I spent half a day in Memphis once. There was Lawler, hawking some shit product on a giant billboard, and then again at Corky's BBQ in the lobby on a giant autographed poster. I suspect if I had spent a week there, I would have seen Lawler's face a hundred more times. In Memphis, if Elvis is 1A, Lawler is 1B.

I hate WWE Jerry Lawler's character...the commentating sucks, when he was a wrestler, he was crap.
But Memphis and Territory Jerry. I actually dig a lot of the shit they did. He's got a plethora of memorable moments, whether its Andy Kaufman or fireballs to the face or feuding in the AWA.
(it'll take you to the rest)

Saw this point mentioned on the Meltzer board, although it doesn't mean much, it's beyond an amazing thing that whether he had a stroke/heart attack/whatever, it happened at a WWE show and not some shitty indy. Medical personnel was able to reach him as soon as he went into distress and do what they were trained to do.
At your average indy, odds are the people call 911 and have to wait however long.Comment

Lawler needs to go on a fucking vacation.
That nigga has worked 365 for 40 years.
Take a break.
The creepiest part of the broadcast was going back and listening to him starting to slur his speech about 5 minutes before the heartattack. You can tell he had something wrong with him but he was fighting through it to get through the broadcast...stumbling his words, slurring speech, a bit of lethargy in his voice. Pretty creepy shit knowing in hindsight that he's suffering the start of a heart attack.Comment

If Lawler was anywhere else in the world...anywhere at all...he'd be dead this morning.
WWE always has droves of paramedics on scene and were able to respond at the snap of a finger when he went down. If he was at home, or at a hotel, or driving down the street or even parked outside of a hospital...ol boy is dead today.Comment

The Shiek, not the Iron Shiek, wrestled well into his 70's. He wrestled a fire death match in FMW and collapsed right afterwards. These guys just can't let it go.Comment

That or any sporting event where serious physical injury could occur. You have paramedics in an ambulance on standby at any high school football game as well. All collegiate and pro games are going to have them regardless of sport.Comment
