“Nobody Asked You”: WWE Legend Placing a “Bet” on Damar Hamlin’s Health Leaves Fans Divided

The NFL world is praying for Damar Hamlin, who is in the hospital currently. The Buffalo Bills safety had a hard tackle with Tee Higgins on the field during the match against Cincinnati Bengals.

After they took Hamlin to the hospital, all the people and doctors gave their views on it. However, a WWE legend who shared his take about the Bills player got slammed on social media for his tweet.

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler shared a tweet giving his views on what must have happened to Hamlin. He was guessing it might be a heart attack, but the way he guessed angered the WWE and NFL fans.

Lawler wrote that he was “willing to bet,” about Damar Hamlin might have suffered a “cardiac arrest from the blunt trauma of that blow to his chest”. He further referred to a similar experience he had in 2012 while commentating on Monday Night RAW.

The 73-year-old legend was on commentary in a 2012 RAW episode, which was in Toronto, Canada. While Kane and Daniel Bryan were having a match with The Prime Time Players, Lawler collapsed at the announcing table.

He had just had a tag team match earlier that night against CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler. It was a frightening moment for everyone and Michael Cole respectfully handled the situation on commentary that night, announcing Lawler’s incident.
