Dave Meltzer and Jim Ross' Official Twitter...

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler suffered an undisclosed injury during the Raw angle with Mark Henry. "I'm with The King and (he's) hurting," Jim Ross wrote on his Twitter page. "Announce table unforgiving. Not sure how he's going to be. Jerry's hurting for real." Follow Ross on Twitter at Twitter.com/JRsBBQ.

Powell's POV: I assume this is legit based on the last sentence, as Ross usually doesn't play up injury angles on his website or Twitter account. Either way, while I enjoyed the angle, WWE officials have to start asking themselves some serious questions about using aging wrestlers (or retired wrestlers) in this manner, just as TNA does.

i had a feeling he truly got injured just by the way the slam went. i think it had something to do with either his right arm or knee. they both hit bad! not in the usual spot

 

[starship.paint]

oops.

 

[Dan the Tank05]

^ that seemed quite sarcastic

 

[itsmadness]

Hopefully this means that King Bookah can replace him on commentary.

 

[P.Smith]

First botch as champion by Mark Henry, plenty more to come no doubt.

That's what happens when a gorilla slams you through an announce table, I guess.

 

[Mr.Cricket]

Matt Striker as his replacement, please.

Now just do the same to Cole and we will be on track.

I'm surprised Lawler agreed to that bump. That was quite a rough impact on that announcer table. Seems like it was even worse than if it had not break the way it did.

wow that slam didnt seem like it would hurt, i can take that shit no problem

yeah that would be awesome! i cant stand Cole!

yeah, he agreed but the move was bad and thats why he is truly injured, usually you are supposed to be slammed in the dead center. sadly, thats not what happened. Jerry was about half a foot off the actual "safe" position

Keep in mind Lawlers age mixed with the unpredictability of the announcers table. I'm surprised Lawler survived the ladder match with The Miz, honestly.

But then again with the shit Flair did in his ladder matches, I shouldn't be surprised.

Ah, so that's why Jerry Lawler is a legendary wrestler and you're a... whatever.

Lawler may be old but he still has some stamina in my eyes!

 

[MOGUNS!]

Mark Henry is a fuckin beast!

The real and only true Champion in the WWE right now.

 

[Saint 17]

It's not the stamina I'm worried about, it's the natural degradation of the body as people age.

 

[TheShaw310]

Cool. Until King is a heel again I wish death upon him.

 

[Kratosx23]

You never want to see anybody injured, but I'm certainly not going to complain if we can go a couple of Raws without Lawler playing the unbelievable annoyance he's come to be in the last several years.
