It's true, John. He got involved in a match. Won it and returned to the commentators table where he collapsed. CPR was performed on site and transported to hospital. Last report was he is stable and breathing on his own.

Hope he will be fine. Wonder ifn he broke out the knocks last night, bet he did pull down his shoulder strap ifn he was in a match. Jerry has got to be in his early 60s, time for him to behave himself.
Reese, you admit to knowing Brian Christopher? BwahahaQuote:

Nope! Never pulled down his shoulder strap even though he did 2 of his off the ropes tricks. He's 62.Quote:

I remember watching him on saturdays on channel 9, that was back when we could only get 3 stations and had to go outside to turn the antennae with a pipe wrench to get one of them.

Prayers sent for the King. Say they are concerned he might have some brain damage because it took about 15 to 20 minutes to revieve him.
Get well, King! I grew up watching Memphis rasslin' with Lawler, Bill Dundee, the Jarretts, and Lance Russell and Dave Brown.
Don't forget "the junkyard dog".Quote:

I haven't. I loved JYD and that big chain he wore around his neck. :biggrinQuote:

So were the Road Warriors, my all-time favorite tag team! I saw the the Road Warriors take on Lawler and Austin Idol in a tag team match at Rupp Arena. The Road Warriors were HUGE.Quote:
