It's been confirmed as a heart attack. He was dead for 20 minutes. How horribly ironic that the last time anything like this happened in WWE was Owen Hart, and Bret was on the show last night. I reckon he's never going to wrestle again, and will be off commentary for months.

Read about it this morning, jesus it's awful what's happened. Hopefully he pulls through and makes a full recovery but he definitely won't be wrestling again. I think he was doing far too much in the first place.

Watched it this morning and it was horrible. I thought WWE did the right thing in not having and commentary..... Although I expected them to mention it in some way, to the live audience.

In a side note I thought Micheal Cole did well in giving the updates and held himself together.

Can't stand Cole at the best of times but I think that he handled it with such professionalism as you could see how much it was affecting him.

I was just praying that it wasn't another Over The Edge moment.

Holy sh*t. Get well soon King.

Latest statement on the King's health is that he's still in the cardiac care unit in a Montreal hospital, however he's awake and able to converse with family and friends so it looks like he's over the worst of it.

Also, is it just me or does Bret Hart look healthier every time he comes back to WWE? I remember when he first came back and he looked really rough, not truly surprising giving the crap the guy's been through, but on Monday he looked better than he has done for some time IMO.

Thought he looked terrible, but as you say not as bad as he did.

Cole is the best heel in WWE, his latest tweets show his normal side and fair play to him for tweets about the King

John Cena will be wearing pink and black ring attire to tonights ppv in support of a breast cancer charity.

Say what you like about the guy in the ring, outside of it he does do a lot of good stuff
