Hope he's OK.

Think it should be a warning to getting legends involved in the ring. He's 62 year old for fucksake. What are they playing at getting him involved in matches, still?

Oh, and just read this on the WWE website: "We are hopeful Jerry makes a full recovery and returns to WWE in the near future"

Really? Is that the most important thing right now? That he gets back to the WWE? How about just wishing him a full recovery and say you wish him and his family all the best.

You didn't see Bolton putting any pressure on Muamba back to play football and he's a fit 20 odd something year old. I'll say it again, Jerry's a 62 year old man and shouldn't be put under this type of pressure to perform.

They need him to comeback because otherwise that means they'd have to draft JR back in for a bit. I think Vince would sooner stick a mic under Lawler's nose in hospital than face having JR back too often.

It was really disturbing , he kinda mumbled somthing and then you could kinda see him doubled over in his chair in the background.

Just hope he's alright.

Actually, in fairness, WWE would have to say something bland and positive, otherwise people would assume they were writing him off, when he might well make a good recovery.

It's just that knowing WWE, it's not their forte to strike the right tone.

To be fair, Muamba's career was as good as over as soon as he collapsed, not that the club would have pressurised him to come back anyway.

I just read that WWE comment as them wishing him well and assuring him his job is there when he's fit enough to return.




I haven't got around to watching RAW yet, so this is a bit of a shock, but it's something i've feared for a long time given Vince's habit of putting senior WWE staff in the ring.

He wrestled twice, for independent shows, over the weekend, so not sure you can blame WWE completely

A fair point, but his recent storyline with CM Punk has been pretty strenuous. The cage match the other week would have been hard for a man half his age.

Get well soon King, WWE Ledgend.. stick to commentating the voice of WWE!

He's 62.

He shouldn't be wrestling anyone.

Best wishes for a speedy return to the commentary booth for Jerry!! Could also scupper any possible plans for Ric Flair's in-ring return too; do they really need to take the risk?
