Ha! I remember when ol' Pat Patty and Gerald Brisco were somewhat of the big deal old timey duo in the late 90s who always got beat up but sometimes would have a shining moment. God I hate them both...

Scary stuff. I hope Lawler is okay.

More on what happened...

UPDATE: F4WOnline reports that Lawler had was appeared like a seizure and he was carried back to the backstage area. The crew is cleaning the floor; Lawler may have vomited and he did fall off his chair.

The report says that backstage during the commercial break, people were "running all over the place seemingly not knowing what to do."

ORIGINAL: Arda Ocal of The Score has noted on Twitter that Jerry Lawler looks to have collapsed while doing commentary at Raw. Ocal posted:

Something is going on with Jerry Lawler right now at the commentary table... It looks like he collapsed. Not part of show.

He is being carried away by personnel to the backstage area. He appeared unconscious as he was being carried.

I sincerely hope Jerry is OK. When I looked over he was hunched over convulsing in his seat and collapsed, then multiple ppl carried him out

More on this story as soon as we know anything.

Cole said with respect to what happened to Lawler there will be no more commentary throughout the show. I'm not sure if that's a deliberate choice or to make the most out of a terrible situation. Cole seems greatly affected, as one would expect. I just hope Lawler is alright. I'm very worried with how Cole is acting.

Praying for a full recovery for Jerry, love or hate him, the man is a legend in the business. Word going around is that he had to be shocked back to life and was clinically dead for several minutes.

Yikes, scary that something like that happens at a live event, be it a live televised event.

Hope Jerry recovers fine and even if he couldn't return to the desk full time, at least be able to do a couple full shows so he can retire on a good note (i.e. Wrestlemania with JR). Hope this wasn't brought on by having those rare matches once or twice a year now that he's no longer a full time in-ring performer.

Kudos to Michael Cole though, as much as I dislike the guy he handled the situation about as well as anyone could who saw a working partner (and likely friend) suffer a serious medical emergancy. Just like JR and Lawler had to do with Owen Hart, I can't imagine having to sit in that chair and communicate with a large audience on a level like that.

Get well soon King!

And I don't think the rest of Raw matters at this point, though it was nice to hear Bret get the big pop from the always loud and great Montreal fans. Man they should have a Wrestlemania in Olympic Stadium one year, the arena would blow up!
