Backstage News On The Paul Heyman - Jerry Lawler Heart Attack Angle

[A Blissful Ass]

WWE creative head Michael Hayes came up with the idea for exploiting Jerry Lawler's heart attack on RAW a couple of weeks ago. Hayes felt that the angle would get Punk super heat, and it'd carry over with non-Lawler affiliated story lines.

According to a source, Paul Heyman lobbied to have the angle changed to a slightly more tasteful version that would be more true to the Punk character. However, Hayes was said to be unrelenting in pushing his idea.

side note fuck Michael Hayes

[Slayer_X]

It sounded like a Heyman idea but if it was Hayes ............fuck him too . I know its pro wrestling but this was shameful

[Wolfenstein]

Nah, it was great. Fuck all the butthurt fans and you wonder why WWE is PG?

[Swinny]

The Punk promo itself was great, I don't see the issue with that, but the whole fake heart attack thing was just ridiculous and pointless and overkill.

[Kage]

I didn't think it was that bad tbh.
