I wonder if now Punk will use this for cheap heat saying he caused Lawler to have a heart attack

Somewhere HHH is sitting with a puss on his face with his arms folded cause he didn't get the chance to make death job to him first  Lawler "kicked out" of death... but make it job to him? Sounds silly... because he is not gonna do it EVERY SINGLE TIME

I wouldn't, it's smart business. If he died no but he's gonna be fine so yes I think it'd be funny but it might offend some people so I don't know if it's good business.

If that happens then it'll definitely win "Most Tasteless" from WON.
Since currently I have no idea what will.

There has been A LOT worse that has happened. Katie Vick, the death of Paul Bearer, the exloitation of Eddie Guerrero, the death of Vince Mcmahon, last year they used Jerry Lawler's Mother's Death in an angle, this year they did the CM Drunk angle which they also once ran on Jake Roberts who was a drunk and the Road Warrior Hawk angle so again they've done A LOT worse.

Yeah fuck you, you haven't had to watch a parent die of the same thing, and not be able to do anything about it. (though moms was a lot worse than the kings, though I thank whatever it is for that.) You go through that and ask yourself if it's good business.

Well this certainly seems to be an emotional issue. And I completely understand. But wrestling has done angles on all sorts of things. You can't take it personally. It's like the Onion has said about people getting offended at their humor; some will find a rape joke funny but then take offense at a satirical article about death because someone they know died. Randal you always mess with Volture about his ex-wife and all. Let's let cooler heads prevail.
That being said, I hope they don't turn this into an angle. They did have Miz mention Lawler's mom dying but as a means of condolences. If they do have Punk acknowledge it I hope he pays his respects and simply moves on.

Katie Vick, Vince's limo, CM Drunk= fictional.. If they do pull from real life scenario's it has been very distasteful in the past (eg: Lawler's mother) There is a difference between entertainment and crossing the line. Lawler's heart attack = REAL.

Jerry Lawler: proof that the Canadian health care system is STILL better than the US's People recover like that in the US health care system, so no, it isn't proof. The US health care system is great. The US health care insurance industry on the other hand.......

Any attempt to exploit Lawler's heart attack other than making Cole a face would be in bad taste.

There's an old saying in wrestling that "The best way to make an angle feel real is to exploit something real" Benoit and Kevin Sullivan, Matt Hardy and Edge, In TNA right now the Jesse Sorrensen angle. Granted those weren't about a death but Eddie Guerrero, Lawler's Mom were. Heck John Cena bad mouthed the late John Ritter while standing in a grave yard then he pissed on a grave. It's pro wrestling and it fuels off Raw Emotion. Oh an also the Un Americans after 9/11 telling America they got what they deserved.

True. But I feel this is one issue that should be off limits.
When Cornette says to base angles off something real, I don't think he meant this. I think he means taking elements of someone's personalty and actual life and building off there.
They definetly didn't turn the Benoit tragedy into a storyline and they shouldn't in this case as well.
For WWE to use this as a storyline would be in bad taste and I think they know that. One time when Linda's campaign and the PG desire to keep things safe for sponsors is a force of good.

Well if they're gonna have Lawler wrestle again it would be the perfect build for a match. oh and Al Snow eating his dead dog and Big Bossman dragging Big Show on his father's casket

Thing about that is; Lawler had to know that line was coming and pre-planned in the script, there is no way Cole would go off script and say something like that because of their real life friendship. They probably had Lawler's approval for that line. This whole thing should be treated like the Owen Hart situation. When Cornette says to base angles off something real, I don't think he meant this. I think he means taking elements of someone's personalty and actual life and building off there. Taking real life stuff and turning it into a storyline can be good (See: HBK/Bret hatred) but not someones death or near death experience.

Neither Pepper nor Big Show's dead dad were real at the time.
