DAYTONA BEACH SHORES -- Once again, at its convention last week, the new Democratic Party has shown its disdain for Israel.

WWE announcer and Hall of Fame wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawyer apparently collapsed at ring-side during tonight's live "Monday Night Raw" telecast and was undergoing CPR, co-announcer Michael Cole told the television audience just after 10:20 p.m.

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.
