack back in September. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it isn't.

The way they did that tonight didn't progress CM Punk's respect storyline further than they could with other easier alternatives. The purpose of that was shock value and trying to get CM Punk over as a heel in the worst possible way.

My take on that was it was very, very cheap heat.

Re: What the actual fuck WWE? Mocking someone who had an heart attack? Really?

WE WANT EDGY TV.

omg this is so distasteful :( :( :(

He's alive and well ffs. Man up.
This.

King even said when the ambulance was backing up into the arena "Oh look my ride is here" because he's okay and happy to be alive.

People need to understand that King is fine with this being put into the angle. If you feel offended then you must think wrestling is still real to you... dammit.

No. The fact that so many people are saying it was disgusting etc is a tribute to how good it was. People want the product to get edgier then complain when something very edgy happens, calling it disrespectful and in bad taste. He's alive, he's fine, it's not real, he's obviously agreed to it, probably even suggested they use it in an angle himself.

This.Some of you need to stop being pussies no offense.King is alive,probably gave the segment the go-ahead and is getting paid handsomely to do crappy commentary on top of it.So who cares really.

Re: Did WWE cross the line with Jerry Lawler tonight?

Yeah. Its too soon to make fun of heart attacks. What really took it over the line was the "beat you to death" line Punk did, incredibly poor taste....

....With that said I LoL'd at the whole segment, it was mean beyond words. I'm sure they wouldn't have done it w/o Jerry being okay but Vince has gotta set some boundaries B, this was a new low.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

It was disrespectful and wrong to do so soon, but Jerry would have agreed to it so fair game imo.

I found it rather amusing. Obviously if they had done it without his permission my opinion would be different.

It's just really really really cheap heat, WWE have proven time and time again in the past they are perfectly happy to use it.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

If King agreed to it, why are you getting mad for him?

He's a big boy. I'm glad he survived and that he's back, but the segment was money.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

Merged the three threads into one.

The fact that people are defending this is disgusting. Then again, wrestling is trashy. And fuck, Vince McMahon is one sick dude. The same guy that exploited Eddie's death, had satanic sacrifices performed on TV, and practiced necrophilia.....he has no boundaries.

Yet you're still watching the product. So why bitch about it now?

Sure, I found it as "wow that's fucked up," but obviously they signed off on it. Was an excellent way to get heat.

Can defiantly tell the election is over though.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

thought they went overboard with heyman faking the heart attack.
Yeah, alot of people on WWE's FB page are complaining about that part the most. When Punk gave him "CPR". Saw a post from a guy who said it reminded him of his grandfather getting CPR after a heart attack...except he didn't live. Really shitty segment, not only that, the crowd didn't care for the most part. So so much for that "heat" on Punk

I hope they don't, the whole thing screams hypocrite at the WWE, it's finally time WWE and vince mcmahon has the balls to push boundaries, thank god that hag linda lost, we would've never gotten that golden segment :lmao

exactly this^, Jerry lawler green lighted all of this, so there wasn't any malice involve, do you people think they would've done the segment if Jerry Lawler didn't want to?, it's a story line, the whole thing it's fake

it's still Soooo real for a bunch of you dammit that you deserve brock lesnar to go your houses and punch you silly

he has no boundaries.
he shouldn't, if he did in the first place we wouldn't have had Attitude era and WWE would've cease to exist

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

Are ppl upset at Punk, Lawler, Mick for agreeing to this or the writing team. I just dont get that if you didnt hate the segment that ur sick? Aside from Heyman faking the heart attack I think all 3 men(Punk,Foley and Lawler) all played their parts well.

Its just amazing how u can be labled sick for not hating it like some of u guys did. I never wanted Punk to interrupt but he did and it was a decent lil segment.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

That was a good promo one of the best in a long time. They did cross the line though. You cant blame CM Punk, you have to blame the WWE writers. Lawler would have to agree to this promo in the first place

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

For what it's worth, I thought the heel Orton/Batista mentions of Eddie's death were unnecessary and Kid Kash's comments about Owen Hart the other night were disgusting and if he isn't fired for that then just shows how much of a fucking joke TNA is. If people in that company actually okayed Kid Kash to say that then I hope Martha sues them for it.

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

Honestly, I would have to say... HELL YES!!! The guy had a major ass legit heart attack! It took them 15 minutes to just get him out of the arena to get him stable enough to get him in the ambulance! This was just going too far!

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

By the way, are we all forgetting them making us relive Lawler's heart attack? Made it look like it was a wrestling angle

Re: Punk & Heyman mocking King for his heart attack

I'm not watching but they actually did this? Is Punk's crowd reaction so dead that they have to resort to this?
Except his crowd reactions are never dead to begin with, and you'd have to be a blind Punk hater to belie- oh, right.

People do know Lawler himself agreed to this? Yes, it was crossing the line but what do I care, it was entertaining as fuck.
