On Thursday, Pat Patterson visited Jerry Lawler in “The King’s” hospital room in Montreal and noted that his fellow WWE Hall of Famer “looks very, very good.”

“When I walked in there and he saw me in the window, he had a big smile on his face. He was very happy,” Patterson told WWE.com, noting that although Lawler has little memory of what occurred on Monday night, “The King’s” outlook is incredibly positive. “One of the doctors came by and wanted to take him to a different room for tests. Jerry had no problem getting out of bed and getting into a wheelchair.

“His sense of humor is there, I made him laugh. He’s doing very good.”

Last night, WWE released an official statement on the events in Montreal:

Jerry “The King” Lawler suffered a heart attack while commentating during last night’s broadcast of Monday Night Raw in Montreal. We are hopeful Jerry makes a full recovery and returns to WWE in the near future. Our thoughts are with Jerry and his family.

During the tag team match between Kane & Daniel Bryan and The Prime Time Players on Raw, viewers may have noticed members of the audience and WWE production team staring toward the commentary booth, as well as the absence of Jerry “The King” Lawler’s voice. WWE.com learned that the WWE Hall of Famer collapsed at the announcers' table and was tended to in the locker room area by WWE medical staff. Lawler was then taken from the arena to a medical facility in Montreal.
