"Who cares about the number of minutes that somebody was clinically dead?"
Date:
12.11.2012
Michael Cole: "Ladies and Gentlemen, nine weeks ago tonight my broadcast colleague Jerry The King Lawler collapsed at ringside. And JR, it is in absolute miracle that we have come to this point tonight."

Jim Ross: "Ladies and Gentlemen, may of us thought this night might never come, but without any further ado, please join me and the WWE Universe in welcoming back WWE Hall of Famer, and my friend, Jerry The King Lawler!"

[Lawler kommt unter tosendem Applaus zum Ring, wo er JR und Cole herzlich umarmt]

Jerry Lawler: "Wow. I have no idea what I should say right now. This is so overwhelming. I can't tell you how much this means. Thank you. Thank you. I am certainly along with JR thinking that there was a time that there was a time that I didn't think that I would be able to step back in a WWE ring again. So for this night to actually happen is beyond words for me. You know, I don't wanna try... I'm not trying to get corny or cheesy, but every holiday season there is a classic movie that comes out. And you all probably have seen it, called It's a Wonderful Life. It's about a guy that didn't know how much his life meant to everybody that he knew, all his family and friends. And it took a near-death experience for him to realise that, you know. I, in the past few weeks, have lived that movie. And I had no idea how many of you out there, how many friends and fans, that I had, that reached out with your love and your prayers and send it my way. And I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it and I love each and every one of you. Thank you all so much! And it's great to be back!"

["Cult of Personality" unterbricht ihn. CM Punk und Paul Heyman machen sich auf den Weg zum Ring, den Lawler nun verläßt. Michael Cole erklärt, dass Lawler und Punk über den Sommer so ihre Probleme miteinander gehabt haben und unterstellt Punk Respektlosigkeit gegenüber Lawler]

CM Punk: "Jerry, I'm glad you left the ring when you did, because if you didn't I would have beat you to death. Again. Yeah, boo me because what I do is in bad taste. The things I say are disrespectful. But whatever you do, don't point a finger at Jerry The King Lawler. No, he's the conquering hero. He's defeated death. He died and he came back to life. He's a real life zombie. Everybody knows I love zombies. But the fact is, that your [Lawler's] behaviour is disrespectful. What you do is in bad taste. Because to me a 62-year-old man putting on his wrestling gear and stepping in the ring, thinking he can relive his glory days and go toe to toe with your reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Champion, is in bad taste. And what did you think was gonna happen when you go toe to toe with the best in the world? Well, I guess one of the side effects of that is having a heart attack.

And shame on all of you people. For pointing a finger at me and and sending me hate mail. Sending me nasty tweets. Saying that I did this to Jerry Lawler, when it's nobodies fault except for his. Blame falls squarely on your shoulders on this one, King. It's true. And you people point a finger at me and say: 'Oh CM Punk, you are a bad person. What you do is in bad taste.' No, shame on you Jerry Lawler. Shame on you for trying to steal my spotlight with this whole heart attack stunt. You know, people in the back are talking about the number of minutes that you were clinically dead. And I look them in the eye and say: 'Who cares?' Who cares about the number of minutes that somebody was clinically dead? I can give you a number that actually means something.

358! And that's the number of days that I have consecutively, successfully defended my WWE Championship! I have just recently tied Big Daddy Cool Diesel as the ninth longest reigning WWE Champion in company history. I want you all to think about that right now. The ninth longest reigning champion in history. And you can dismiss Diesel if you feel like it. You can dismiss my title reign. But I'll give you a number that really means something. 365! Because in one week's time I will be standing in this ring one year strong, No end in sight, WWE Champion. Because on sunday at Survivor Series I will beat Ryback! I will beat John Cena! Just like I have before.

And honestly, King, from the bottom of my heart, I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're back. And on sunday I'm glad you have the front row seat to watch me do exactly what I say I'm gonna do. Just try not to croak before the pay per view, okay?"

Jerry Lawler: "I'll do my best not to. But as I see it, the only thing that's on life support is your run as WWE Champion."

CM Punk: "Oh, good one, King. You know, perhaps if you feel that strongly about it, maybe you wanna get in the... [Heyman fängt im Hintergrund an zu husten] you want to get in the ring. Paul? Are you alright? [Heyman geht zu Boden und fasst sich an die Brust. Punk ruft um Hilfe und deutet eine Herzmassage an. Nach einigen Augenblicken lösen sie ihr Schauspiel auf und lachen Lawler aus] My god, Paul, you almost gave me a heart attack."

[Nun kommt Mick Foley zum Ring marschiert]

Mick Foley: "You know, Punk, doesn't cease to amaze me that somebody who demands respect like you refuses to give it to somebody who commands respect, like Jerry The King Lawler!"

CM Punk: "How about you respect Paul Heyman? This man has had a heart attack, okay? And I brought him back to life. And you know what? He didn't need two month off like Jerry Lawler. What are you doing out here? This is getting redundant, Mick. You're wasting my time. You're wasting our time. You and I have no business together. We're no longer captains of opposing Survivor Series teams. That's because Mr. McMahon chose to further screw me at Survivor Series. And he took Ryback off of your team. So maybe you should worry less about me and what I'm doing, and worry more about that gaping hole left on your team."

Mick Foley: "You know, I'm not gonna worry about that gaping whole left in my team, because I'm not picking the final member of Team Foley at Survivor Series. The WWE Universe is going to picking the last member of Team Foley at Survivor Series."

CM Punk: "Wow, that's a great decision. You know, I couldn't be happier for you, Mick. A little piece of advice, you shouldn't care what the WWE Universe thinks. Because they can't think. I mean, hell, I stopped giving a damn what anybody thought of me a loooong time ago. And I'm much better off. Another piece of advice, change the name of your team for Survivor Series. To Team Worthless. Because you're a worthless captain leading a worthless team, trying to fill a worthless spot on that worthless team with the worthless opinions from these worthless people from worthless Columbus, Ohio..."

Mick Foley: "SHUT UP! Can I tell you something about Jerry Lawler? A little secret about Jerry The King Lawler? HE WAS DEAD! HE WAS DEAD! WE LOST JERRY THE KING LAWLER! And through miracles, and hope, and medical attention, and yes, the thoughts and prayers of the WWE Universe, he's with us here today! And you're right, Punk, you don't care. You don't care! But you should have lost sight of the fact that the world does not revolve around you! Somehowe you think, that the fact that Jerry Lawler is still here, the fact that we lost him, that he's back, somehow involves you! And it doesn't! So when I found out that in my absence, while I was overseas, fulfilling a commitment I made to our troops, that the decision had been made by Mr. McMahon and Vickie Guerrero to change the teams at Survivor Series, I was not happy! Because I wanted so desperately, so desperately, Punk, to be part of a team that tought you a lesson. But then I realised, you don't care about lessons and respect. You don't give a DAMN about anything... but your WWE Championship! At Survivor Series now you're gonna be in a position where Ryback and John Cena are gonna strip that championship from you."

CM Punk: "Really? You think so?"

Mick Foley: "I think so."

CM Punk: "You think so? Well, nobody's been able to learn how to beat me for my WWE title in 358 days. And it's gonna be the same at Survivor Series. And certainly nobody is gonna be able to learn how to beat me from the likes of you. And there isn't anything in the world that you can even teach me. Because I don't feel like climbing up and jumping off my roof like some goof. Okay? None of this involves you, Mick. So all the passion and screaming and finger pointing in the world doesn't do you any good. Because you don't matter and you don't belong out here. None of this involves you at all."

Mick Foley: "Actually some of it does involve me. I got a little bit of a parting gift for you tonight. See, right before I came out here I was informed that during your match with John Cena later tonight, right here in Columbus, Ohio, [cheap pops] that I of the finger pointing and roof jumping, would be your special guest enforcer! Have a nice day."
