Cole emphasized Lawyer's medical situation was not part of a storyline. Lawyer had wrestled earlier in a tag-team match with Rsandy Orton as his partner, returning to the announce table during the next commercial break before collapsing.
"This is not part of the show," Cole said, with a somber look on his face. "This is not part of entertainment."
Cole said Lawler was taken to a local hospital in Montreal after receiving CPR at the scene.
