Two months after suffering a shocking on-air heart attack that
led the WWE to assure viewers that "this is not part of the
show," wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler returned to Raw
tonight to deliver a heartfelt message to fans—though exactly
how heartfelt we'll never know, because his speech was
interrupted by the very much kayfabe villainy of C.M. Punk, and
subsequent promo-ing between Punk and Mick Foley.  The entire
evening seemed to center booked scripts around Lawler's real-
life medical issues, which is awkward and weird when Foley is
screaming at Punk to respect Lawler because "The King" almost
died. Of course, the messy mix between work and shoot (say, when
Punk slugged a spectator) is what keeps the WWE relevant—because
it's certainly not Linda McMahon's political career. [USA]
