Breaking: Jerrry Lawler Collapses at Live Event - UPDATE

Several media outlets are reporting that Memphis' own Jerry Lawler collapsed at a live WWE event. He was removed from the arena on a stretcher and CPR was performed. According to the WWE broadcast, this was real and not part of the entertainment storyline. The announcer also said Lawler has been moved to a hospital. As a show of respect for Lawler, Raw is continuing to broadcast without an announcer for the remainder of the show. Seems like they would shut down the production, but I guess the show must go on.

Thoughts and prayers to Jerry Lawler and his family.

UPDATE - Jerry "The King " Lawler's girlfriend has confirmed that Lawler had a heart attack this evening. He is in stable condition and breathing on his own.
